The soundtrack on it was great as was the one for the college baseball 06 game. Madden had great sound tracks back then too.

I never played the 2007 one but I did the 2006 one. A few years ago I got me a PS2 and several old games and badly wanted the 2007 college baseball game but I couldn't justify the price. You can find PS2 games for $5 or less but that 2007 college baseball game must be a treasured addition cause the cheapest one I could find was like $40.

I play 2006 every now and then on my original XBOX.

Now that my son is playing college ball I am going to have to revisit it!

Hopefully after EA has their College Football game up and running, they will give a return to MLB some serious thought. I wish they would return to making College Basketball and NASCAR games again too.

EDIT - I just realised what sub-forum this is in. Strange.

I had the game on PS2 and then on PC. Probably the most fun I've had with a graphic baseball game (had some great OOTP play). Its one of the only games I've ever finished a full 162 season on.


On PC it's great because of all the classic rosters you can do and the stadium mods. Just phenomenal fun.

I started this thread to compare MVP to the Show. That’s why it’s in the Show’s forum.

Holy crap guys.....we are head deep into a William Peace University Dynasty on MVP 2006 NCAA Baseball.

Man this game is such a blast and fundamentally holds up!!!!!

So much so I am also doing a new Yankees franchise on MVP 2005 as well till Spring 2024. Then back to Yankees Year 8 on The Show 20.

But wow.....what a great series and the gameplay and franchise/dynasty depth is top notch.

Also defense and base-running controls are still better on this series than The Show. So good.

We were spoiled then and had no idea. From 2003-2006 we had: Madden at its’ peak, NFL 2k5, MVP at its’ peak, NCAA Football 06, 3 collegiate sports represented in games, NHL 2004, NHL 2k5, NBA Live 2005, PES 6, and EA Nascar at its’ peak.

Then 2k sells for $20, NFL and EA get simultaneously pissed and sign with each other, and the slide begins that continues today.
