At the end of all this became very tedious. 2K7 eliminates most of this and allows me to enjoy playing the game more.

R.I.P. 6.5 for me!

Just take a look at these forums, the lack of activity here is a good indicator that 6.5 has become a relic. Perhaps I will play it one day for some nostalgic fun but there is no way that 6.5 can compare to 2K7. The only thing that I miss from 6.5 is sound and hopefully that will be in version 2K8.

Hey, I still play MVP 2005 on my kids ps2.

So, I gathered the view of many in this thread is that 6.51 was better than 2006. Later in this thread, it seems many prefer 2007 over 6.51, tho. Interesting.

What did they change from '06 to '07 to convince you?

2006 was definitely rushed to release (and even then, it was released towards the end of May), and was rather buggy. Also, the interface was very cumbersome.

As far as things that were added, the two biggest adds in 2007 would be in-game expansion (you could always realign/add teams, but there was no way of stocking them without a lot of work), and FaceGen.

Facegen + Manager Home Page + the whole game is just SO much more polished. 2006 was really rough and it was easy to get bogged down with cumbersome details.
