This is great news! I'll be buying it!

Very cool! I've always wanted to see someone make a college baseball game!

KC · 06-11-2005, 11:49 PM

I'll be buying the college baseball game. However, I wanted to see college hockey in there too. Doubt that will happen anytime soon.

Although it sounds good it'll have no multi-player franchise mode and no pro game to export the players into.

Steve Kuffrey · 06-12-2005, 12:19 PM

I just see this as a very limited market, though I could be wrong. Personally I have no interest in it.

Me either... while I love college baseball, I just don't see this game having close to the statistical accuracy or off the field realism that I would hope for. Most of these kind of games fall well short in that regard.

It's probably going to be another sports game that caters only to the buttom jammers.

I'd buy that game long before I bought an NHL game. College hockey is probably my third favorite sport behind Pro Baseball and Pro Football.

Pro Baseball
Pro Football
College Hockey
College Football (very close to being tied)
Pro Hockey
College Basketball
College Baseball (I can't say I've ever really seen a game of college baseball as the Gopher baseball team just doesn't usually get the coverage like the Gopher Hockey or Basketball)
Pro Basketball

The market will be there only because EA is making the game.

Not a big Wolves fan, huh?

It would be sweet if they could export to MVP 2005.

I bet this wouldn't be that hard to implement if they so desired.

Would be a very cool feature.

But there isn't an import feature in MVP 2005. Wonder how they would do it, automatically maybe? No idea how it would work, but I'm sure it's possible.

Code it into the game and include the "new" mvp 2005 disc with the purchase of college baseball.

GForce · 06-12-2005, 11:26 PM

I don't know enough about programming to know how they would do it, but the second disk or releasing a patch are options. I just think it's the kind of thing that, if implemented, could cut into Take-Two's venture.

I don't know, the tone of that article sounds more speculative than definitive. Has EA actually announced they will do this?

Gus · 06-13-2005, 11:35 AM

Hmmm, i wonder how editable MVP 2006 would be...... and perhaps modders could make a pro version out of it?

Several reasons I think it will go down.

1. Money, EA has tons of it, if the game does not sell and they lose money then they can eat it with no problems and cancel the series.
If the game does ok they can keep making them and build up a base of gamers who will buy the game year to year.

2. They have a good relationship with the NCAA so getting a liscense would be no problem.

3. They have a game engine and nothing to do with it. Why not make use of it adapting it to an untapped sport?

4. They have the people already with three baseball games under their belt with no current project to work on since they have no MLB anymore. Makes sense to let them work on the exact same sport.

5. Advertising. EA is good at it and has loads of cash. If they think there is even a slight chance of sucess then they will make the game and market it.

6. Me. I have e-mailed them like 15 times on the matter over the years. I think they are starting to break

tim_uwrf · 06-13-2005, 06:50 PM

With the Xbox version, I would think they would be able to export it to a season of choice for MVP 2005 and just overwrite the Draft Class (like OOTP does it).
