I am not saying that this is the greatest game out there. I am saying think before you speak and look at what EA is going through. One thing I don't like is that toggle stick fielding stuff, now that sucks.
Its not that bad I just think a real or true baseball fan might just some enjoyment out of this. But when I first saw that they were releasing this I said to myself okay this is the first college baseball game I have ever seen. Not to say there are not any others. I said this wont be MVP MLB this is something different. I had no clue at the time that it was due to the lost of the best baseball game ever MVP Baseball. So think about it they had to try to do something and cut some corners to make what they thought was the next best baseball game since the golden goose was stolen.
Show a little sympathty and stand by the makers of many other fine sporting games. And remember the good times we all had with the MVP and even back to the Triple Play days. Didn't remember that one did you.
But people dont want understanding they want a great cutting edge mind blowing game. Its not always going to be that way. Its baseball and thats all I wanted.
So one last time for the road.
What Do You Really Expect ???
Pros-
Graphics are fantastic. Couldn't really have done much better.
Player animations are phenomenal. The catcher looks around and gets set in his stance and then throws the ball back after the pitch. After the pitcher recieves it he does his own custom motion to get back into his stance. A little feature but something that I thougt helped bring the game to life. There are other animations taht are great as well but that was one I was particularly impressed with.
Controls are very very good, but comes with an asterisk (I'll explain later). The new load and fire batting I thought was very clever and allows the player to actually get a feel for swining a baseball bat. Very good I thought and the new throwing is good but can have some things worked out.
Ping! Haha the sounds of the game were pretty good, I personally thought that was cool.
The fact that you can play with almost all of the D-1 schools was pretty impressive.
Cons-
Controls may be fun but are hard to pick up easily. The load and fire makes the game more realistic but is hard to pick up. The throwing in this game was paritcularly difficult. There is a new meter which you have to point to the base in which you are throwing and if you make a tiny mistake its either thrown way over the player's head or thrown in the dirt. Makes it more real and doesn't piss you off liek in MVP 05 and before whenever your friend or the computer made a ridiculous play which seemed impossible.
The commentary was a bit weak. Baseball is not exactly a fast paced sport and there seem to be many times in which there is no commentary. It leaves a lot of wholes in the sound. Also with sound, there wasn't much of a crowd which kind of stunk. AND WHERE ARE THE FIGHT SONGS! EA partnered up with Victory records on this game but could only muster up 10 songs in which some are ok. Whatever....
There wasn't a lot to this game. Dynasty mode wasn't much more then recruiting players, keeping people happy and playing baseball. That was about it. There aren't any other really fun modes in the game. Yeah the mini games are ok but it gets old after a while. And create a park gets dull in about five seconds, except that you can creat parks that have the dimensions of Major League parks even though they cant say the real stadiums due to restrictions.
ESPN interaction with the game is cool, although if you can't hook your PS2 up to the internet its sort of worthless.
Overall, the game seemed like its getting there and could be a staple in the sports and video game industry. Although its not a Madden or NCAA football it still seemed to keep me occupied. As long as they get a few more things to do, changing players names was easier to find, some of the controls are tightened up, and they get some more collegiate athletic atmosphere! So is it worth your 30 bucks, it may not be... But if you love baseball and are willing to take a swing at the new line of MVP games go for it... otherwise I'd wait until next year and see what changes they made... And i hoped this helped peopel out considering the guy before this is a complete moron. Haha GO IRISH FIESTA BOWL NEXT YEAR WOOO
