Baseball games in general are a tough sell, it would appear. I'm surprised that The Show's sales have slipped so far in the past 3 years. Wonder why that is when the game is so highly regarded?

Yes. I'd pay 75 for a college version of The Show 11

I have ncaa mvp 06 and i absolutely loved it. Quite possibly, the best baseball game ever made in my opinion

College baseball just doesnt have the same appeal that college football has and for that reason I dont see a college baseball game ever being made again. They dont even make college basketball games anymore.

I loved 06 and 07. I actually purchased a PS2 again to play 07. I would absolutely buy NCAA MVP again if they ever made it. If EA or someone actually put it 100 % effort into the game and aggressively marketed the game, then I think it would sell just fine.

I always thought NCAA MVP06 was a great game! Especially with the ESPN Mike Patrick presentation and realism it had at the time. Funny this article came out, because I just recently I brushed the dust off of it and put it in my XBOX and played it. Holy Cow is it dated! After spending the last couple of years and especially this year 2012 MLB the Show has spoiled me to the point that I wouldn't want to play it (NCAAMVP06) anymore. Even if a new version of it came out... MLB The Show and all its glory would just overwhelm it.

Now that the market is down to PS3-only baseball games (Show and Pro Yakyuu Spirits), I believe a college baseball game could succeed...at least on the XBOX. If done correctly, the game could potentially sway a lot of MLB fans to buy the college game. I know I would because there are way more teams, more things to do in dynasty mode, etc..

I always have fun when I put NCAA MVP 06 in my ps2. But in all honesty there'll probably never be a college baseball game again. But I'd love to see a college hoops game again.

lol well in 2007 gamers "voted with their wallets" and the series was cancelled. consumers aren't always as smart as they think
