createbaseball Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 with the looming death of MVP baseball as we know it, one suggestion was made to EA to continue their beloved MVP gameplay with college baseball....like their succesful NCAA basketball and football. Personally, I would love to see this...even though not having pro ball would and is going to suck....I love the gameplay and the "real" feel of baseball that this game has and would welcome seeing it in this form. I am wondering if there would be a market for it? and also if so, if its possible to encourage EA to do this.... (waiting for tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbully Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I would...and I know stecropper would too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cable901 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 It'll never happen, because college baseball is nowhere near as popular as college football or college basketball. There's no way it would be profitable for EA to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stix Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 heck yes i would. i love college sports(football and basketball) far better than their professional counterparts. i would buy it in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
createbaseball Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 thats what I was thinking too....but I wonder if it would still be worth EA's time with all of the MVP baseball fans that would still want to play the game. Also, I know college baseball is making a serious attempt at marketing itself better (uniform season start times, TV deals, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoltinJoeCarter Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 what are the chances of sony, or sega or whatever to bring their games to the PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I had this idea of turning MVP into a sorta RPG. You'd create your player when he is a child. You then control your player through Little League, High School, College, College Summer leagues (You know, like the Cape Cod league), and the ultimate goal would be to get to the Majors (which would be generic).

stecropper Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Bigbully is Dead-Center-On-Target ----------> Yes, I would pay for and play MVP College Baseball along with my 3 sons in Colleges across American which would mean I would have to buy 1 MVP College Baseball for the PC & 3 for the xBox ---> Thank God my daughter who is also in college doesn't play this game !!!! But Seriously, I think that is a very lucrative Market Niche that is seriously being missed by the major players ............. I think with all the Modding Wizards here at MVPMods that we should gather our forces and create one our selves ....... the only real challenge I think is figuring out how to switch that Crack of the Bat sound to the Ping of the Bat sound !!!! FuzZ for President of College World Series Baseball ----> brought to you directly from the future home of the Commissioner Trues himself ---- Omaha - BABY !!! FuzZ is also incharge of ingame Cheerleaders both the "PG" version and the other version ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg2977 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 yes, I would play it, but I'm a hardcore baseball fan. The casual fan and gamer would not buy a college baseball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely tend to disagree. Though I would buy it and enjoy it, it would be a total waste of EA's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsoxkid Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 i doubt it, I couldnt name a college player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamingboy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Mark Prior, JD Drew and Jason Veritek all played in college..... I DO believe that EA would do a College Baseball game, but it'd probably be a once-every-5 years type of thing, like their Rugby game and (soon) their Arena Football games.

bigbully Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 the players wouldn't have to be real - you can always do roster mods. There is no college game out there w/actual names anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsPlay2 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 And another thing.... what's stopping Sony, or Microsoft from buying the rights to EA's technology, for just a few years, so they can put out a game? Same thing as EA, but with a new "maker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing as EA, but with a new "maker". I believe part of the T2 deal was that, in addition to not being allowed to make a 3rd party game, no 3rd party could, in association with a 1st party, make a MLB game.

mrarcade2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 EA has convinced me they can put out a great baseball game over the last 2 years. I would DEFINATELY purchase a college game if it had similar gameplay like the MVP series.... without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
