I initially purchased NCAA 06 because I wanted a baseball game for my new PS2, and I had more interest in my school's team than any Major League team. Sadly, MVP 06 seemed a bit sloppy to me, particularly when using the analog joysticks.
MVP 07 version seems to be a marked improvement over its predecessor. This game has visual instruction as to how one uses various pitching/batting/fielding buttons, as opposed to simply putting the instruction in the manual. The game seems to have a far better response from the keypad/joystick than the prior version of NCAA Baseball. The change to the graphical illustration of the rock-and-fire pitching motion is perhaps the greatest visual improvement to the game, as it is otherwise rather similar to MVP 06 in terms of menu layout, graphics, and gameplay. Similar, yet improved.
Overall, NCAA Baseball MVP 07 is a worthwhile game to own if you're a college baseball fan, and certainly more worthy of your shelf than the prior year's game. The gameplay is fun, it's rather easy to play once you get used to the controls, and the gameplay seems closer to the way college baseball is played than many sports games seem to be relative to their respective sports. Sure, it doesn't take 3 hours to finish a game, but the way pitchers tire, the way momentum carries innings, the way the ball can fly off of a bat (but not be a home run every time...), it just seems a bit more realistic than the cartoonish feel of football, basketball, or pro baseball video games.Get more detail about MVP 07 NCAA Baseball.
