None of the players were real, they didn’t have the rights for their likeness. Eventually that’s why EA lost the rights to the games, the players couldn’t make money for their likeness
Is it not how the basketball and football games worked though? They didn’t use the real names but they were all modeled after the real players. Example Judge would be #99 CF or an autogenerated name
@@ThatBoyKlink did you watch the video? Kevin literally did not understand that concept throughout the whole video which is why this comment was needed….
@@lebronakon2324 Originally yeah that's not NCAA games worked. Or games with "Bonds" in it, usually the same number but not even remotely looking like him. College games however when they did come out in their main year, everyone KNEW who that player was supposed to be because they typically were the same number and looked similar to the actual players the best they can. College baseball probably would have gotten away with it for awhile but i don't think it did crazy well proabably more of a "niche" crowd who wanted to play it, it was a fun game. but once the basketball player whos name I forget realized his likeness was being used that was the death blow for college games prior to NCAA 25 because EA didn't want to (nor did the NCAA allow or want) players being paid for it.
The 06/07 =college baseball games were awesome for being made by a skeleton crew. Half the fun I had was seeing who made it to the CWS and which teams were on the rise and who was underachieving. Pepperdine, Tulane, and Vandy were all scary good in the game, Pepperdine came out of nowhere to win the CWS my first season in dynasty and take down Oregon State in two games and in convincing fashion. Tulane beat them the next year and Vandy had to go the distance in that third series
My brother and I used to play this game when we were younger on the PS2. Some years later my sister went to OSU n became a beaver. Unlocked a hidden memory
The players are real but they couldn't use their actual names just there likeness at the time. I remember MVP 06 having Troy Tulowitzki and Evan Longoria being on Long Beach State, also Max Scherzer on Missouri.
For the players, yes and no, it's complicatged but I'll try to explain it. Back in the day, you couldn't legally use the names or likenesses of college players even though you saw them on TV or at the stadium if you went to a game, because of the NCAA's strict adherence to these are not pros, these are not paid athletes they can't sign away their name or likeness and so on, laws the NCAA had. This has led to a bunch of lawsuits and explaining all the outcome of it would be too boring. But in a nutshell, EA tried to get around this by using the real player attributes, height, weight, handedness skin tone, attributes and so on (this all came out during Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit where EA's internal emails were shown to the court and media), and hoped EA hoped nobody would notice. EA left it up to the community to do rosters, by default you'd have things like LF #19 or QB #4 in the football games or PF #12 in the basketball games,but you could absolutely tell who it was, even though there was no name for the athlete. This is why Ed O'Bannon sued because EA got too good with his likeness, and Sam Keller found the same thing out as well and joined the lawsuit. So TL🐉 Semi-fake players with the right height/weight/handedness/etc but no real names. Also if you look up who was on what team in 05-06, it's fun to see who made it to the majors and who went on to do other things as well. Same for CFB and basketball tooblatanty

Tulane is a university in New Orleans. It’s actually one of the best universities in the South. Up there with Duke, SMU, Rice, and Vanderbilt. If you’re going to play this again, play St. John’s (New York). It has one of the best baseball programs in the Northeast and is a Big East powerhouse. I think you’ll like playing them.
@ St. John’s has one of the best programs in the region and has won more Big East baseball championships than any other program in the conference. What do you mean I don’t know what I’m talking about? Check it out for yourself.
I wish MLB The Show would shamelessly steal a thing or ten from that ballpark creator! Picking a background, and then focusing on the field would be perfect for me. I drove myself crazy trying to create a neighborhood-type background, and eventually just stopped messing around with stadium creator.
Cocks vs Beavers. You want me to believe you didn't do that on purpose?
Ball color is pitch type. White is fastball. Red is breaking ball. Green is change up

ps2 was a gem and always will be
Kevin might be right about the play by play guy being drunk. 20:25 he calls “a drive to left” on one off the right field wall.
10 seconds in and Kevin is already not understanding basic game information lmao
There’s no way Kevin can be this slow when it comes to these old school sports games 😏
St. John's University is in Queens, NY.
My brother and I used to play this game when we were younger on the PS2. Some years later my sister went to OSU n became a beaver. Unlocked a hidden memory
*Picks generated names* "ARE THESE REAL PEOPLE?"
wow a metal bat in a baseball video game?! thats a first
On create a stadium you can hit X to edit the fence heights and distance by section
games back in the day you could pick youre parm in exhibition if i remember correctly
You played in my favorite stadium of MVP Baseball 2005
Begging they bring this back
This game was awesome. Had a sick stadium creator too.
This may have been the best game I ever played. Probably nostalgia but man I love it. Metal bats is just nuts in a video game
would love to see a ncaa baseball dynasty
I’d be down for this as a series maybe🤷🏼♂️
this is how i discovered the mvp and college sports stuff as a whole
Really need this to make a comeback
I still have the original Xbox and have 06 NCAA and I still play it.. it's so fun!
Same
I GRINDED this game back on ps2 days
Thank you for picking the Beavs Kevin 🙌🏻
I miss this game
I loved this game.
miss this game☹☹
The players are real but they couldn't use their actual names just there likeness at the time. I remember MVP 06 having Troy Tulowitzki and Evan Longoria being on Long Beach State, also Max Scherzer on Missouri.
The fact you’ve picked my alma mater twice is hilarious😂
Roll Niners!!!
I'm just happy Kevin FINALLY realized he was pitching wrong in a MVP game.
I love this game
I love the fact that it says no special needs on the players like that is gonna affect the gameplay
kevin with his goddamn baseball games
Played the hell out of this at 7
Props to Kevin's headphone cord for putting in work this video
Kevin my goat
Kevin you have to play MLB Power Pros next video you won’t regret it
Kevin thinks a retro game is amazing and the best game ever 😱
Can’t believe that’s Jared weaver on the cover
alright. so this is your content now. gotcha

All the Mets fans watching this video saw Jason Day and got PTSD!
You should check out the MVP 07 Reborn mod on PS2 emulator 🔥
Cal Poly mentioned 😂
Jesus christ you still dont know to hold down the button to pitch to fill the meter!!!!
You can argue by spamming triangle after a play
Better animations than 05.
College baseball 2026 the show needed
I wish MLB The Show would shamelessly steal a thing or ten from that ballpark creator! Picking a background, and then focusing on the field would be perfect for me. I drove myself crazy trying to create a neighborhood-type background, and eventually just stopped messing around with stadium creator.
Kevin play mlb power pros
Your headphones irritate me
The roster for this was not correct. 06 had real rosters without names.
Cocks versus Beavers!
06 was better. It had name brand cleats
I dont know which us odder that you have 300k subs or I have followed you for like 5 years.
Do you have a P.O. Box so I can send you some wireless earbuds because those earbuds will pull your ears off your head brother it’s so taut
Poor earbud wire hanging on for dear life
Finally
Cal poly Pomona 🤣
bro got so bad at the show he just started playing other baseball games😂😂
Never been this early
SC Gamecocks I’m an alum
Go beavs
pick a good team ffs.
in 06 there were MLB players in the game.. Blake Snell I remember for sure :)
Blake Snell would have been around 14 years old…
