  1. The mini-games are awesome, especially the batting challenge, which lets you get used to EA's "load and fire" batting system (which, we hear, was licensed from Club Jenna).
  2. The new gameplay elements and controls are great innovations, and they really force players to develop some skill.
  3. The game itself is pretty decent, but it doesn't pack the punch of an MLB license.
  4. The only addition is Online Everywhere, which lets you check out the live ESPN ticker while still in the game, and it's hardly essential. [Apr 2006, p.93]

    Improved graphics from last year, gameplay is good. Has all the extras you could want: create a player, team and ballpark. The dynasty mode is also deep; recruiting, all division 1 teams and the best of all the college world series. Expand

    Not up to par with past years, but it looks like this is the beggining of a above average new series from EA.
