   MVP 06 NCAA Baseball Brought to you by the Makers of the Top-Selling MVP
              Franchise, Ships to Retailers Wednesday January 18

    NEW YORK, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Two top baseball players are the first
to test the newest baseball videogame on the market, MVP 06 NCAA Baseball.
Legendary pitcher Roger Clemens goes head to head with 2005 College World
Series MVP and MVP 06 NCAA Cover Athlete, David Maroul on the videogame and in
the batting cage.  Both players played out successful college careers at the
University of Texas that included NCAA Championship victories. MVP 06 NCAA
Baseball is the latest offering from the makers of the critically acclaimed
MVP Baseball franchise and celebrates everything that makes NCAA baseball
unique -- aluminum bats, dugout clearing homeruns, relentless hustle and
stadiums filled with passionate fans and school spirit.
    MVP 06 NCAA Baseball available on PlayStation 2 and X-Box, has an all-new
Load and Fire Batting system that emulates stepping up to the plate. It's the
first game to implement ESPN real-time features including an ESPN ticker and
live ESPN Sportscenter radio updates. With 128 of the nation's top teams, 19
authentic stadiums and a deep college-specific Dynasty Mode, users can now
slug it out on the "Road to Omaha" with baseball's brightest young stars.
