So I went against my earlier post and bought the game. For those fellow Canadians who are having trouble finding a copy in your respective cities the only store that sells it is Microplay. I found a message board on the net talking about this problem and it suggested Microplay. I gave them a call and sure enough they had it, in fact they carry all of the NCAA titles. The down side is you have to overpay for the product with it being $49.99 instead of the suggested $34.99 Canadian.
As for the game itself it's very fun. The new hitting takes some time to get used to but once you do you'll never be able to go back. The create-a-ballpark feature isn't as good as I had hoped but I only played with it for a few minutes. The ESPN integration is really cool with the 20 at 20 updates and such. All in all I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend the game to those who are die hard baseball fans or college baseball fans, though being a fan of college baseball probably classifies you as a die hard. If you are casual fan I'd stay away since you won't be able to relate to any of the teams, players, stadiums or the dynasty mode.
I score it 8 out of 10.
