Great baseball game (2008-09-17)
Great baseball game, been playing it for a while now and it gets pretty addictive... Especially the online feature, which I've had some issues lately...


Great Game (2008-09-01)
I enjoyed this game a lot. I already have it for the ps2, but i wanted to take it on the road with me. The graphics are great for such a small disc.
The only downside is the fact that there is no fantasy draft or franchise mode. Other than that this is an amazing game!


Great Baseball game for the PSP (2008-07-30)
This is a great baseball game for the PSP! The graphics are crisp and the controls are easy to use. Also it has the "road to the show" mode where you can create a player and guide him from the minors all the way to the bigs. The level of depth in this is really awesome and it's truly addictive. I am so glad I made this purchase, you will not be disappointed!!


Great Basseball (2008-07-14)
This game is really great. If your you are a fanatic of the baseball games, surely you enjoy it. The only detail is that they do not appear the Humpires and that I do not like much. For that reason, For that reason I do not give 5 stars him.


Great Baseball on the Go! (2008-07-09)
What's great about this game? I can't actually play it on the go. A lot of psp games, really aren't pick up and play games. The Show is, which is awesome. It only takes a few minutes to get into a game, and if I don't finish, no worries. The power save feature is fantastic. I don't have to turn on the game, and remember what I was doing. This game offers plenty of modes, although I'm dissappointed there isn't a franchise mode.

The game looks great for the PSP, PS2 quality imo. It runs smooth most of the time. I've been playing this game for months, and it still has me coming back for more. It doesn't seem to get stale. The worst part for me is during RTHS it's hard to see the ball at first if you play the infield. So reaction can be a little bit slow. Overall this game provides me with endless hours of fun on the go, anytime, anywhere. Great game for baseball fans on the go.

Great (2008-11-12)
Great baseball game lots of fun, still cost to much on Amazon. I picked it up for 15 dollars at target.


Best baseball game to date (2008-09-08)
This game definitively lives up to all of the hype. If you are a hard core baseball fan, love video games, this game is the way to go.

Pitching, fielding, hitting, and base running are the most realistic and fun of any other baseball game I have played. Pitching is not only pressing a button and expecting the pitch to go exactly to that spot, as with other games. In this game, the pitcher has to work to get a good feel for all his pitches. The more you use a type of pitch, and the better you get hitters out with it, the more effective it becomes. The less you use a pitch, the less effective, and harder to throw (as in real life).

Franchise mode in this game is great. You have comprehensive control including player contracts, ticket prices, vendor prices, travel costs, and even bank loans. Since most people probably can't play every game in the season, the simulation mode is pretty accurate. You can even sim through innings in the middle of a game. Playing with the Giants, they were around 30-35 after two months of the season with pretty similar stats to their actual performance this year (horrible hitting but great starting pitching).

To top it all off, graphics are excellent.


The best (2008-09-08)
I'm very picky about baseball games, but this is the best one I've ever played.


One of the best Baseball series makes its way to the PS3 (2008-09-07)
MLB 08: The Show has got all the bells and whistles you could want in a baseball game. The graphics are stunning and what you would expect from a PS3 sports title. Player models are accurate, I.E. Brandon Webb has a got a noticeably fatter body type than, the skinny Randy Johnson. The gameplay itself is great, there are a multitude of sliders you can change on top of four difficulty modes to really tune the game how you want it to be played. One problem was if none of the sliders were changed, you can get a ton of hits but only a few runs. So I've had lines like 3 runs 12 hits quite a lot. With the sliders I'm sure that this can be adjusted though.

Now on to the gameplay modes.

Franchise mode is exactly what it implies, you control everything about a team from its ticket and food prices to Double AA games that you can opt to play.

Season mode- Same as franchise except you don't control the minor leagues, or ticket prices, etc, only play the games and set the line-ups.

Manage Only Mode- You get to manage the game by watching it, and calling for hit and runs, steals, etc. This mode can also be played in your Season and Franchise.

Sportcast Simulator- This mode can only be assessed in Franchise or Season, if anyone is familiar with MLB.com Gameday, that's basically what this mode is. You can still sub players, and basic managerial moves except it goes along quite quicker than Manage Only Mode.

Road to the Show- This is the series signature career mode, where you start out as a scrub player and have to work your way to the majors. This is where the game loses some points, the series used to allow for the user to control the whole team (classic career) and now only allows the user to be their own player. So if you are a pitcher, you watch the team field. This is more realistic, however there is no reason they couldn't leave both career modes in, like MLB 07: The Show on the PS2, for those who liked it better.


Online play is the other thing that brings the game down some. The PSN service is free, however this game can lag very bad, making the online games not very enjoyable.

All in all if you like baseball this game will provide countless hours of fun, so don't hesitate to buy.


Great Game (2008-08-28)
Great Graphics! I was able to download CURRENT player roster; A feature I didn't know was available.
