It has the quality and presentation of a high end PS2 game while being portable. In addition to the solid baseball, there is the Road to the Show mode in which you create your player and guide them through the important parts of their career (essentially ABs and defensive plays they are involved with.It is in the Road to the Show mode that some of the control quirks become more irritating.
This is managable after a few games, but for that first bit, it is incredibly irritating to try and turn a double play and throw home instead.Despite these flaws, it delievers a solid package of baseball which won't disappoint you. He'll stop and stutter for seemingly no reason, this leads to more than your fair share of pickoffs and baserunning mistakes.
While baserunning in fairly intuitive in a regular game, when you control your man in the career mode, it is a chore. Further complicating matters is the fielding controls which switch viewpoints and then the buttons required to throw to a certain base.
MLB 08 the show is really a remarkable game. For anyone who has played almost any DS sports game, you know just how dreadful portable sports gaming can be.It has a solid season mode which goes up to 162 games and allows full control, right down to mound visits and bullpen warmups.
They will also occasionally run right through the base and continue to go, even if there is no reason to.
Im glad I purchased it. This has been a great game. The game got to me very quickly and in great condition.
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.
I already have it for the ps2, but i wanted to take it on the road with me. Other than that this is an amazing game. I enjoyed this game a lot. The graphics are great for such a small disc.The only downside is the fact that there is no fantasy draft or franchise mode.
I am so glad I made this purchase, you will not be disappointed. 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. This is a great baseball game for the PSP. The graphics are crisp and the controls are easy to use. The level of depth in this is really awesome and it's truly addictive.
