Product Description
MLB 08 THE SHOW is set to provide fans with the most realistic baseball experience to date with innovations such as a more immersive Road to The Show mode, enabling gamers to play both offense and defense from the created player's perspective. Providing players with some additional performance incentives, the MLB franchise introduces the Progressive Batting Performance feature, which will both reward players for superior performance and penalize them for hitting slumps. Specific to each individual batter, players will be rewarded with slight contact bonuses, or punished with slight decreases in contact, based on how that batter performs beyond his "natural ability." MLB 08 THE SHOW introduces SCOUT (SportsConnect Online User Tracking), which allows you to set and store your game preferences on the MLB server, and enables the system to look for a Quick Match with opponents that fits similar competitive criteria. Exhibition Mode/Quick Game - Gamers can select their favorite team and compete against the AI for a quick game on the go Historical Greats - Offers Historical Greats, giving them the opportunity to go against the legends of the past Release Point Pitching with Confidence Meter - The ultimate pitcher/batter interface returns Playmaker Fielding- The fielding interface brings the player attributes together with the user's skill level Ad Hoc Mode - Allows two or more PSP systems to communicate directly with each other via Wi-Fi connectivity for regional/local multiplayer gameplay Infrastructure Mode - Allows gamers to link to a network via a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point or hot spot for multiplayer gameplay across the nation

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!

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!!

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.


5 out of 5 stars Great Baseball on the Go!   July 9, 2008

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.
