MLB '08: The Show (Playstation 3)

I never give games an excellent unless they are hard, fun and can`t put it down, or just plain very good. Yes the graphics are great, but the real challenge is from 07 to 08 is "The Road to the Show". In 07 you can make it to the Majors in 2, or 3 hours. In this game I played for 4 days and still didn`t even get called up to triple A. I even went to 'Game Ceats" on how to make it. The game itself is like madden football. Great all around. This baseball game is the best I have played. I have not played 09, but I will. This game you should pick up for no more then $18.00.

MLB 08 The Show is an amazing game, with a realistic feel, and great graphics. It has great broadcasting presentations, and dynamite gameplay. He know when you have hit a homer'!!! You can make great definsive plays, and hit the ball 600 feet, you can edit the rosters and the players, you can make A-Rod awesome, or you can make him horrible!!! Do whatever, but this game is the BOMB!!!

The game is a baseball simulation in which, depending on the gameplay mode, the player controls one or all of the players on a Major League Baseball team or some select Minor League Baseball teams. Depending on the gameplay mode, the player may control a team for a single game, season, or franchise, and can also create a player and control his career.

Its play on the field is where MLB 08 shines the most. Everything--the pitching, hitting, fielding, animations, and atmosphere--is sublime. Hitting is similar to what it was last year. You can guess pitch type and location, and are rewarded with a red indicator just before the ball is delivered if you guess correctly. There are two swing types: power and contact. Initially you may find yourself swinging at every pitch with a power swing, but you'll quickly find that picking the proper swing for each situation is paramount to your success as a hitter. What MLB 08 really gets right about hitting is the timing; there's just enough time between when the ball is released and when it gets to the plate to determine what kind of pitch it is and if it's a ball or a strike. This might sound insignificant, but it's something very few baseball games get right. From frozen ropes to ground-rule doubles to seeing-eye grounders, there's an incredible variety of hits, and what's more, they all come off the bat naturally, which is yet again an area in which other baseball games have difficulty.

Instead of adding new content or reinventing the wheel, the developers at SCEA San Diego refined things they were already doing right, and in the process made a great game even better. Hitting, pitching, and fielding all look and feel fantastic. There's no shortage of ways to stay busy, whether you want to run a whole team, follow the career of a single player, or manage a game from the dugout. It's a shame that, even after another year in development, Road to the Show isn't quite as refined as the game's other aspects, but it's still an interesting mode that generally manages to be enjoyable in spite of its flaws. If you're looking for a great baseball game that covers all the bases, look no further than MLB 08: The Show.

I love it because it is baseball. It is the best baseball game for all systems/consoles and is a must buy for all baseball fans who play videogames.

Awesome game is way better than 07 cant wait for 09 The graphics are great and the gameplay has'nt changed from the other games so it made it easy to get right into it and play

This is the most realistic baseball game i've ever played!!!!
I Recommend it to any baseball fan!
The pitching looks so real.
The hittin, running and throwing looks like you're watchig ESPN!
GREAT GREAT GREAT GAME!

The best baseball game i have ever played. best graphics, most realistic looking animations. The gameplay is as closest to baseball then any other baseball game out there. Also road to the show is the best game mode

THE BEST BASEBALL GAME FOR THE PS3!!!!

Great graphics, sound and gameplay. Very detailed, makes you feel like you're running a real team and really a part of the game! A lot of controller commands, but after a few games, no problem.

The MLB '08 the show is awesome, graphics are great - really looks like a real High Definition telecast of a live Baseball Game. I highly recommend this game and to really get the full benefits, a High Definition TV and sound system with Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound should be your standard equipment.

If you're like me, you probably read all the reviews before buying a baseball game for this year. I did - and they all pointed to MLB 08 The Show. Now, I know why. The game is just so fluid smooth with no noticeable lag and the graphics are just beautiful. This game is almost perfect. The only noticeable flaw is the collision mechanics. You see baserunners slide right through the 2nd baseman or shortstop.

The AI creates some pretty realistic scores and games, keeping things exciting. Hhopefully, my skills don't get so good that I just homer everything later on...as for now, Veteran mode is pretty good. This is a great game and the best sports game I've played this year.

The seller shipped the item very quickly. When i recieved the item it was wrapped in plastic like a brand new game u buy at the store. The disc was clean with no scratches or damage marks. By the way this was a used item and had been played many times before. The seller was great and the item was amazing.

its a very good game. i enjoy it very much. the seller was very good & sent on right on time. the game has great grafects

I am very happy with the PS# video game (MLB 08) The Show.

The game arrived as described and plays great.

Its a great baseball game including very good graphics and very good play by play announcing.

Very realistic game, sold my 360 and bought a ps3 for the bluray, but also for The Show franchise, I love this game.

I love baseball. Always played MVP on PS2, so I thought it was time for something new. I like it alot, still have to adjust to the gameplay, but overall awesome game.

this is an all around great mlb game, but i cant give it a top rating due to a lack of including Home Run Derby...

The shipping was fast price was right. Thanks again and I would do business with them again.: ).................................................................

I bought mlb 08 five weeks ago and played it that awesome. I love it because watched baseball as played video game mlb 08.

I love this game. My favorite part is the Road to the Show feature. It's somewhat realistic but it's fun to build yourself up. Another fun part in the Road to the Show feature is the advancement periods. It's weird though you could get all of the goals in 7 advancement periods in a row and you still wouldn't go to the next level of play as in AA or AAA. The only thing I don't like is when you simulate in Franchise mode. The computer spends so much money especially when you need the money. Franchise mode is still fun though. It's great to trade away players for better players. I have the best rotation in the game with Sabathia, Santana, Webb, Hamels, and Arroyo. I don't necessarily like playing as my farm teams, but it's cool to have that feature if you like the AA or AAA teams. You can do a lot of things to help you achieve your goals in Franchise Mode whether it's focusing your scouts on certain players or using all of your training points. It's a very good game, and I recommend it 100%.

Okay lets start this off by saying I really hate how bad the PS3 is doing and well I was going to sell it on Ebay, but not no more. I purchased this game and well it is amazing. The graphics of this game are some of the best. The game play is also amazing with updated rosters it is great. I played through the Road to the show for about 4 seasons and well I have to say that it is really fun to see your created player playing in the world series. Overall this is a must buy. I know 09 is out now but if your looking for a cheap alternative buy this game.

Pros:
-Graphics are amazing
-Updated Rosters
-Road to the Show is a great Game play mode

Cons:
-Not many at all but the one thing that I found over time is that players to tend to make errors that shouldn't have been made and that there are some bugs with players going for the ball. But dont worry about these they dont always happen I played through four seasons and I maybe encountered these problems around 10 times.

I was doing a lot of research about this game, and was also considering buying the 2009 version. But this game exceeds all my expectations, its smooth and addictive. Would recommend to any gamer.

GREAT GAME!!!! GREAT GRAPHICS!!!!! FUN TO PLAY!!!!! HAD TO GET IT FOR MY 9 YR OLD!!!!! HE IS PLAYING BALL FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR!!!!

Fun game play and easy to navigate. Not too different from 09, so this a choice that may be good for the money
