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

 BEST BASEBALL GAME YET June 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
MLB 08 for the PSP is a very fun and exciting game. One thing that is great about this game is that when you play homerun derby it is alot easier to hit homeruns then it is in the other baseball games. For example in MLB 06 the game you have to time it perfectly hit a homerun and it can get really annoying. But in this game, all you have to do is wait till the ball comes to you and then hit it and usually it will be a homerun. Also the gameplay in this game is great because the contorls are easy and it makes the game very fun. The graphics on the other are the greatest I have ever seen because the people stil look like dots and the character models coul be better. But overall I think this game is great and fans that like baseball games should defenately get this game so I am giving it a 4/5

Great game with just one glitch March 27, 2008

The game itself is great. I just have one small problem that creates a big problem during the gameplay. When you perform a double switch it freezes the game. Now, let me go into farther depth on that. It will not freeze when you pinch hit for the pitcher and then bring in another pitcher for that pitchers spot. It will however freeze when you pinch hit for the pitcher and then leave the pinch hitter in the game at a different position and sub a new pitcher in for the spot the pich hitter was taking (hope this doesn't confuse anybody). That has happened to me twice in the late innings, The first time was fine, but I was hoping that the next time I did it that it was a one time thing, but it wan not. I make sure that I dont leave the pich hitter in anymore. Overall though, it is a really good game.
Nice game, but does not earn the five star ratings... here is why.. March 22, 2008

don't get me wrong, the game is dam good, I would'nt think this good on your hand held psp, the game designers came threw in the clutch.. the gameplay is smooth there are tons of options to adjust the gameplay to customize things to fit your likings... I had to change the pitching mode to classic, because it is so darn hard to line up the marker with the pitch meter..
here is why I didn't give it the full five stars; the guys are a bit disconfigured... they are huge, like Mark McGwire used to be which is unrealistic, the bats are huge and the hitting isn't that smooth either...
but that is all I have to complain about, not really complaining just giving my justification why I wouldnt consider it a full out great game... but like I said the game is awesome, and gamers will get hours of enjoyment playing it, I know I am.
One of the best baseball video game series. March 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have played the series since 2006, and it seems that every one improves greatly. For example, this game has in depth pitch analysis, and instead of just hurling any pitch to the batter, you have to pick a pitch, then locate it, but it's not always a automatic strike. Also, There is this fun option in Season mode where you can ignore the budgets and restraints on teams, and just get a all star team for fun, That's what I have done, and it is sure fun to steal from the other teams. It's fun for a while, but eventually it gets boring having the all star team. Also, finally accurate positions for the players. The 2006 had everything old, and it was a decent game, but it sucked. Also, the cover star Ryan Howard is one of the most perfect ball players, and is hard as hell to strike out. But, some of the players abilities are exaggerated, for instance, Virgilio Ordenez isn't that good as the game makes him out to be. Plus, The other options are lacking. Overall, it is a fun game that I will keep buying every time there is a new version out.
