Editorial Reviews:

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

User Comments about the MLB 08: The Show

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.

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 enjoyed this game a lot. 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.

The level of depth in this is really awesome and it's truly addictive. The graphics are crisp and the controls are easy to use. This is a great baseball game for the PSP. 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. I am so glad I made this purchase, you will not be disappointed.

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

The Show is, which is awesome. Great game for baseball fans on the go. The power save feature is fantastic. It doesn't seem to get stale. The game looks great for the PSP, PS2 quality imo. What's great about this game.

A lot of psp games, really aren't pick up and play games. The worst part for me is during RTHS it's hard to see the ball at first if you play the infield.

I can't actually play it on the go. I've been playing this game for months, and it still has me coming back for more.

So reaction can be a little bit slow. It runs smooth most of the time.

I don't have to turn on the game, and remember what I was doing. It only takes a few minutes to get into a game, and if I don't finish, no worries.

This game offers plenty of modes, although I'm dissappointed there isn't a franchise mode. Overall this game provides me with endless hours of fun on the go, anytime, anywhere.
