To start off the game has great graphics as most PS3 games have. Online play is a bit tricky and slow especially during the day with a slow DSL connection. But thats partly due to Playstation's free network. Regular season mode can be a bit frustrating as it involves managing the franchise. Keeping up with advertising, stadium, fans, concession stands, etc is truly too much for someone just looking to play. There is no home-run derby or any other sort of head to head skill challenges. I still give this game a 8 out of 10. Great graphics, controls are easy, and a wide variety of options to control your team.
I've always been a fan of baseball games and this title certainly does not disappoint. It does have some rather long load times, but other than that the game is incredible. With several different modes to go through, the replay value cannot be beat. The graphics are very life-like, and the controls are fairly easy to master. Highly recommend this game to anyone.
So far Ive only played the road to the show, and its very enjoyable. The commentators never get old unlike some other games (Madden) where you want to rip your hair off and tell them to be quiet. The action is also very realistic and a lot of fun. The only issue I saw is that sometimes on Road to the Show it seems that if you have a, this hitter will struggle to hit .250, the A.I. seems to get really tough to ensure you remain close to that .250. I might be delusional but after hitting .340 my player went cold turkey and couldnt get a hit no matter where I hit it. Besides all that it is an amazing game, closest to reality in any game Ive ever played.
This game is so much fun to play. The Show gets more realistic every year and 09 took some big jumps from 08. The Road to the Show is so much better and faster to go through and play nearly a month of baseball in an hour or two. I would definitely suggest this game to anyone who loves sports. I think this game got me back into the sport of baseball. I will continue to buy this game as it continues to get better in the coming years.
I never played the MLB the show series on PS3, only on the PSP. I got to say that the graphics on the game are unbelievable!! Especially on the PS3. You can play online with other players around the world with the sport connection. Build your own player and get drafted and work your way up to The Show. Overall, a great game to play if you are a baseball fan.
