Umpire Personalities - Providing even more realism to the diamond with unique tendencies and animations

Home Run Derby - Lets gamers pick the lineup and set the rules for the traditional homerun contest of Major League All-Stars
Season Mode -Tests the true baseball fan's commitment and allows them to make a run for consecutive rings with multiple seasons

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.

Great Baseball game for the PSP

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!!

Great Basseball

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.

Great Baseball on the Go!

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.

BEST BASEBALL GAME YET

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
