Best Baseball Game of The Decade!
PostedApril 10, 2009
Mlb:09 the Show brings you the closest thing to real baseball out there... They fixed many errors from last year ( No more home runs that never touch the bat or catches that left us wondering, how'd they do that?) My favorite thing is Road to The Show 3.0 which is really challenging. The new Legend difficulty is extremely challenging and is only for the most experienced player. The graphics are probably the best of any handheld game ever made and the faces and bodies are way better of that of '07 and '08. As far as the controls go, the pitching meter takes a bit to get used to for the new MLB The Show gamer and the batting controls are crystal clear. They've added over a hundred new animations that are really cool and interesting. Player updates and team updates are really easy to preform and you basically only have to update one a week to get all the transactions from that week. Overall, this game is well worth the buy for the gamer needing baseball and portable gaming. so if you have the 40$ to spend, buy this game! It is well worth the buy.

Not the best but still a great game
PostedApril 7, 2009
The first thing that gets me mad is that it takes a while to load. In the PS2 and PS3 version it takes half as long than on the PSP. Besides that i really like the game. I am really into The Road to the Show. It is a lot harder than in the one in 07. And if you are not a starder it is tough to complete your goals. I also find that it is harder to pitch than in the PS2 or 3 versions. It is the meter which is kind of blury which throws me off. Some of the all-stars who became free agents in the winnter but joined a team are not yet on their team. Example is Manny R. is a free agent even though he signed a one year deal with the Dodgers. So what i like to do is make a roster than save it. Next put the players on the team they are on, after save it. Then when you go to play a game the players will be on their correct team. It is the best baseball game for the PSP so if you love baseball i think you should get this game

Best MLB game money can buy!!!
PostedMarch 5, 2009
This game is just awesome! I bought the game when it came out two days ago. I had been waiting for it for quite some time. They have made some pretty good improvements to the game since '08 the show such as improved batting stances. The fielding looks more realistic and no longer has those impossible catches that kept us all wondering? The intro is also good in how it talks about the great position players. But the main thing i think i like about it is the fact that it is more challenging than '08 the show. I haven't played road to the show yet but i'll get to that eventually. I currently have spring training going right now with the Oakland Athletics. I'm sucking right now because i'm 0-6 but hey that challenge is what i've always been looking for in a game. This is a must buy game!
