Crushed out of the park!

Alright, I was one of those who bought the game the first day it came out. I was also one of those who had to wait for countless delays and the uncertainty of whether or not this game was even going to get done before the next season. Well it was certainly worth the wait! If you are a fan of semi-realistic baseball sims than this is the game for you!

PROS:
1. Nice looking game with realistic ballpark representation.
2. Great gameplay controls (although I dont do the whole sixaxis thing) The baserunning is the only confusing thing.
3. realistic gameplay (you dont hit a HR every at-bat)
4. The statistic interface that you would expect from the franchise.
5. The faces of the players look very realistic....eyes are a bit spooky but better than 2K7
6. Road to the Show was an welcome addition!

CONS:
1. I have the Oakland glitch and was too lazy to return it (for those of you who dont know all the early copies of the game will not load any Oakland games played in OAKLAND at night)....Totally LAME!
2. There are a great deal of quirky glitches such as playing as the Redsox and having an opponents coach as a first base coach. I have noticed a great deal of these. They are annoying but not all together detrimental to the game.
3. Delayed almost to the point of making it pointless to make a game for this season. Sony you need to tighten up and get this game out by opening day next year!
4. Some of the players bodies like Papi's do not look very realistic but this is more for individual players and most are great.
5. Online is a bit too laggy for me! Its hard to blame the game for this though.

All in all easilly the BEST baseball game for the PS3 and a must own for any fan of the genre. This game makes 2K7 look like a pop out to the pitcher.

    After playing both MLB 07: The Show and MLB 2K7, it's evident that The Show is superior in many ways, but still, some modifications can be made. Pitching: Pitching is better in The Show than 2K7. For starters, in 2K7... Read Full Review
