Best baseball game I've ever played.

MLB 08: The Show is the best baseball game I've played. I was a big fan of the MVP series from EA and was sad when they lost their license. This game gets what that series had right and improves upon it.

The graphics are wonderful, a little better than 2K8. The player animations and plentiful and realistic. The character models look amazing. The sound and commentary are practically perfect except for a few cheesy one liners that get old after you hear it the 30th time. But that's to be expected.

The game play is great on offense and defense. It takes a while to pick up but once you get the hang of pitching, fielding and batting it is all so rewarding and fun.

The franchise mode is very detailed and the offseason activities are fun. I have not played Road to the Show mode but that's just more to do.

If you have a PS3 and like baseball get MLB 08: The Show. If you get MLB 2K8 you are just dumb. The Show is either on par or better in every category.
