The game was a great next installment in Sony's MLB The Show series. The rosters were extremely accurate, showing trades all the way up to the start of spring training. The graphics kind of looked like they took the last game and changed a few things. But to there defense the PS2 doesn't have the same graphics capabilities as the newer PS3. The game modes haven't changed all that much. In Create-a-Player, more batting stances and pitchers windups have been added accordingly for new players. The bright white font on the menu is kind of an eye sore so you may have to tune down the brightness on your T.V. a few notches. The gameplay is very immersive and gives you the down-to-earth experience that has been trademark of the earlier versions of the game. The announcers that do the play-by-play stay the same except for Rex Hudler who is replaced by former Dodgers first basemen Eric Karros. All in all the game is pretty much the same with a few minor changes.
