i don't own a ps3 however i have had the privilege to play the most realistic baseball sim ever, mlb 09 the show... being new at the game i didn't grasp the controls well for the first few innings. eventually i pwned my friend 3 out 4 games... beginner's luck? probably... any way if u don't have ps3 u should probably get one n if u do u need this game... this game is definitely great!
