9.0	Presentation Whether it’s the camera angles that highlight a park, the presentation of the passage of time during a game or the inclusion of lifelike mascots, The Show presents a wonderful park experience
9.0	Graphics Lots of new animations and cutscenes as well as character models and parks make this a large improvement over last year. However, old problems still dull the shine of the visuals.
9.0	Sound Custom music and chants are truly great, especially if you want to create your own razzing of opposing players and teams before your star player walks to the plate with your personal theme song.
8.5	Gameplay While the updating of some fielding controls makes the game a bit more realistic, it also reveals a number of problems, some of which have yet to be solved from two years ago.
8.5	Lasting Appeal Road to the Show and Franchise mode are great and made quite a bit deeper. Stat tracking issues and laggy online play still keep this game held back, however.
8.7 Great	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

Closing Comments
The Show has, once again, shown how it's one of the best and most consistent sports franchises out there, delivering solid baseball gameplay and an even deeper set of gameplay features. While there are some updates to fielding and some enhancements to Franchise, Road to the Show and Online, some of issues cropped up within the game and kept it from becoming truly phenomenal. However, as a intermediate step towards MLB 10: The Show, this is definitely a game that baseball fans should buy.

it's an awesome score considering they just gave to MLB:2K9 6.8/10 .

I used to love baseball games but lost interest in recent years
thank u Sony (again) for making me fall in love with it all over again

I hate baseball games, but damn thats nice, and isnt this PS3 exclusive?

^^it's playstation exclusive

meaning PS3,PS2,PSP.

but PS3 was reviewed here

great for fans of the sport

I only like football (and I mean the real FOOTBALL)

This is the first baseball game I've enjoyed since MVP Baseball 2K5.

It's exclusive to Sony platforms because the game is made by Sony, 2K Sports has a contract with MLB so that they're the only company that can make third-party MLB games, somewhat like how EA has an exclusive contract with the NFL to make NFL games. So the better game franchises for each sport isn't able to make their game.

...

The trophies in this game seem hard to get.

Yes it is!!!

Nice Score!!!

Was gonna post this, but I thought no one would really care since it's a sports game.

I have a feeling this will be overshadowed because of Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5 next week.

I watched a guy lament (to his girlfriend, who didn't seem to care lol) over not owning a PS3 last nite, due to this game, while I was pondering buying X-Blades at full price. He bought MLB 2K9 for his 360 instead.

Too bad, for Sony, that the sentiment over the game didn't turn into a sale of a system. That one year headstart really gave MS a huge boost IMO, and does, to this day.
