Surprising that it actually went up in average with time, though it still doesn't have that many reviews included. A very good game, though I personally do not think it is quite up to being a 9+ type of title.

MLB 09 is amazing...

is this the first sports game to reach AAA, someone message me and let me know

Not even close.

And many more.

It is, however, the first "AAA" sports game this gen, which is quite an achievement. Props to Sony.

WOW! A while ago this was about 8.6 I think... ITS GONE UP!! So if this is AAA then the ps3 officially has 1 more AAA exclusive.

Why Metacritic? They use less reviews then everyone else, like gamerankings, gamestats, NG4 etc.

Honestly, I think this game has a good chance of actually staying at 90/100. Probably half the reviews are in and the overwhelming majority of those not in will probably be 90/100's.

PLAYSTATION 3 is the first system to have an exclusive AAA sports game on the system! Go Sony!

if only 2k and live (sonys basketball ball is horrible) were AAA.... and madden also

MLB 09: The Show is great. However, it is being outsold by MLB 2K9. 2K9 is garbage! People still seem to be purchasing it more though.
