Synopsis

Synopsis
They duck into the dugout as mere mortals, cleated, capped and humming with anticipation. But as the National Anthem echoes across the stadium, the lights blaze into life and the umpire squats behind the plate, something changes. Players become legends, the embodiments of what it means to seek glory. Baseball is not just a pastime — it's the epic saga that holds all of America in its grasp. Do you have what it takes to step up to the plate and claim your stake in baseball history?

Each year, only one MLB team earns the title of a champion. Each year, only one sports game scores the highest ratings in the world. That game is The Show. Calling you off the bench with ultrarealistic gameplay, intense season-long campaigns and the nitty-gritty details of the MLB experience, the highest-rated sports video game has forever revolutionized the way you see America's pastime — and it's about to do it again on the PlayStation Vita. Immerse yourself in gameplay that goes deeper than ever before in MLB 12: The Show. The latest generation of the gaming phenomenon takes you the closest you can get to real-life, game-day action, with innovative new features never before seen in a sports game. Discover if you have the endurance and the skills to make it to the top in authentic Franchise and Season modes that bring the rigors of Major League Baseball to life, or forge intense team rivalries with your friends in multiplayer challenges. Continue your Season, Franchise and Road to the Show at home — or on the go — with cross-platform saves between your PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. Get up off the bench — The Show is back on.

Excellent game for my grandson
5
Posted by: from Maurepas, LA on 01/25/2013I bought this game for my grandson for Christmas. He is an avid gamer and loves the ball games. Since Christmas, he has not stopped playing the game. He loves it. The reason I bought it is because it is safe and I don't have to worry about blood and guts. It shows people playing sports, not people killing other people.

Best Baseball game in a handheld
5
Posted by: from Bixby, OK on 01/19/2013I'm not a big baseball fan but am def' big into sports in general. I like the RPG aspects of building up your character and turning them into a great MLB player over the course of years from AAA up to The Show. Great graphics, great gameplay and best of all it has Cross Play so you can play it on the go and then pick back up where you left off on your PS3 or vice versa!!

Fantastic Graphics.

Posted by: from Atlanta, GA on 08/29/2012Plays exactly like it does on the PS3. Extremely good graphics. Have not tried to sync up the PS3 and Vita yet so can not comment on that feature.

Not typically a baseball game fan, but...
5
Posted by: from Dallas, TX on 07/11/2012Not typically a baseball game fan, but this is one of the best kinds of games to play on the Vita. I highly recommend this, Hot Shots Golf, and Wipeout. I'll be picking up FIFA soon, and I can't wait to get my hands on NBA2K and Madden if and when they become available. Just pick up this game already! Don't forget to try out the "Road to the Show" game mode where you create a player and start in the minors working you way up, so much fun!

Great Game for hardcore and casual baseball fans
5
Posted by: from Nashua, NH on 04/19/2012The game looks, plays, and controls great for a portable game. Full Franchise and Season modes are available, as well as options to run a fantasy draft. I'm really enjoying the multiple games modes and the gameplay is tight as ever and easy to use!

Play uploaded saves from PS3 - best baseball game!
5
Posted by: from Midland, MI on 04/11/2012Game is great. Everything is there. The Road to the Show (RttS) is great. You can fly through seasons and customize how much you want to play your player. Hands down... best part... you can upload your gamesaves from the PS3 version and continue them on the Vita version. This has always been my issue with portable sports games. I didn't want to play 2 different teams/seasons/etc. This completely resolves the problem!!! Commentary gets old VERY QUICK. Especially when you are playing RttS. They announce you and say the same things over and over while you are batting. I recommend turning it off and replacing it with a custom playlist of music you have stored on your PS3. Because of this, I gave the audio a 4/5. You can also customize crowds, walkup music, etc. Pretty much anything you can think of. Graphics are amazing. You can play with almost the same identical controls as the PS3. The sliders seemed accurate between both the Vita and PS3 version.

Great
5
Posted by: from Denver on 04/04/2012Great game. Graphics and presentation can't be beat by any competitor. Only thing I can say is bad is that I suck at this game. I'm impatient and just want to swing at every pitch. So if your like me probably not a good idea. This is the King of all Baseball Sims either on your ps3 or vita you can't go wrong here. Simulating thru games is very simple and fast with the new game cards. I recommend this to any baseball fan
