This is a great game, but there are cons. The overall game is realistic but there are some weird drawbacks to the game. For instance, many of the players pitching and batting stances are wrong. I felt that they could've a little more time to nit-pick and perfect the game instead of cutting corners. For instance, Chad Durbin, and Ryan Madson's pitching stances are wrong and Aaron Rowand's stance is wrong. And Greg Dobbs. and in this game there are weird glitches like one time the ball rolled under the wall in foul territory and the hitter got an inside-the-park home run! it got me mad! and there is no minor-leagues! they just have inactive rosters which gets me annoyed because they dont have great prospects like Carlos Carrasco or Jason Jaramillo or Lou Marson. Overall though it's a great game just is annoying to a finesse guy

This game is awesome. I bought this game a couple of months ago a I cant stop playing this game especially road to the show. The stadiums are almost right psp game. The problem is online play. First the ball is late to the plate and the swings are not even timed right with the ball. The players are also messed up many line ups are wrong the height of playes is wrong. But what saves this is road to the show. Ive played this game mode for two months and it is highly addictive. Even when youve played for hours youre always trin to each the next grading period to see if you got promoted. So great game if youre like baseball and like taking one player fom his start of his caeer to the end.

This is easily the best baseball game for Psp. It has fantastic graphics in my eyes and the season play is very addicting mainly just because im a big fan of baseball. One thing... the The Show mode is a little overratted, it is because if you are a pitcher espicially you dont get to play but every like week. Also you automaticly get to be a starter in the majors pretty much. Also the players are slightly overly ranked. Someone you dont even know will be like amazingly awesome!!! Other than that this game is the best. I play like every day. get it.

Greatest baseball game from Sony

The whole game is amazing. It is a great experience, and I love the option to turn on and off the view for when you are batting and for pitching. The only bad thing is the pixely graphics and the long loading time. I mean, it is like the longest loading time in a game that has been made for a long while, but on the brighter side, it is the second best baseball game, in my opinion, ever made!

This game is definately worth buying and everybody who like baseball should. It has great new features like downloading your own soundtrack and online play. It is truly awesome. Thoe only thing I didnt like is the batting. It was a little difficult and i would buy this game if ure usually not a good hitter in baseball games. Overall, AWESOME!

Awesome game to play. Hours go by without you knowing when playing this cause your so involved in it. I like how you have to build your guy up to the majors and you don't start off as a stud already and dominate. More realistic which is what I perfer.
