A Great Game with A Few Flaws
User Rating: 8.5 | MLB 09: The Show PSP
MLB 09 The Show for PSP is a very good game. The graphics are nice, it sounds very good, and the gameplay is alright. Hitting, pitching, and fielding all work fine, although in one of the minor league ballparks, there's a place in foul ground that the wall surrounds you in all but one side, meaning if you try to throw someone out tagging at home, they're going to score no matter what you do. The New Baserunning System is crap, especially on the RTTS mode. Going forward and backwards switch around at random times, making baserunning a pain. The season mode is fun and includes arbitration, free agency, compensation picks, etc. RTTS mode is fine too. They also have the options to skip baserunning, fielding, and shorten teammate's at-bats, making getting through a career faster. For some reason online mode doesn't work at home, so I can't go online.
