Ryan Howard star of The Show

wow im stupid for puting it twice... whoops

martyman19828 you are just sore my man J-Roll won MVP. Go Phils

"Howard on the cover? really? Also, baseball isn't just about power...200 k's and .268 average? I'd rather see holliday who batted .340...now thats baseball." martyman19828 you are just sore my man J-Roll won MVP. Go Phillies

this totally owns 2k sports baseball games

SWEET I AM LOKKIN FORWARD TO THIS GAME I OWN ALL MLB THE SHOW GAMES I BET THIS ONE WILL BE AWESOME

I'll be playing this online when it comes out, so everyone look for me

ryan howard nailed 58 home run 148RBI and batted .288 in his second year to win MVP. he only start for half season for his rockies year when all star Jim thomes injured and still managed to slam 28 HR, and win roockie of the year. plus he only make 145k a year compare to $10+millions of other player. i dont think anyone deserve it more than him.

I'm glad that Sony is sharing the love all the way across the current PlayStation line (all three systems). I wonder what features will be lost or added on each version of the game. (I'm hard pressed to think they'll all be functionally equivalent.)

highbolts - they're talking about the "home run" pose, not Manny Ramirez's stance.

Thats manny ramirez guys. 24 for the Red Sox know your facts. Red Sox wear white at home so notice the jersey's before you post.

"nklslinde21 and Gamespot are both wrong. The player shown in the screen shot is David Ortiz, aka "Big Pappi". Ryan Howard plays for the Phillies and the screen shot is of Fenway Park, the location of the Boston RedSox" personally i dont remember the last time ortiz batted right handed or wore number 24. Howard on the cover? really? Also, baseball isn't just about power...200 k's and .268 average? I'd rather see holliday who batted .340...now thats baseball.

If you like baseball games and own a 360. Get a PS3 this game is going to be amazing

Yeah, that screenshot is Manny Ramirez. Howard and Papi are both left handed hitters.

I love Howard but they should of put Jimmy Rollins. The guy can hit, run the bases and is one of the best SS in the game. He is The Show.

I can't believe they had the stones to state his batting average.

Look out The Show pitchers, it's the worst contact hitter in baseball!

Manny Ramirez's number is 24

MLB 07 was too great. One of the best baseball sims around and Im totally getting this year's

I still burning the hell out of my MLB 07: The Show for my PSP. I'm in my 10th season in my career mode & I won't stop playing it till 08 comes out. Was the PS3 version any good? If I pick up a PS3 this year, I might want MLB 08 for it.

The only relevant star of baseball right now is HGH. What a gas to see that on the cover of this game!

Good pick, i can't wait until The Show

Easlily last years best baseball game. Looking forward to this season. This game also should have been at least nominated this year for best sports game.

that pic above is manny ramirez! dumb-asses!

tight. cant waitfor the best mlb game

Looks like they forgot to mention this guy led the league in K's last year.

ok heres something i dont understand, i know he has 47 homeruns sure, but he struck out 200 times this season, thats a new record for most strikeout in a season, why put a guy that did that bad, now i would like to see a player from the west cost, i mean its been an east coast player for the last 4 or 5 years now, or maybe put a pitcher on the cover, like fransisco rodriguez, or john lacky, trevor hoffman, jason shmit, someone, i dont even care if it was a-rod, he actually did something this season, 50 some homers, not freakin 200 strikeouts in a season, i'm an angels fan, and i dont like the yankees, hell, i hate them, but put someone that actually did the most this season, or jimmy rollins, put an mvp on the cover, or a record setter, and not one that sets records that you dont want, LIKE STRIKEOUTS IN A SEASON FOR A BATTER , seriously, no disrespect to the east coast, but its always the yankees, red sox, mets all around that area, when was the last time they put a west coast team player on the cover, someone please answer that, whatever, hopefully next year it'll be a better player, now dont get me wrong, ryan howard's a good player, but he strikesout alot

This will be my first PS3 Baseball game, can't wait! From what I have heard about this game in past, it seems like I will enjoy it a TON.

a-rod is a punk. they got the right guy

No disrespect to Ryan Howard but how about the flashiest player in baseball? A-Rod should have been on the cover.

Since I started playing " The Show" a couple years ago, I believe it's the most complete and realistic baseball sim. This will be a release day purchase for me. Go Cubbies!!

I love The Show and I love the Braves... which is why it's a bitter-sweet feeling that, for a second year in a row, they pick one of our team's cover rivals. Oh well...

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to finally have a fresh, young, STEROID FREE player on the cover of a sports title...

hmm, I'm no baseball fan but hear these games are good and fun

arod would have been cool...

Ryan Howard is a great choice for a cover athlete. He's young, powerful, productive, and a great person all around. I like this pick, and I hope this game as well as Ryan do well over the next year.

Well he deserves it I guess.

YAY!! Ryan Howard is a monster

Nice choice. Ryan is a monster.

sweet, someone from my fav. team is finally going to be on a cover. Too bad my PS2 is broken.

two young nl east players in a row... maybe francoeur will make the cover next year

Nice that another athlete from my hometown is again gracing a game cover...now if only one of our teams can actually win a championship.
