RTTS is very addicting. After each game you just wanna play another one just to get your stats and skill points up.

There isn't much of a difference between the 08 and 07 version, but this one just looks MUCH more realistic. Road to the Show is very addicting. If you're a fan of baseball, this game mode can keep you playing for hours. Literally for, as in FOUR, hours. I've done it. I'll finish a game and then just want to play another one, just to get my stats and skill points up. Sometimes you'll get into little slumps (well, I did) and want to try to hit your way out of it. The only frustrating part was the beginning to RTTS. They start you in the minors, and depending on how well you do, you could be there for 2-3 full seasons. But this "unfortunate" thing actually makes you want to play it more so you can work your way up to The Show....the majors.

So yeah, the gameplay and graphics are cool. It offers difficulty levels that work well for beginners and experts. Hall of fame mode offers a very realistic life-like gameplay, and is challenging which makes it fun.

Now online play, it's pretty cool and competitive (sometimes ;)), but there is a bit of a lag problem. I don't know if it's just MY internet connection, but when that lag stuff starts happening, it sucks. It messes you and your opponent up and isn't any fun at all. But other then that, it's pretty cool.

So I highly recommend this game. I know it's after baseball season already, and that MLB 09 will probably come out, but MLB 08 was very impressive and is a game EVERY baseball fan should at least try out.
