Almost but terrible controls suck!!!
User Rating: 4.5 | MLB 08: The Show PS3
MLB 08 The Show is the newest in the series. This is terrible,i haven't played previous versions but this game just sucks,even for twenty bucks. The controls are very hard to learn,especially when the booklet gives you no help or control help and there is no tutorial at all. Learning how to pitch is the worst. After about an hour of trying to figure out how the pitching worked,i just gave up and pressed the button randomly, hopefully getting a good pitch. Also,when you do finally hit the ball,batting is difficult also, you can't even control your player running to the base,its run by CPU,only the outfielders can be controlled. Baseball games are very difficult to make but it could be much better than this. The best thing about this game is the graphix. They are beautiful even though its not 1080p,though it does say 1080p on the box, it only supports 720p output,like most PS3 games,it only says 1080p so people who have TV's that only output 1080p won't be worried,so its kinda false advertising. The menus are terrible though. There are like four different screens and then a sub-menu on the bottom which is very confusing and probably adds something to the game which is completely useless. But overall this game is uber boring with really nothing that makes it exciting or fun because there's only a certain level of control in any baseball game which makes you feel like your only playing half the game and the rest is just all CPU controlled making it really boring and not even worth 20 bucks used from gamefly,i immediately sold on eBay. So not really worth it.
