MLB 06: The Show for PSP Reviews by Gamers

This is a game that baseball enthusiasts won't put down. Every game mode provides a different aspect of the game, and the homerun minigames are fun as well. Career mode is as deep as any I have seen, but I have one complaint, in that it may take too long for a player to make it to the majors, and that you cannot control the lineups for your own team, because you aren't the manager. The season mode is fun, and allows you control over everything, including each players salary. The commentating is great, and the three man booth ads another aspect to the game. The presentation, and graphics are unbelievable, and make the game interesting to anyone who puts in front of them. Overall, a great game.

Before i get to my rant, i would like to say that this is a solid game for the PSP. The controls are easy to learn and intuitive, especially the pitching , which changes speeds depending upon how many hits or runners on base there have been. The graphics are ok, but they could be better. The play-by play commentary is well done and hardly has mistakes. One problem i did find is with the outfield controls, if a ball is hit more towards right, for example, i expect the right fielder to go get it. Wrong, it ends up being the center fielder, and i run the complete wrong way. another problem is the uneven ai, your team plays like idiots, while the opposing team catches everything that goes near them. This presents my main problem, or annoyance with the game. It is utterly hard at the upper difficulties. I mean Redsocks losing to the Devil Rays hard. Another annoyance is that the game is not very on the go oriented, you cant save a game while playing, and it has some long load times. Aside from that this is a solid baseball game that any fan with a psp should check out
