MLB 08: The Show for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Pros:

-- Hands down the best presentation of any baseball game made to this day (maybe sports game period).

-- Pitcher/Batter interface is excellent with superb controls on both ends.

-- Option to save your game in the middle of it is an excellent addition and way overdue.

-- Amount of in-game options is staggering for any game much less a sports game.

-- Graphics from player models to ballparks and everything in-between are second to none.

-- Amount of little details that add to realism are fantastic. For instance, you cant paint the same corner on every pitch and umps will make some questionable calls on borderline pitches both ways.

Cons:

-- There are some glitches in the fielding. Most noticeably with balls hit to the outfield. For example a fielder may look as if he is going to make the catch 10 feet before the wall but the ball actually drops in front of the wall or hits it (screwed up my base running a few times).

-- There are times when you will want to release the ball(while fielding) a little sooner and said fielder will take his little time.

-- Also fielder switching at times can be frustrating and you end up missing the ball by a step more than you would like.

Overall however the pros so far outweigh the cons that those little fielding graphical glitches (that im sure will be fixed with an update anyway) dont detract you from wanting to play this game. I really wanted to give it a 10 but couldnt bring myself to do it considering the few problems it does have and this is coming from a casual baseball fan at best. Enjoy, its worth the time.
