MLB 07 The Show PS3

Customer Rating:
It's a very good baseball game, certainly more in-depth than Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest on the N64. However, Loud Pipes by Ratatat is the only bearable song in the game, and it wasn't super fun playing the game without music. I would recommend this to anybody that wants a baseball game on the extreme cheap; otherwise, get MLB 09 The Show or later because it supports custom soundtracks.

pretty good

A Showing in Frusteration

Customer Rating:
I bought a PS 3 and since I love baseball games I knew I had to buy one, I had the standard pick between MLB 2K7 and MLB 07' The Show. I choose The Show for no reason other than it was the first one I put my hands on, after I got it home and ogled about how great the graphics look I started to really play it and look at it. That is where the fun stopped, after I was done being wowed by the graphics. My biggest complaint is with the pitching set up, I am a meter guy... I like using the meter to throw my pitches. I didn't have any problems in 07 The Show on my PS 2, it would seem that when they ported it.. they took the pitching meter, tweaked it and made it ultra sensitive. If you don't stop the backswing of the meter right on the line (or really, really close to it)... well you might as well forget it.. it is a ball. Even if you manage to stop it right on the line sometimes it is a ball. Another gripe with the pitching, when you line up your pitch in this game... you are setting up the break point... not the finishing point. So unless you have played through it a million times and know EXACTLY how each pitcher's pitches break.. you are going to be throwing a lot of balls.. A LOT OF BALLS. It would also seem to me that the computer seems to play perfect ball even on the easiest setting and you are left playing not so perfect ball. Basically this title was a lot frustration than it was worth in my opinion but it was still somewhat fun and the graphics are amazing!!

Best Baseball Game for ps3

Customer Rating:
i initially bought 2k7 for the flashy graphics- but the horrendous framerate and joe morgan drove me away.

thank goodness this is available til the next MVP game arrives. the pitching is challenging and the batting interface is excellent. the guess pitch system makes for good, patient ABs - you might actually take a walk a couple times a game, which generally doesn't happen in video game baseball. as a pitcher you need to take care- pitches will not go exactly where you want them to. you won't be throwing no hitters right off the bat- again, another refreshing element to a baseball sim.

Can't Wait for Next Year's Version!

Customer Rating:
I don't mean that as a knock on this game, it is a compliment. This year's game was very good and was only the first next gen offering, so I can imagine how next year's will be. I just recently purchased a PS3 and this was the first game on my radar. I've been playing MLB 2K7 on the 360 until this point. Overall, this game is definitely superior. The gameplay is excellent. The presentation is very good, much like a TV broadcast. I think I was most surprised by the quality of the presentation. The graphics are certainly not as pretty as 2K7, but the animations are better and again, this is only their first next gen attempt. There are some glitches, but that is to be expected and none are so bad that they ruin the experience. At least none that I have encountered. Overall I highly recommend this game!
