anthony Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Going to buy MLB 08 The Show tomorrow for my PS3, I was wondering if anyone else had purchased it, and what they think. I read some reviews online, general consensus was it was head and shoulders better than MLB 2K8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This game is way better than MLB 2K8. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted March 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 7, 2008 MLB 07 was miles ahead of 2k7 (besides graphics) so I can only imagine this year's iteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightz Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i have it and have been playing non-stop for the past 3 days. road to the show is really addicting, and i've spent so much time on that that i haven't even had a chance to start the season mode. i love this game.

popisdead uk Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 The UK haven't got it yet, and it wouldn't surprise me if we don't as Baseball isn't big here at all - NHL, NFL, and NBA aren't either but compared to the MLB they are followed by slightly bigger audiences so we get those. I've played the demo that I downloaded from the US PSN store and loved it - so I have imported it. Can wait to get my mitts on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I bought it 2 days ago. Having a lot of fun with it! I have MLB 07 and this game is a lot better overall. The graphics are very good and they've added a lot of new features this year. The only thing I don't like, maybe it's just me but I haven't found out how to do a home run derby on 08.

anthony Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 I ended up picking it up, played it for 3 or 4 hours straight, went to the movies, and then came back to start a Road to the Show, which I played for another, um, lets just say way way too long.

anthony Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yea the official Sony forums are saying they didn't expect so many games to be purchased in the first few days, and that any online problems should be solved in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(N) I had something similar with FIFA 08, even though I had uPnP enabled on the router the PS3 wouldnt open the correct ports and I was booted. Try using the DMZ, or manually opening ALL ports that the PS3 needs plus the ones that the game specifically asks for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L3thal Veteran Posted March 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have this game on my Q list on GameFly. I played a whole season (162 games) on MLB 07 without simulating one single game, that is how good it was. Mind you, I am not a baseball video game fan because I could not sit around and wait 4 months to play 162 games but MLB 07 made me swallow my own words. MLB 07 was the best sports game I have played period (and I play a multitude of them) taking into consideration its game play all the way to its presentation. Cannot wait for MLB 08 (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popisdead uk Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Is the copy on the PSP legitimate, or an iso running on custom firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
