    mlb 08 the show

    Well MLB 08 the show has many ways too enjoy this game but my personal favorite is Road To The Show.

    in this mode you get to create your self or some fake person. you get to choose your batting stance or pitching stance (if you choose that posy(position)you choose). you can chose a genric one or any one from the mlb. next you chose your  ball club  and play spring training. if u do good in the club will offer u a contract. the way to make from double a to the show is advancement goals. this edition to the game  SUCKS!!!  if u look back at the past years (of the games) you will remember if in the training option if your bar that is usually blue is orange means you have to train there before your ability for that thing drains out . but for advancement goals you have to train on a pacific ability until you get the part high enough. so if you're orange in say contact vs. r. h. p (right handed pitching) and increasing it  isn't  a goal you got big problems!!!!!!

    ok the next fun mode is franchise. in this u get to draft your roster and manage your moneys. by manage your money i mean u have to keep your budget in order cause u have to pay your players their salary, make promotions,and field repairs. but all in all this is a very fun mode.

    now for the overall game play. the grafics are pretty decenct compared to 07 when u were sliding through the  second base mens leg. broad casters voices are very realistic it actoly feels like there next too u. 





    so the bottom line for the game is 




                                                             AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    man i want to play now

      MVP 05 move aside, a new king of baseball has arrived!! 0

      ~Intro~    Baseball games have really taken a turn for the worst in recent years. Ever since MVP 05 there really hasn't been a baseball game that revolutionizes America's pastime. This is roughly due to companies going around buying up exclusive licenses. Unfortunately, this is a double edged sword; publishers force gamers to buy their product if they desire <insert license here> games. The problem is this completely eliminates all forms of competition. Like in all industries, competition ...

      The best video game baseball currently in existence. 0

      The last few years of The Show have been promising glimpses of how good a baseball game can be. Each iteration made stabs at overtaking EA's MVP Baseball '05 as Best Baseball Game Ever. While the core gameplay in The Show has always been top-notch, each release has been plagued by varied problems -- sub-par graphics in 2007's PS3 version, poor online performance, wonky bugs.But 2008 is the year where The Show has finally put it all together. This is the best baseball you'll find on any console a...
