Video Game Reviews of MLB 07 The Show
Customer Review: A decent baseball game
Summary: 3 Stars
My favorite baseball game ever was MLB 2k5 for PS2. The controls were spot on, it was hardly ever glitchy, and the graphics were pretty good for that day and age. However, after buying a PSP, I realized I wanted a quick baseball game as it is that time of year. Not wanting to shell out the extra bucks for MLB 08 or 2k8 (since graphics aside, there isn't that much year-to-year difference anyway), I picked this up. First, let me say the graphics are high-PS2 caliber, and that is saying A LOT for a PSP game. For a very small screen, they cram a lot of stuff in, the only downside being the total lack of detail on players' faces. Another thing this game does very well is totally immerse you in a highly realistic baseball experience. Some games (most, really) still leave you feeling less like a manager and more like a 20-year old who's sitting on his parents couch playing his PSP. However, this does a very nice job of all the small things, whether you're in season, career, or quick play mode.
Now for the controls. I really love the batting and the "guess the pitch" controls, and pitching is wondeful as well. Fielding is decent, but the fielders seem really stupid, a routine ground ball will sometimes not be thrown to first in time just because the fielder didn't throw it hard enough (and I turned the throwing strength slider all the way up and nothing changed). But now we come to the part of the game I hate most: the baserunning. First, it's extremely hard to control, and second, the baserunners only obey you about half the time, which makes for an unholy mess. The AI is suspicious as well, it is very easy to cheat. (For example, if a runner is on third and there is only one out, simply bunt along the first base line and the fielders throw to first every time, giving you an easy run).
Online play and gamesharing are completely underwhelming. I have done both at least three or four times and every single time, the pitching was off for both players. I could not control where I was going to pitch, and my opponent could not control what he was going to pitch. It was also really really laggy and glitchy.
It's a decent game, and most likely the best baseball game on PSP, but very disappointing in the MLB franchise.
