MLB '08: The Show PS2 Review

We finally round out our reviews of MLB '08: The Show with our PS2 review of the game, written by Chase Becotte.

Quote:
"When God of War 2 was released for the PS2 the popular thing to say was, “God of War 2 is the PS2’s swan song.” Yet more than a year later the PS2 is still motoring along, and quality titles like Persona 3 and, most recently, MLB ’08: The Show continue to arrive on the console. And make no mistake MLB ’08: The Show IS a quality title."
Platform: PS2

Re: MLB '08: The Show PS2 Review

So now the question is, should I stick with 06, or make the switch to 08?

Yup, too many hits and not enough errors are my only and biggest gripes with this game, but It's such a huge gripe for me that I have decided to make HH 2004 my beseball game of choice for the PS2 this year.

If your still having fun with 06 then stick with it. Hitting is as easy as ever in 08, and errors are near broken...plus the graphics are worse than 06.

I cant say because I havent played the PS3 version. I dont imagine there is a world of difference though.

It all depends on you. There are guys on the forums that are struggling and guys that are hitting the cover off the ball. I personaly think that I am having about average luck hitting. But I have been playing RTTS more while I wait for rosters. There for example I hit above .400 in AA, struggled to hit .309 in the spring and so far am making solid contact in my second season of RTTS which has me in the NL.

I have all 3 versions and I'd rank them, PSP, PS2, then PS3 from easiest to hardest in terms of hitting on default levels with no slider tweaks.
