When I bought this game I was just looking for a baseball game to play. Now everyday I'm playing this game and I never get sick of it. Amazing game, great graphics, overall just fun to play. So much variety in game modes that you will never get bored. Easy to learn to play, but still realistic because you won't destroy every team you play.

I read numerous reviews before purchasing this game. After reading some of them, I started second guessing whether or not I really wanted to purchase this game. I am glad that I decided to. Yes, there are minor glitches, such as automated throws around the horn going into the outfield, but I have really seen nothing that gets in the way of gameplay. Overall, this is the best baseball game I have ever owned.

I'm not even going to compare this game to MLB 2K7 because it would be like Tyson fighting an infant. 2K7 is a junior varsity game, end of story. This review will focus on MLB The Show 07 and how it compares to last years game, which by the way, was a classic.

Graphics-The graphics in MLB the show are the best you would expect for the dying PS2 console. Stadiums are done in full detail and includes most minor league parks as well, which is where you most likely will start out in "the road to the show" mode. The player models look very similar to the real things. Also, batting stances, pitching windups, they are exactly as the real players. The animations, from running the bases, to pitching, batting and fielding, The Show nails almost everything creating a truly authentic baseball environment

Gameplay-The amount of different gaming modes that are available is really where The Show shines. The revamped "Road to the Show" is extremely addictive and takes you from spring training trying to make the big leagues through the season, where you build your attributes from game to game hoping to eventually get called up to triple a and eventually the majors.

The franchise mode gives you complete control over everyone and everything relating to your team. Hiring/firing coaching staffs, trades, contracts, lineups, rotations, its all here. You can even control small things like tv contracts, how and when to advertise your team, and setting prices for food, parking, and seating. It's all here, so the re-playability is a ten all the way on the different things you can do in this game.

The only gripe I had with this game is that it plays almost exactly like last years, with a very minimum amount of changes. It seems to me that the developers focused on creating "road to the show" and left the actual gameplay from last year alone. I guess that's a good thing because the fiedling, hitting, and pitching, were dead on in last years game (not the baserunning, which they fixed). Also, some minor tweaks from last year still aren't fixed, which is puzzling. I feel like when you shell out 45 bucks for a game you are kind of disappointed when it looks and plays almost exactly the same as last years. EA is always guilty of that. But the road to the show mode makes up for this.
