The title says it all. This basically the exact same game as the 09 version except for the upgraded rosters. The biggest thing I was looking forward to was the catcher mode. Unfortunately, I didn't do my research and that mode is not available on the PSP. The fact still remains that this is a very fun game, but for the most part it is a recycled version of 09; even the announcer quotes are the exact same! I am looking forward to picking up the PS3 version and getting into the catcher mode. I've never gotten into the actual road to the show feature on this game and was dying to do it this year based off of that catcher mode, but oh well. I'm sure I will enjoy the hell out of the pS3 version. So, if you don't have the 09 version then you should definitely pick this up. However, if you have last year's model, don't waste it on this when you could be putting that money towards the PS3 version!

Let me ask all the 1 Star reviewers, compared to MLB 2K10 would you still rate this game 1 Star. I would assume not because 2k10 for PSP is the biggest piece of trash to enter the baseball gaming market. The Show is just a really fun game to play with really great controls and movements. I enjoy it, I really do not care too much about the roster updates because I understand the business aspect of it. If they gave you a new roster every year would anyone buy new games, I think not. It is a little pricey and that's why it did not get the 5 stars but the game is really solid and I really enjoy playing it. I had MLB 2K10 first and I almost threw it out the window it annoyed me so much. Its worth a purchase if you enjoy a nice season of baseball on the plane or on the go. If you want to play online and do all these things then you should probably invest into a PC/PS3. PSP is called portable for a reason so you have something to do on the go.

The bright side to this game is that the graphics are better than '09. The ballparks are more detailed along with the diamond and grass. The game is also a little bit easier to play than last year when it comes to hitting the ball. Some things that this game doesn't have is the roster updates. It's not a downer though, it is still a fun game. The road to the show game is the same. The catcher mode, where you call the game in road to the show, is not on the psp version of this game which was a little bit of a disappointment because it would have been a big turn for this game. The announcers have the same lines as last year but overall it is still a very fun game to play. One more upside is that the pitching is better. Sometimes the line your supposed to match with the release point line wasn't that visible, but this year's version the line is darker so it is a lot easier to pitch. I would recommend buying a used version of this for $25-$30 in very good or like new condition so you don't feel like you overpaid for this game.

i like the show on the ps2 then loved it on ps3 now its still great on psp so i always buy every year its the best baseball game want reviews on video games and movies hit me up on [...]

I actually bought this game for my husband to go with his new psp. He wasnt really interested in sponge-bob!!! I purchase this so he would have something to keep him busy on a long flight to Europe. He plays it (and Madden) every day. I even started playing too!

I loved this game! I especially enjoyed the "road to the show" feature where you created a player. I had an older version of this game before I bought this one, and I was impressed by all the new features. The only two downfalls this game had was now it seems like there are three announcers for some reason and in the old version there were only two (which is the way most real mlb games are) And a lot of the things that are said during the game are the same things that were said in my old game, which was a 989 sports version, made in 2005 I believe. But I would not let those two things prevent me from buying the game. In fact this game was so good someone stole it from me, so I guess I will have to go out and buy another one :( Oh well, it's worth it!!

MLB 10 The Show is the best baseball game on the PSP. If you're a sports game fan, or really into baseball, then you definitely can't go wrong with this product. The only problem is that it isn't a huge improvement over last year's entry (MLB 09 The Show). The two games are very similar. If you already own 09, then it's probably not worth upgrading unless you really want the new rosters badly.

This is great portable baseball. To think a game this good could be held in the palm of your hand is amazing. To give it bad reviews because there is no online multiplayer is insane. This is a single player game. It has tons of single player replayability. You can spend the next year playing season, career, RTTS, etc without even coming close to getting tired of this game. If you want to play baseball with other humans try going outside and grabbing a bat and ball. You don't need a PSP to play baseball with humans. This game excels in single player.

When I loaded the game for the first time, the first thing I did was look for the on-line link to update rosters. Well, it's gone. That's right, no on-line option = no ability to update rosters. This is a huge take away from the 2009 version. Given the identical gameplay, save your money and stick with 2009.

Updated roster, and that's it. A high price to pay if you already have the 2009 version. If you don't, it's a fun game. But I've owned the last 3 years of this game, hoping that they would make some changes to the graphics, or even the announcers "lines". Each year, they don't. They change rosters, make a minor change or two, and release it for $40.

And then as someone else mentioned, they've taken away the online capabilities. I didn't use that a ton, but to take it away just takes a step backwards.

I'll play it for this season, but they won't get me again in '11. I'll wait and see reviews and/or buy a different baseball game.
