    The game of baseball is represented perfectly in MLB 06: The Show, and not only is this a candidate for best baseball game of the year, but possibly best sports game as well.

    If you're a sports fan with a PSP, my advice is simple: Buy MLB '06, bring it home, pop in that UMD, and enjoy real baseball excitement all summer long.
  3. Worth Playing

    Crafting one of the best versions of their game in years, 989 Sports also succeeds in crafting one of the best games currently on the market.

    In the end, MLB '06: The Show is a definite MVP-killer--which might explain why EA didn't even bother with baseball this year. [May 2006, p.86]

    Arguably one of the best sports titles on the PSP.

    It's a shame the online stutters so horribly and we have to wrestle with the analog nub to get our pitches where we want them to go. Yankees or BoSox, everyone can agree that MLB 06 is worth picking up on PlayStation Portable.

    Like Scott Spezio, this game is worth having on your roster until a better one comes around. [May 2006, p.96]

    Its all about Career Mode with this one. This unique mode allows you to create a player and just play with him. You start out in the minors Its all about Career Mode with this one. This unique mode allows you to create a player and just play with him. You start out in the minors and can even just play YOUR at-bats during a game. By performing well, you earn training hours which boost your attributes as your build your future star. You are at the manager's mercy so all you can do is take care of your own business. Talk about Replay Value! The hitting dynamics don't stack up to MVP 2005, but no other game ever has. This one is a true gem though and certainly worth buying.… Expand
