MLB The Show 08 is quite possibly one of the best sports titles ever made. It provides a simulation environment that is as deep as you want to be, and offers tons of meaningful in-depth extras. I heard someone at GAF was bitching custom soundtrack didnt play during the entire ballgame, and to that I say BUY A STEREO YOU TWAT.
This will never be GOTY 08, and possibly not even Sports Game of the Year. Why?
1.) Brand Loyalty. Lets suck some EA Sports cack and get a Pizza Hut Pizza with a 2 Liter of Pepsi brand Cola and/or Red Bull Energy Drink.
2.) Football currently far more popular than Baseball. I guess sports fans dont like STRIKES every four or so years.
3.) I CANT PLAY MUH SOUNDTRACK OVER STADIUM SPEAKERS ALL GAME. OH NOES SEZ GAF distinguished mentally-challenged fellow SQUAD IN THEIR ONE PIECE WACKY JAPPY PAJAMAS!
4.) Shines on PS3. Pirated on PSP. Lost in a Sea of Sports on PS2.
If you like sports AT ALL, and dont own MLB The Show 08 for PS3, PS2, or PSP, you are a fucking moron.
