The only firstparty baseball game for 2006 with real players and teams, Sony’s MLB 06 continues the PSP sports series with a number of enhanced features. For the first time on PSP, players can embark on a career mode that introduces roleplaying like elements to the traditional sports action. The goal in career mode is to create an athlete and have him earn a spot on a bigleague club by performing well in the minors. The season mode now lets players guide their favorite team through consecutive years in an attempt to create a dynasty to rival the New York Yankees.

A new mode called King of the Diamond has arcademinded baseball fans selecting a pitcher and batter before trying to hit the ball to different areas in a shooting gallerystyle ballpark. The team with the most runs before time expires wins the minigame. Other notable changes from 2005’s handheld game include an allstar lineup of historic legends, the addition of Rex Hudler in the commentary booth, and revamped online support. Players can once again challenge friends online via wireless Infrastructure mode, but now they will be able to save up to 31 MLB news feeds for viewing at any time. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

    MLB '06: The Show PlayStation Portable

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 23, 2006 | 4 out of 4 found this MLB 06: The Show review helpful

    Pros: Beautiful graphics and seamless broadcast-style presentation; commentary is a joy to listen to; batting and pitching feel like the real thing; season and career modes span multiple seasons; online play is smoother and now includes buddy lists and leaderboards.

    Cons: Season mode not as comprehensive as PS2 game’s franchise mode; no player- or roster-editing functions of any kind.

    This sophomore outing improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way. The previous game didn't have batter-walk-up animations, TV-style replays, or home run celebrations. This latest installment does. Last year's game offered a modest set ...of play modes, the most involved of which was a season mode that only allowed one full season of play. This year's game, by pleasant contrast, offers a full boat of play modes. Offline, you can play games in the exhibition, season, and career modes, or boil it down to the batter-versus-pitcher matchup in the home run derby and king of the diamond modes. Best of all, the season and career modes both let you manage your chosen team for multiple seasons. Wi-Fi support allows for local and online multiplayer games. The online mode has been fleshed out this year to include buddy lists and instant messaging functions, as well as a news feed that can be read online or off. Read more Less

    Lots of fun, but some drawbacks

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 24, 2006

    Pros: Lots of fun, solid sound, solid gameplay

    Cons: Not a lot of playability for the cost

    This game is fun and if you like baseball and own a PSP I'd recommend this. After a couple of career modes, there's not a lot to do. I would have given it 5 stars but it needs more to it.
