MLB 08: The Show, produced by Sony Studios, is a baseball video game for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP. It is the only first-party MLB-licensed video game for the 2008 season. It is also the longest-running officially licensed Major League Baseball game on the PlayStation systems.

Philadelphia Phillies all-star first baseman Ryan Howard will be featured on the cover[1]. The three-man team of announcers once again include Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian and Dave Campbell.

PS3 users can also take music from their hard disks and use it to create a custom soundtrack for the game.

Gameplay

New features include:[2]

  • A deeper and more immersive Road to the Show mode, including:
    • New career advancements
    • New career goals
    • Position-specific situations
  • A new Progressive Batting Performance feature which rewards players for consistent hitting, and conversely penalizes them for prolonged slumps.
  • Improved online play with the newly introduced SCOUT (or "SportsConnect Online User Tracking") feature, which allows users to save personalized game settings and use those settings to quickly find online opponents.
  • Pitcher/Batter analysis both during and after games, including information about batter performance against a certain pitcher, various pitches and even the results of each pitch. (PS3 and PSP only)
  • As well, the ability to save gameplay, while still in game.
  • Also appearing on the PlayStation 3 version is Replay Vault. The Replay Vault allows the player to make their own highlight reels or just allow them to have bragging rights on their friends with best plays from a no-hitter or just a simple diving stop. The player can also view a certain highlight by team, player, or inning.
  • In the Playstation 3 and PLaystationPortable versions of the game, personal music can be added from the memory stick (PSP) or the hard drive (PS3)

Most features from last year's game will return, including:[3]

  • Umpire Personalities
  • Batter hot/cold zones
  • Adaptive Pitching Intelligence
  • Pitch Command System
