Why you can trust GamesRadar+
A major league scout would probably liken the debut edition of Sony’s first-party hardball franchise to Randy Johnson: he sure is ugly, but man can he pitch.
To break the bad news first, the inaugural PS3 version of MLB does not flex the console’s muscles. Disappointingly, it looks like a high-resolution version of the current-gen game, complete with woeful texture quality and poor player model detail that gives MLB 07: The Show a cartoony look, thus diminishing the impact of its smooth animations and slick framerate. A small number of uniform and stadium inaccuracies are also apparent, albeit only to the hardcore baseball-trained eye.
