Item Description

By 2012, The Show had spent years as the sports game other studios measured themselves against, and SCE San Diego Studio used this edition to sharpen rather than reinvent. The new Pulse Pitching option asks you to time your release as a target circle pulses over the plate, a fresh way to hit your spots alongside the analog controls added a year earlier. Revamped ball physics change how the ball comes off the bat, skips through the infield and rolls into the gaps, so hits feel less scripted and more like the real thing.

Road to the Show added new customization for your created player while keeping its addictive pull: earn training points, chase the call-up and live and die with every at-bat on the way from the minors to the big leagues. Franchise mode gained smarter trade logic, so AI general managers are far less willing to hand over a star for spare parts, which makes building a contender a real challenge. Boston first baseman Adrián González, coming off a .338 season, is on the cover.

This was also an edition of firsts. Diamond Dynasty debuted here, the card-collecting team builder, originally built around online play, where you design a uniform, assemble a club and add real major leaguers to the roster, an idea that grew into a centerpiece of the series. PlayStation Move support turned the motion controller into a bat, and Franchise and Road to the Show saves were designed to carry between the PS3 and the new PlayStation Vita version, the first time The Show appeared on Sony's handheld.

The PS3 version earned an 87 on Metacritic and a nomination for Sports Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards. Today it offers the rosters, ballparks and broadcast feel of the 2012 season along with one of the deepest offline career modes of the PS3 era, and the pitcher-batter duel at its center is as tense and rewarding as ever.
