PSP The Show 11 Anyone Purchased It?

[eddd]

I am interested in hearing from anyone who purchased the game for the psp this year. How is it? Is it improved or is it just simply a roster update? Can you tell if the rosters will be updated throughout the year unlike last year? Thanks

I haven't bought the PSP version, but since you're still awaiting a reply, I thought I'd summarize what i've read from others.

There are some minor animation improvements and the menus look better.

There are no analog controls, no realistic scoreboards, no rain and still no umpires.

There is no Infrastructure so no Online games or roster updates through SportsConnect, however I remember reading that SCEA will be putting updates online...

Does the PSP version have MOM?

[swaldo]

Curious to know if the offense has been toned down at all?

Hey, fellas,
I got the PSP version last night. I'm not the most fluent Show player, but I'll try to give some impressions.
king devin - I believe there is a MOM mode. I didn't check it out, though.
swaldo - I played four innings last night. All Star settings and did not change any sliders. I was the Mets playing the A's at Citi. I started Niese and got clobbered. Oakland got 9 runs on 7 hits in the first. Like I said, I'm not a veteran with this game, but I was mixing my locations and pitches up alot. I settled down for the next three and ended up losing 9-1. I didn't feel the CPU took liberties or anything - I genuinely think it took me an inning to get the classic pitching rhythm working for me. My offense was not great. sometimes I tried working the count, sometimes I went up hacking at everything.
I do have the 09 version and it is really similar from what I can see. The rosters are pretty good and I think there are roster updates online. At this point, I don't see a big difference between this and 09, but like I said, I only played 4 innings. I brought it to work with me and will play at lunchtime. If you have any questions or want me to look for stuff, let me know. Like I said, I'm not the veteran Show guy most of you guys are, so there may be stuff I'm not seeing or even looking for.
Thanks, fellas.

Thx Sarge, I dont mean to belabour the point but I will only buy the game if there is a MOM mode. Yoou said u think its in there. What makes u think that it is in there. Also, what fielding camera angles are avialable? Is it low, medium,high?

Picked up the game too, only because I'm a Show junkie......

Yes, there is a Manager Mode - it's under Exhibition in Game Modes. When starting a season it gives the option for a Manager Mode View (dugout, catcher, pitcher, press box, center field, backstop).

I haven't played a lot because I've been too busy with the PS3 version but feel free to ask any questions.

devin,
I'm going to run out to the car right now and check, but spear is correct - there is MOM. Also, the cameras for fielding are low medium and high.
I'll be back.
