    Even though the graphics and controls can’t compete with its console brother, MLB 13 on Vita still offers a fun and deep baseball sim.

    The lack of proper tutorials for newcomers makes the game way too hard from the start for anyone that doesn't understand baseball. There's a great sports game in there, but it's hidden behind a steep learning curve and the lack of assistance from the game. If you're up for the challenge you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. I however will let the dream of baseball remain just a dream.

    This is an awesome Game if you call yourself a baseball fan! It is much better than last years vita game. There are cut scenes after a batterThis is an awesome Game if you call yourself a baseball fan! It is much better than last years vita game. There are cut scenes after a batter gets a hit or a baserunner steals a base. And the gameplay is much smoother than last years game. I would recommend it to anyone with a vita. It plays just like the ps3 version and I forgot to mention the Postseason mode isn't as good as the ps3 version for audio. But the audio is still great for a portable system. Must buy game! Much better than Mlb 12 the show for Ps vita!… Full Review »

It's basically the same as the PS3 version (which I also own) but on a handheld. I play on my PS3, then upload to the cloud. Before I leave work the next day I download the cloud save and continue my RTTS pitcher while commuting to work. I can't even stress how great that is. The reason why using the cloud saves works so well is the similarities. The console version obviously looks better, but there is no difference in the pitching and hitting mechanics. None. I can pitch just as effectively on my Vita as I can on my PS3. I think I'll play an entire career with this pitcher because I'm not tied to my home. Great, great job.… Full Review »

    i was impressed with the first game on a new system, yeah there were some graphics and frame rate issues, but overall this years version is ai was impressed with the first game on a new system, yeah there were some graphics and frame rate issues, but overall this years version is a step up. smoother animations and frame rate, graphics seem to be about the same, which is still very impressive. i'm finding it a little easier than last years but overall its an amazing experience on a handheld and well worth the investment even if you're still playing last years!… Full Review »
