I picked up MLB08 the show for PS2 yesterday.  Nothing too impressive to report.  The Reds are ranked 17th overall in the game.  Ran a smiulation of an entire season, and the Reds finished 83-79.  5 games out of first in the central (Cubs), and 2 games out of the wild card (Braves).  The engine had Joey Votto running away with the rookie of the year, as the sole Reds all-star, and batting in the mid .350s.  I know these don't mean much, but yet another projection.  I chose this game over MLB2K8 because it has the Minor League Baseball endorsement stamped on the cover.  

Unfortunately, the game does not include Jay Bruce.  It did have several other Reds minor leaguers, and you can play games with the Bats or Lookouts.  This was dissapointing, but should Jay make the Big League Squad, the rosters are updatable online.  

Just thought I'd give this update to anyone considering purchasing the game.  The actual gameplay is fun, but it's going to take me a while to get used to since the last game I played regularly was MVP baseball 05 for gamecube.  If anyone has any other questions about this game let me know.  I won't bore you with my walk-off single by Freel on opening day after I blew a save with Cordero.
