MLB Power Pro Just Got Better
The new version of MLB Power Pro, 2008, is the 2nd offering in the series. The game play & visual style is just as good if not better than the 2007 version. It still has that RBI baseball feel 2 it from years ago with the added depth of stats stats & more stats.
They have added numerous features including bullpen warm-ups, apparently this doesn't happen in Season mode, MLB Life mode, A new storyline in Success Mode, & they've changed the standard music that you hear on the management screens thankfully. They have added a few new announcer's phrases. I haven't experienced the mistaken play calling, ground balls on pop ups etc, as in the previous version but it is reported 2 still exist. The one complaint I really have is that non of the previous version's data is transferable 2 this version. So custom players & teams appear 2 be lost.
The game play is basically the same & you can easily just pick this game up & play it without much of a learning curve. One change I noticed in the game play is how batters who hold their bat slightly over the plate before the pitch are translucent instead of solid. In other words Kevin Youkilis' bat doesn't obstruct your view of the pitch if you are viewing the play from the batters' perspective. Also, you do not move the batter back & forth in the box 2 reach 4 a pitch. Instead the bat reaches out. This means it is near impossible 2 purposely get hit by an inside pitch. If there is a setting 2 change this I haven't found it.
Overall this is a great game like its predecessor. It's great 4 kids, teenagers,college students, & adults alike. I highly recommend it if you like baseball & or have kids who like baseball. It's a great game, soon 2 become a classic game, whether you play against the CPU or with friends & at parties.

Children, students, adults, old people, ladies, & gentlemen, all of them love this series 4 NPB(Japanese National Pro Baseball).
"POWER PROS" is known as "Pawamajor" in Japan.
This is the major league version of "Pawapuro" series.
Although game part is great, but I don't love "Pawamajor" or "Pawapuro"
not so "Pawapuro kun Pocket".
Pawapuro kun Pocket series are 4 the portable game hards like GB, GBA, & NDS.
So they have not a great graphics at the game part, but instead, Pawapuro kun Pocket series
traditionally have the best scenario or story in all base ball games.
I hope POWER PROS 2009 will be the nice story game.
