This is the most legendary and well loved baseball game in Japan.
Children, students, adults, ancient people, ladies, and gentlemen, all of them like this series for 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 splendid, but I don’t like “Pawamajor” or “Pawapuro”
not so “Pawapuro kun Pocket”.
Pawapuro kun Pocket series are for the portable game hards like GB, GBA, and NDS.
So they have not a splendid graphics at the game part, but instead, Pawapuro kun Pocket series
traditionally have the best scenario or tale in all base ball sports meeting.
I hope POWER PROS 2009 will be the nice tale game.

I bought this on impulse last year because I like baseball sports meeting and it was only 20$ or so at the time. It turned out to be the best choice I made gaming wise the entire year.
My title is a small misleading. It implies that you have to like eerie Japanese stuff to like this game. That is far from right. It is certainly a plus if you delight in JRPGs or tale based sports meeting in general. This is because the best mode by is Success mode, which is a tale driven character creation. I spent probably 90% of my time making characters on this game, trying to get them to be as excellent as possible. This mode alone is worth the price of the game.
Other than that you have a standard “franchise” mode which they call season (even though you can do 10 seasons), a life mode which is pretty much like the career mode in other MLB sports meeting (you only control your player, some off the field minor decisions), release game and various mini sports meeting.
The players may look adorable but there is some honest baseball to be had in this game. The AI is decent and the player ratings system is one of the best ever. You cannot hit bombs with David Eckstein left and right, and it would be hard to bat .350 with Giambi over a season (on a reasonable difficulty).
The Japanese like their baseball and that passion oozes from this game and the previous one. I’m so glad that 2k brought this series stateside.

The new version of MLB Potential Pro, 2008, is the 2nd offering in the series. The game play and visual stylishness is just as excellent if not better than the 2007 version. It still has that RBI baseball feel to it from years ago with the added depth of stats stats and more stats.
They have added copious features including bullpen warm-ups, apparently this doesn’t happen in Season mode, MLB Life mode, A new storyline in Success Mode, and 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 to still exist. The one complaint I really have is that non of the previous version’s data is transferable to this version. So custom players and teams appear to be lost.
The game play is basically the same and you can easily just pick this game up and 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 go the batter back and forth in the box to reach for a pitch. Instead the bat reaches out. This means it is near impossible to purposely get hit by an inside pitch. If there is a setting to change this I haven’t found it.
By and large this is a splendid game like its predecessor. It’s splendid for kids, teenagers,college students, and adults alike. I highly recommend it if you like baseball and or have kids who like baseball. It’s a splendid game, soon to become a classic game, whether you play against the CPU or with friends and at parties.
