MLB Power Pros 2008 Reviews
"POWER PROS" is known as "Pawamajor" in Japan. This is the major league version of "Pawapuro" series. I hope POWER PROS 2009 will be the nice story game. Pawapuro kun Pocket series are for the portable game hards like GB, GBA, and NDS. So they have not a great graphics at the game part, but instead, Pawapuro kun Pocket series.
Although game part is great, but I don't love "Pawamajor" or "Pawapuro". traditionally have the best scenario or story in all base ball games. This is the most famous and popular baseball game in Japan. not so "Pawapuro kun Pocket". Children, students, adults, old people, ladies, and gentlemen, all of them love this series for NPB(Japanese National Pro Baseball).
Delivery Time was very bad ( Traveled from Wherehouse in Florida to California and then back to Marianna, Florida ) should have only taken a couple days instead of almost 3 Weeks.
It's a great game, soon to become a classic game, whether you play against the CPU or with friends and at parties. 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. Overall this is a great game like its predecessor. If there is a setting to change this I haven't found it. It's great for kids, teenagers,college students, and adults alike. Instead the bat reaches out.
This means it is near impossible to purposely get hit by an inside pitch. The game play and visual style is just as good if not better than the 2007 version. 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, and they've changed the standard music that you hear on the management screens thankfully. They have added a few new announcer's phrases. 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. In other words Kevin Youkilis' bat doesn't obstruct your view of the pitch if you are viewing the play from the batters' perspective.
It still has that RBI baseball feel to it from years ago with the added depth of stats stats and more stats. 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. The new version of MLB Power Pro, 2008, is the 2nd offering in the series. I highly recommend it if you like baseball and or have kids who like baseball. Also, you do not move the batter back and forth in the box to reach for a pitch. So custom players and teams appear to be lost.
The one complaint I really have is that non of the previous version's data is transferable to this version.
