woohoo! my life mode...er mlb life!

i wonder if they'll note significant career milestones in this one? i thought it was really cool when my alter ego on the hiroshima carp hit his 869th homerun and the announcer actually mentioned that i broke the record.

 

[firex]

I'm going to have to pick this up. My Life mode sounds even cooler than playing the regular game.

 

[Jirotrom]

I thought last year's had bombed. Guess not.

2K needs to capitalize on all its franchises in order to keep independent...

DS Version get - awesome :-D

 

[Gamecocks625]

Does anyone here have the DS version (Japanese version, I assume)? How good is it? I've heard great things about it, and I definitely want to check it out.

They kept track of milestones in the previous MLB game in GM mode, so I'd assume My Life would also keep track.

 

[kobashi100]

so glad the DS is getting a version this year. I have always wanted the get the Japanese version but language problem put me off.

this is a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[jarrod]

DS YES!!!


Why're they skipping PSP though? :/

 

[Zhengi]

Hurray! Can't wait for this year's version. I hope the create a character mode is better

 

[farnham]

Nice@@

Now bring it to Europe

 

[XiaNaphryz]

DS YES!!!

Sales probably...anyone have Japanese sales numbers for the PSP and DS versions?

 

[FunnyBunny]

360 Version please.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

360 Version please.

Never gonna happen - Power Pros is first and foremost a Japanese franchise, if it won't have a chance to sell in Japan we're not going to see it in the US either.

 

[FunnyBunny]

Konami has made Pro Yakyuu Spirits for the 360. I'll hold out hope for a PowerPros port.

I'd settle for a simple, 16:9 port job to be honest.

That was before the PS3 was out.

If we get a Konami MLB baseball game on the 360 or PS3, it'll be a MLB-ified PYS, not Power Pros as that's the Pawapuro line.

Sold!

I've been playing Pro Baseball Spirits 5 constantly the last couple of weeks, and this game is a great companion to it!

have you been playing online? if so, do you get that same lagginess ONLY when you throw pitches, but nowhere else? seems kind of messed up...

I'd noticed that too... I wonder if PSP piracy is now actively discouraging multiformat releases (similar to PC)?

 

[BigBlackGamer]

were the fuck is The Bigs 2...

DITTO.

I was just checking out the screen shots on 1up and saw something odd. They have the brand spanking new Washington Nationals stadium, but Wrigley Field doesn't have the bleacher expansion that opened with the 2006 season. Anyone know why they would use an older version of Wrigley? It was a massive change to the ballpark.

At the very least, there's a new Japan League Power Pro title coming out on the PSP this week.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

yup.

 

[Vinci]

I will very likely pick this up. Thanks for the detailed summary of the My Life mode also; that sounds pretty kickass.

 

[hockeypuck]

Since I'm pretty content with the first NTSC version, the new one will have to have 16:9 and 480p for me to consider it.

[XiaNaphryz]

Not sure if that will get in unfortunately.

But you really really really really should consider it for the MLB Life mode. Really really consider it.
