Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

bluengold, what are your thoughts on the postgame stat screens? Do you actually look through them, or are they something you generally skip over?

I look at them once in awhile, generally skip through them. What I do look at all the time is my profile stats screen...wow, is there a plethora of information there. Its very telling as to what you are doing right and what needs worked on.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

Like what? I have the Wii version sitting next to me, debating on opening. But you alone have almost convinced me! LOL

Brother, you know I am not going to try and convince you to open a $40 item...lol
I will say this, this is the most fun I have had in awhile with a game...that includes NBA 2k8 and Halo3. Nothing has entered my system, since I picked this game up yesterday. It's just fun....nothing feels canned, I know we use that alot around here...but I mean nothing feels pre-determined at all. You feel like you are in absolute control of whether you win or lose. You're play ability and managerial decision's all play huge factors in the outcome.

I am having a blast just editing the whole league so I can start a franchise.

Anyone know where I look to see the "trust" level of individual players?

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

I opened it..LOL

First thing I did was edit Bonds, awesome how you can enter his stats. Very cool touch.

So far, I suck, that is all.

So do most of you have the Wii version? I went to EB and they had 2 copies of the Wii version and plenty of the PS2 version. So I picked up the Wii version "Just in case".

I own both systems but I opted to get the wii version since the wii is a newer system. I suspect that the load time is probably alot faster on the wii as opposed to the PS2.

I'll be getting this game tomorrow so I can play tomorrow night after work.

Damn being away from my Wii during my school week!

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

Wow, some cool stuff so far. Saw an injury sliding into 2nd. Played a night game at Fenway, started at dusk, turned to night. Just saw a wild pitch. This game is nuts!

I forgot who asked about the post-game stats, but I've noticed that they're extremely detailed. You can see where every hit landed on the field, every pitch crossed the strikezone, etc. It's pretty cool. It's helped me determine which pitches get hit, and in which locations.

Another thing that's really cool, not related to stats, are the number of foul balls and the pitch counts. Both seem incredibly realistic, even when I play my roommate. I can't recall any other baseball game I've played before where pitch counts were realistic.

I'm with everyone else on this game; it's fantastic. It plays so solid and so realistic, and animates so well too. It's the total package. I can't explain how pleased I am with this game.

Shut the pitch cursor off when on the mound and you're in for a real treat in terms of user pitch counts and batter vs. pitcher battles. It's truly excellent.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

I really, really, really hope they offer the same thing next year except with the realistic player models.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

I kind of dig the simple player models. The simplicity really allows the animations to shine, like in batting stances, windups, and the cutscenes.

I was thinking about this an hour after playing the game.

I never really noticed how cartoony the players looked while playing. I was so caught up in the realism of the gameplay and the fun I was having that the look didn't matter.

You mean like this game? Never gonna happen, 2K wouldn't want their own game to lose sales...
