Is the only way to create-a-player through the success mode?

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

Has anyone done a Season, or rather simmed it to see trades? Is the trade logic any good?

How are the rosters? Are rookies, such as Ryan Braun, Joba Chamberlain, and Carlos Gomez included?

Thanks!

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!

Some more cool stuff.

Batter injured after fouling a ball off his foot.
CPU catcher overthrowing the second baseman on a steal attempt.
Foul tips that are caught by the catcher, had one that it counted as the third strike (cool).
Passed ball although the announcer said it was a wild pitch. Clearly just a passed ball though.

This is just after playing 4 games.

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

No way. These legless freaks have way more charm than attempts to create realistic player models. Plus, they don't need to waste time on thousands of perfect animations.

Does this game have that this is cool feeling (ala The Bigs) but feels like that coolness will wear off?

This game has that cool feeling where there's so much you can edit and do that you could be playing this for years.

I have that game (and last years). The game is GREAT except for the language barrier. If it came on in MLB form and in English...wow.

I have the show on PS3 and I would "absolutely"( in the voice of Rocky ) say yes 100 times over. There are things that this game does, that The Show would pee itself trying to do....not to knock The Show, cause I love that fricking game. It's different, it's fresh and you have never played anything like it, unless your a participant of this series before.

It's hard to describe, but I could not put the show in and play it for 15 times in a day. Well I couldn't do that with any game, as boredom would set in real quick. I have probably played now about 17/18 exhibition games just today( day off, wife out of town) and I am going to play some more tonight....which is sad, but it is that much fun.

Wow, you make this game sound great. I've gotta try & stop by my game store tomorrow & pick up the PS2 version. This game is a real bargain at only $29.99 considering the fun factor it seems to provide.

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

it's kinda neat seeing these "things" (don't know what you call them ) mimic their real life person.. batting stances & windups (like Jeter, Clemens).. just sick.

saw an injury myself (Furcal with a shoulder injury) but he got treatment & stayed in the game..

The batting stances and pitching motions are extremely close to life-like so yes I agree.

I was looking through the different batting stances and they even have two Alex Rodriguez stances.

They have a 2005 version and his most current one (2006).

The difference is noticeable and it's great because if you wanted to create an ARod in his Seattle days you could do that. The 2005 version has his front foot on a higher arch off the ground. I used to love that batting stance.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

"Super" Joe Smith is a side-armer in the game.. glad to see they kept that!

course, I stink at hitting...

I highly suggest it Eric, I am not here to convince anybody to buy or not buy. All I know is that 95% of the impressions are of people just blown back by how much fun this game is.

I had no idea what to expect, and as I learn more, the more fun it becomes.

I started getting tired of the Bigs after just a few games. Power Pros is more like No Mercy on the N64, where people will be playing it years from now.
