Maybe they will make the rosters where you can actually edit them in the next edition, too.

Does anyone now if there has been any word or news of another edition this year.

Even though 2k didn't develop the game, they did bring it stateside.....and we all know about the problems they're having right now.

I'd say unless Konami releases it themselves, the chances of seeing another one are pretty slim.

Wow. I recently bought this game for the ps2 and I have to admit that i am totally blown away by the depth and fun this game provides!

Not since the first winning eleven on ps2 have i been this suprised about a sports game.

I would urge any baseball fan to run to the store to buy it. Best sports game of the year imo.

Has anybody been laughed at for playing this game? I'll admit, I do feel kind of weird being a grown man playing a game that looks like this one does. I was playing one day, and somebody walked in the room and was like...."What are you playing? A cartoon? lol". It made me feel a little bit silly.

My GF said the same thing but, I dont care. The game plays really well and I like it. Im not worried about sliders, glitches, framrate and other NEW GEN crap. Its a fun game and that's all that matters to me.

Plus it plays a great game of baseball.

I really wish they'd put this on the 360. I'd buy it, it's the only truly great baseball game.
to that other guy, it's lame if someone makes fun of you for playing vids, then they probably turn around and watch 8hrs straight of crappy television. I think it's kind of lame when people don't play any vids these days - they're missing out.

I tried to convince my friends that this game was deep( they are big sim guys like me) but when they saw the screenshots and the box they just couldn't get over the look of the players.

Oh well, their loss!

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

I'm shocked it outsold Brawl anywhere.

Hopefully another edition is made. I'd go reserve it tomorrow if so.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

Hopefully they make another one this year or next.

You can take this with a grain of salt, but a forum administrator on the 2K forums said, "There are plans to make a Power Pros this season. Stay tuned, I'll be able to give you more info as the season starts." http://www.2ksports.com/forums/showthread.php?t=167985

Yes, this was stated before April 1st (fools day), so fear not being tricked.

I hope this is true. The only upgrades that I would want for the game would be that the 360 to get a version or at least a port, and the usual amenities offered with sports games like roster updates, or even the ability to share user created rosters.

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

I got my Wii a few weeks ago and ditched my 360. Do you guys recommend this is a solid, long-term game? Does it keep your interest for several months like the typical sim games?

I still have MVP '05 on the PC but this game sounds pretty darn interesting.

It's a very good sim type game. Looks kiddish but the amount of stats with this game are the best I've ever seen outside of text sims. You need to get the settings right though and you will hardly ever walk. Rosters will be out of date and although there is a way to get at least one teams roster correct at present it is difficult to do.

If you can get by old rosters and never walking you'll have a great time!

Re: Official MLB Power Pros thread!

That was my other concern, the roster editing/updating. I don't really want to sit around for a month and update every team. Is there any file sharing like the typical sim games?

nope. it's bad with wii stuff man pretty bad. i bet you'd find a smash bros file quicker than anything to do sports related

It's still worth it, Ehh. This game is freakin' great.
