Were you able to navigate around the menus ok? Similar to PYS? I'll have to keep it in mind this spring and it will be a for sure buy esp. if there is no PYS 16.

Having played previous versions it wasn't too bad, especially with the help of the power pro translations site and Google translate!!

Just wish I could understand things like the Success and My Life parts better/easier as they look so much fun!!

Let me know when PYS 2016 goes live.

they could be doing the same thing with PYS they did with this bringing it to FOX engine and skipping spring then releasing it in fall. This was a fall 2015 release but delayed till spring.With Power Pros built into the FOX engine all they need is to bring in the player models for PYS. They are very similar games.

I still believe PYS will live on. Nothing has been posted anywhere saying they let PYS go. Why would they it's more $$.

Ok I've heard of the fox engine (used in PES) but that's about all I know about it. What exactly is different about it from the old engine and your saying this Power Pros uses it?

Would the manual for success mode in the Wii version help with this at all, have you ever looked into it?

it's Konami's new game engine, probably the best out there, Hideo Kojima's team made it for MG5.
The impressive thing about it is how good the performance is for how good it looks.
"EA's frosbite engine is close but doesn't get the performance, used in the new Rory Mcilroy PGA tour"
Power Pros is using FOX now, that's why it looks so good and physics should improve also.
This is what i love about Konami baseball games smooth as butter game play. Unlike MLB the Show running barely at 30fps.
I bet PYS is under development now to the FOX engine. Konami will do better sales from it.

Oh man I hope your right and it's releases. Either way think I'll grab this game as well. I remember the wii power pros and it had a lot of fun factor.

that's what japanese focus on is fun over GFX. Unlike SCEA with the show. That's the whole problem with the show game play is boring.

Straight from last years news letter in march. "KONAMI will continue to develop and distribute a wide range of baseball-themed games, to deliver the pulse-pounding excitement of the sport to an ever-increasing customer base."

Success mode is basically Road to the Show with more story and off-field events. It's always been tough for non-Japanese speakers to get much out of it due to the large amount of untranslated text.

The paid version is the one most people on here should be interested in, since that includes a season mode with no story elements to worry about and team management options that are easily translated.

Will it be in english?

No, but there will likely be translations for the menus a few days after release on spiritstranslation.com

Konami have just announced their third quarter figures and there was still no mention of PYS in their pipeline release dates.

Looks like they are either keeping it under their hat or we are looking at an autumn release.

Then there's the worst case scenario!!

Well I for one am picking up the new Power pros game when it comes out this spring. It's 10x better than anything else out there that's for sure.

Anyone here have both 2013 and 2014 games? Was 14 much of an upgrade?

2014 was the year they introduced the same pitching mechanic as PYS - the shrinking circle.... before that it was all just one button pitching!!

That alone makes 2014 the better game!!

Thanks, I had read something about that but wasn't quite sure.

Guess I'll just wait for 16 then. Wish they would add a solid release date, by not it's looking more and more like a very late spring release.
