    Only reason why Power Pros is still a AAA game is because:

    A)Its one of their most popular and best selling games

    B) Its probably cheaper to make than PYS.
    Any numbers on sales PP vs PYS. I'd like to see how much more PP makes.

      This is a quote from Vern of Spiritstranslation.com

      "PYS does sell well. Numbers aren't available for PYS 2015, but 2014 sold 290,000 units (which includes 90,000 PSP units) while Power Pro sold 270,000 which doesn't have a PSP version".

        So PYS out sold PP?

        200,000 on consoles and 90,000 on Portable?

                  There are two versions.... the normal PS4/PS3/Vita one and a free to download version that will include micro transactions etc.

                        Funnily enough Konami recently announced that the online features for PYS 2015 would shut down on March 31st 2016!!

                        Hopefully this means a 2016 version will be out around then but I'm not sure if it would make much sense to release two baseball games at around the same time!!

                        Might be we have to wait....


                        Btw if you haven't played Power Pro then don't let the cartoon nature fool you.... it's a very good baseball simulator!!

                        I still play the 2014 version and I was actually going to post a video in the ball physics thread for MLB The Show but didn't want to be accused of trolling!!

                        The game has pretty much the same settings as PYS so you can make it as hard/easy as you like and going by the pics the new version looks like it will be quite an upgrade!!

                        Oh and here's the video, I was going to pots that demonstrates a hit down the line... the replay towards the end of the video shows it beautifully!!

                          Never have played the japanese versions only the wii version.

                          Nice double down the line for sure, the show could learn a thing or two about that, very lacking in that game. Not sure what exactly but something there is out of whack.

                          One other thing, I could be mistaken but is it possible to edit names in that game to english, so when they come up to bat you could see who it is.

                            Pretty sure there is a change name option though I have never done it myself!! Seem to remember somebody once creating some MLB teams in one of the older versions!!

                            The guys over at Spirits translation always recommend doing this but I've never felt the need (yet)!!

                            They actually have a second website for Power Pro translations:

                              The website for the free to play 'Success' version of Jikkyou Power Pro 2016 is now up and it will also be available for PS4/PS3/Vita!!

                              I'm guessing this is something different than the usual mobile version but as mentioned previously it will have micro transactions etc.

                                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.
