Official MLB Power Pros 2008 thread!

The shop is exactly the same as last year minus Arrange mode. I don't see any option to pick a uniform in season mode, but it may be random like MLB 08 is.

There are a few options that are locked once the season begins. They are'

Player Improvement
Draft
CPU Trade
F/A
Trade
Created Player Trade

Some possible bad news, can people confirm this is true and not a manual print error?



Why would bullpen functionality only be in Exhibition Mode?

That's how it was in 07 version of power pros, but actually I never saw anyone wear any uniforms other than home and away in season mode, it was pretty stupid.

Looks like the AI still pounds the strike zone. I did throw away what would have been a walk when I hacked at a low and in slider.

Can someone try and create a player via MLB Life mode and then see if they can import that character right away to Arrange or Season mode? It would be nice to have another option other than Success.

I like the hot/cold zones but unfortunately you need to set strike zone to "on" to see them. I may go with it since the zone fades before the pitch is actually thrown. There's also a pitch tracker for all ABs when you hit start. Aside from the addition of an actually bullpen for warmups I'm not seeing too much different for on-the-field gameplay.

What are your difficulty settings?

AI threw 128 pitches to me, 82 for strikes. It was Hirsh (magenta) and Vizcaino (yellow) of Colorado in case anyone was wondering. I had it set to All Star pitching. Didn't hack much at all but did throw what would have been a walk away on a stupid cut. I don't think much has changed in this department.
