Pro Yakyu Spirits 2010 pre-release thread

[beau21]

I finally made the plunge!

After two years of watching this game in awe.. I'm buying a copy of PYS6 from one of the members on this site!

I decided to go with 6 because I think having the WBC mode with familiar players will help extended this game for me.

Looking forward to finally playing this game!

I see this will be available for the PSP (it doesn't look like any of the previous versions were). I can't wait to give it a try! I am assuming this will work on a U.S. PSP? Are there region issues with the PSP like with console and PC games? Anybody know?

The PSP is region free. All you gotta do is stick that UMD in your U.S. PSP and it'll run. I did it with Hajime No Ippo Victorious Spirits. I was thinking about picking up the PSP version in addition to my purchase of the PS2 version.

Yeah that is pretty funny. That guy is like me when I play. He was so into it. My favorite part was when he got a hit to deep left center and he thought it might go yard, but it hit off the wall. Those moments are the best in PYS. (when you hit a deep shot but it just stays in the park) No other game has quite as much doubt about whether the ball will be a HR or not as it does in PYS.

I just played a game of PYS6. I was the US against Australia. I lost 2-1. But it was such an intense game. I started Peavy and Australia went up 1-0 in the top of the 1st. They they went up 2-1 in the 6th. In the bottom of the 7th, I got Jeter and Chipper on base. With 2 outs, Wright drove in Jeter with a single. Chipper got over to 3rd, they threw to 3rd, but then i tried to stretch the single into a double, but they threw it to 2nd and tagged me out just in time. I left Chipper stranded on 3rd. The game ended 2-1.

The thing I love about PYS is how you can make 20 outs in the first 21 batters (as I did at the plate) to start the game, have 1 hit going into the 7th, and you can still have a chance to win. And then you have one inning where you have a rally and you push your luck trying to turn a single into a double, and then you can never make a rally like that again for the rest of the game.

I realize some people may be better than me but i use pretty hard settings, so most games are low scoring.

I use some pretty challenging settings as well Sim, took me 8 tries before I won my first WBC with the USA... heres how I did it...

Took the USA all the way!

CAN 7-1
VEN 4-2
VEN 8-5
P.R. 5-2
VEN 3-2
VEN 2-0
CUBA 6-4

Final:

Every game except for my 1st against Canada was a nailbater to get to this. The finale against none other the Japanese National Team. I lucked out with mine and the Japanese's pitching staff. I was able to roll out Oswalt who was feeling fantastic. And the Japanese could only counter with Wakui who was feeling ok. However Wakui was able to hold me to just 2 runs through the first 5 innings. Its fine though Oswalt has been throwing fire and the Japanese big bats can't touch his breaking balls. However they chip away and get a run in the 6th. Then the japanese strike for 2 more in the 7th with their small ball tactics. 3-2 Japan when they score again and make it 4-2 in top of the eighth. This is not happening, I didn't bring these guys all this way to lose now. We beat'em in WW2 for a reason! I get a run across with 1 out in the bottom of the eighth and am threatening with a man on 3rd and 1st with Rollins up to bat. Grounder to short double play! ****!!!! Top of the 9th goes by with little to do. Bottom of the ninth 4-3 Japan at this point. Guess whos comin in? Kyuji Fujikawa. **** this!!!! Alright compose, I got the heart of my lineup comin to bat. Youkilis, Dunn, and Braun. Youkilis has been magma hot and tearing the cover off the ball. Dude's hitting .468 with 5HR and 9RBI If anybody's tying this game up its Youk. Nope, weak pop-up. One out and strike-out/HR machine Dunn is up. I leave him in since he's a lefty and can also make one swing to tie it up. First pitch I see, single! No way I can't believe it. Ok man on first and up steps Ryan Braun also making a strong case for WBC MVP hitting over .300 with 6HR and 8RBI!!!! For a second and I mean a millisecond I think about bringing in Chipper Jones, dude has a S rating versus rightys and S power!! But I say no and stick with the horses I rode in on. First pitch from Fujikawa, strike!, lasers a fastball to the upper outside for strike one. Alright if Im going to get anything on this guy its gotta be early in the count, Im going after the very next pitch. Low inside fastball, CRACK!, Braun smashes one down the line, will it stay fair!?!??!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

Walk off 2 run homer for the TITLE!!!

Japanese are stunned, Americans elated!!


Needles to say Braun won the MVP, going .357 with 7HR and 10RBI

Hey Muka what was going on at around the 4:00 min mark of that video. It looks like some mini manager mode, its displaying the Fighters line-up with another screen showing the pitcher and the current batter? Just wondering...

[bonannogiovanni]

Do you know if there will ever be a demo on the japanese PS store?

I wondered the same thing. If anyone can explain what that does, I'd like to know, too.
