Yesss, finally the player editor comes out tomorrow.

Can't wait to get into these rosters.

If anyone gets this in the am or afternoon tomorrow, please post info on the game, and any type of player editor that comes with it. Been anticipating this part of the game for awhile, so hopefully it is included and delivers. I won't be able to check out the DLC until the evening. Thanks in advance!

It's not DLC, it's a whole new game. I'm so confused by this...LOL there is a roster update DLC up though.

Re: MLB Bobblehead Pros Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XBLA)

The roster update DLC is listed as free on the marketplace?

I dunno what's up with this, but I'm downloading Bobblehead Battle to see what this thing is. Looks like it's a separate game. We'll see if it also unlocks anything for Bobblehead Pros.

Re: MLB Bobblehead Pros Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XBLA)

To clarify:

-- Today's roster update DLC is free for both Bobblehead Pros and Bobblehead Battle! You have to download it for each game.

-- Bobblehead Battle is its own separate mini-game. You just hit targets in the field for points.

-- Buying Bobblehead Battle unlocks the roster editor in Bobblehead Pros

Thanks for the info guys.


How good are the new rosters? Didn't think there was a chance they would give us updated rosters as DLC, so that's a bonus.

having to buy the battle game just for the player editor is a slight bummer, but I will get over it. Maybe if the new roster is legit, there might not be an immediate need for the player editor? But I'll probably go with it anyways.

I just saw K-Rod is on the Brewers. What other players do you guys want me to check?

My guess is everything should be updated to after the trade deadline.

Ya I just checked this out quick on my lunch. I see Trumbo, Trout, some rookies that weren';t included in the beginning on there now. See all the big trade deadline moves. This is a good thing, saves alot of time and work on rosters to get them right. This is a nice added bonus. Didn't expect a roster update for an XBOX live arcade game.

Still might get the Bobblehead battle too for the player editor.

Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be any way to turn off the CPU pitch cursor in Challenge mode of Bobblehead Battle, which is the main mode of the game (you go through all 30 MLB teams, 1 at a time ala NBA JAM).

The "controller setup" option that usually works in Exhibition mode is grayed out in Challenge mode.

I'm guessing Challenge mode limits you to default settings? Bummer, because so far, it's way too easy to beat down the CPU. I just won 26 - 0, for example.

Maybe it will get tougher as I face the better teams. You start against the lowest-rated team in the game (Pirates) and go through the ranks from the bad teams up to the highest-rated teams.

The gameplay itself is pretty fun, but the difficulty is just way too easy, and there doesn't appear to be any way to tweak the sliders for Challenge mode.

How is the player editor feature looking?

It's the same thing as My Bobble pretty much.

[philliesfan136]

Re: MLB Bobblehead Pros Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XBLA)

So by downloading the Bobblehead Battle you get the Player Editor for Bobblehead Pros as well.

I think I'm not gonna even play Battle. I'm just gonna play Bobblehead Pros with the updated rosters and player editor.

The crap they put in Battle isn't worth a whole game. Why did they change the gameplay to hitting targets, etc?

I would've been fine with a roster update and player editor. But nope, they have to change it to hitting targets. WTF?

Why couldn't they have just made Power Pros 11?

Ok, cool.

So you can go into custom team or arrange mode or whatever, then just edit names and everything on existing teams you copied over?

It's the same thing as MLB Power Pros if you've played that.

Ok, cool. Ya, that's all I wanted.

Not sure what Konami's strategy was by piece mealing this game in parts. Doesn't make sense. If anything it turned people away from the game.


Sure wish we could have had Power Pros 11 like you said, but you know what, I'll take what we can get. At least we have something resembling the updated rosters. I don't have a ps2 anymore, or the Wii, had them, and played the old PP's... but this is the only chance to play the series for right now for me.
