Product Description
MLB Power Pros 2008 delivers a unique flair to America's favorite pastime with an original visual style, pick-up-and-play gameplay mechanics and several deep gameplay modes. Gamers also get the opportunity to act as general manager and control the destiny of their own franchise in Season mode, or engage in entertaining role-playing story modes such as Success and MLB Life modes. As general manager, gamers can trade, sign free agents, coordinate practice schedules, purchase new equipment, call up and send down players from the Minor Leagues; along with other management strategies to bring in fans, win play-off games, and eventually earn the title of World Series champion. In Success mode, fans can participate in a story-based career of rising players in the Double-A Minor League system trying to improve their baseball skills and make an impression on baseball scouts while also having to balance various situations in their personal lives. Through a variety of amusing training and game challenges, players who complete Success mode will also be able to take their created player files into MLB Life as well, or also play as either an existing Major League Baseball player in Dream Mode, or start as a rookie in Major League Career mode. While continuing to play in games through the regular baseball season, you will also participate in a number of realistic situations such as signing contracts, purchasing houses and cars, making charitable donations, building up relationships with friends and teammates, picking up hobbies and much more. With easy pick-up-and-play hitting and pitching controls, along with intuitive Wii functionality, other new features in MLB Power Pros 2008 include support of 40-man rosters, change of ball speed, adjustment of defensive shifts, along with a real-time bullpen check functionality for substituting pitchers.

This is the most famous and popular baseball game in Japan.
Children, students, adults, old people, ladies, and gentlemen, all of them love this series for NPB(Japanese National Pro Baseball).
"POWER PROS" is known as "Pawamajor" in Japan.
This is the major league version of "Pawapuro" series.
Although game part is great, but I don't love "Pawamajor" or "Pawapuro"
not so "Pawapuro kun Pocket".
Pawapuro kun Pocket series are for the portable game hards like GB, GBA, and NDS.
So they have not a great graphics at the game part, but instead, Pawapuro kun Pocket series
traditionally have the best scenario or story in all base ball games.
I hope POWER PROS 2009 will be the nice story game.
 Great for two person play. Solo is too easy. September 17, 2008

Most Wii owners start with Wii Sports. The baseball game in there is pretty basic but enough fun to point at Wii's potential. MLB Pro can be considered as a spruced up version, with much better graphics and real MLB rosters. It becomes my son's favorite Wii game instantly. We have had a lot of good time playing against each other.
The solo part of the game is too easy, however. My son, on his first try, beats the CPU 12-0 in 3 innings. He never plays solo again. Unfortunately and strangely, the game does not come with different difficulty levels.
Great Game September 8, 2008

Really fun baseball game, great physics, ability to alter difficulty to your skill level. Deeps stats, and of course, really cute players. Only downside is that roster updates would be nice.
so far so good September 2, 2008

very sophisticated game with lots of options. looks like many of them require major time commitment. Haven't played enough yet to give an in-depth review but it's great fun so far!

Quick question for those that have bought this. When swinging the bat do I swing the wii stick or is it button pressing?
