    The reason i am giving this game a 1!, because baseball games suck. I got this at gamestop to have at least a bit of fun but i didnt feel gripped to this game at all.

    A game that means alot to me. A game make me a Baseball fan. And it want me to play real baseball! MLB Power Pros 2008 is THE game that introduced me to Baseball. It definitely looked strange for its art style but it got some kind of a very powerful and strange charm to the characters it looks kiddie friendly that's for sure but deep down inside there's a sign of integrity naive,professionalism,determination,sportsmanship courage and will to be the best player in them.
    But undeniably cute just to look at and the real magic happens when you play a match they come alive
    and pumped you keep playing!
    All your dreams to be success in Baseball will all be come true and fulfill here.
    Want to experience the journey to be a player? Go to Success mode.
    Wanna to live a baseball life of your favorite player go to MLB life mode.
    Want to create your very own team? go to arrange mode.
    Wanna be a manager to control the whole team go to League mode. It's a Baseball game for life,you just don't play this game,you live with it!    … Expand

    This is a great game. It's packed with baseball realism and quirky fun. I wish there was a bit more enhancements and quirks than what's been added since last year's Power Pros. And Tim Lincecum's delivery isn't as authentic as most others are! I'm hoping for a ps3 version next year!!

    The best baseball game out there just got better. This one will definitely hold me over until....Power Pros 2009 on the PS3??!! At $20, it's the deal of the century.

    I checked this game out at E3. I was a huge fan of the first game...this one is even better and a must have for any baseball fan! So, I still buy an occasional PS2 game...whenever a new Power Pros comes out.

    I've spent a couple days playing an advance copy of this game from a relative who works for 2K. This game is a step up from the amazing original MLB Power Pros! It's quirky and cartoony, yet the most realistic and detailed baseball game I've ever played. I haven't even tried the MLB Life or enhanced Success mode yet. The gameplay is amazing...I can't get enough of this game! After years of playing baseball video games, this is the best one of them all!… Expand

    Not much has changed since last year, but what HAS was done so for the better.

    It's just not that good. [Sept 2008, p.81]

    While Power Pros 2008 offers an undeniably massive amount of modes and options at a terrific $20 price, we could’ve easily waited until next spring for a truer, fuller follow-up.
