  • Summary: MLB Power Pros delivers an original visual style to America’s favorite pastime. Every MLB player is represented in the "Power Pro" character style - a miniature toy-like figurine model. Gamers will recognize their favorite Baseball stars through comic usage of facial expressions, facial hairir, and hair styles. Every MLB ballpark has been faithfully replicated with their respective famous landmarks, bringing authenticity to every game. With Season Mode, players become an MLB team general manager with the goal of winning the World Series by controlling all aspects of the team including training players, purchasing better equipment, making trades, and much more. Success Mode combines traditional role-playing elements with baseball scenarios - this story-based mode puts the user in the role of a college baseball player with the goal of becoming a Major League player – gamers train the player in numerous games while dealing with real-world situations of academics, part-time jobs, and other social situations.

    The game is fun, consistent, accurate and is, in every way, baseball. Over the course of nine innings and several seasons, it's clear that Konami knows baseball better than any other developer.

    A must-own baseball game. The price is a bargain ($39 for Wii) and you could be playing this game alone all the way to next opening day.

    The Wii sports lineup isn't strong, and Wii Sports is outdated. MLB Power Pros will rally sportos to pick up the Nunchuk and take a hack on a system that's been easy to ignore.

    Unfortunately, for all of its cool options and play modes, Power Pros fails to hit it out of the park because the on-field gameplay is disappointly simplistic and suffers from lackluster controls. [Dec 2007, p.82]

    One of the most enjoyable baseball games I've ever played, and I've played a lot. The gameplay is fantastic, with excellent physics (I don't think I've ever seen the same hit twice). Another plus is the depth of the game. Though there is no minor league playability, rosters are fully manageable. Success mode is a blast. Overall, one of my favorite sport games.… Expand

    I'm not a baseball fan in real life , so i found the campy approach (cartoon Mii like figures) appealing. Although initially disappointing that you don't use the Wii "Remote" for swinging throughout the whole game (only in a select mode, about 15% of the game), the "old school" method eventually becomes addictive. I'm currently working on "Success Mode" (about 20-25% of the games depth). What they need is better "Create a Team". All sports games need this, few, if any, have it. Good control over uniforms and such, but c'mon, get with reality: if you're gonna provide hideous logo's (and not let us create one), make LETTERS a choice.… Expand

    A fun game when you first start playing it, but there is still two problems. 1. Sucess mode wasn't nearly as fun as I would have liked. 2. The game gets extremely easy, extremely fast.… Expand

    I had originally purchased this game basically to have a longer version of Wii Sports Baseball. I wanted to play full games, full seasons and careers. As fun and well thought out as the game is, I have to give it a low score. Had I purchased this game on any other console, I would have given it a 9 because it is a fantastic baseball game. However, I bought it on the Wii. I am terribly disapointed that All I can use the wiimote for is exhibition games. To play seasons or careers, you just press buttons. No swinging, no throwing, just press a to swing and use the joystick to place your bat. I enjoy the Wii for the mimicking of movements. Sitting and pressing buttons took the fun right out of the game. BUY THIS GAME! Just do it on another console.… Expand
