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

    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.

    For those still clinging on to their PS2, MLB Power Pros 2008 is a decent purchase but I would encourage you to rent the game beforehand as it probably isn't for everyone.

    Good, simple baseball is fun for parties and special occasions, though it becomes a bit repetitive when played solo for extended periods of time.
  7. GameSpot

    It's simple, yet deep; goofy, yet realistic. By straddling these contradictions, MLB Power Pros 2008 manages to appeal to casual and hardcore players alike. It doesn't step far from its predecessor's shadow, but that doesn't prevent it from shining.
  8. PSX Extreme

    It’s probably worth the purchase if you’ve got a kid who happens to be a big baseball fan, and that means that 2K and Konami hit their goal. …kind of.

    MLB Power Pros 2008 sits and stares you down from the television like a catcher who gives his pitcher bad signals.
  10. Worth Playing
    65
    Altogether, I enjoyed MLB Power Pros for the PS2, but I don't think it's a perfect casual game experience. It still straddles the line between hardcore and casual, and it occasionally dips too far into either side to be enjoyed by everyone

    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.
