    I love this game! Simple yet has more "realism" than the sim games. I hope 2K keeps the series going for years!

    It may not seem like it at first glance, but this is one of the best, if not THE best, baseball games ever. The gameplay is simple yet deep. The "success" mode is supposed to be great, but I'm having too much fun playing 2 players games. I hope a sequel comes out in a year or so.

    After 18 years of video game baseball playing, this is the deepest, quirkiest, and most engaging one I've ever played. I'm hoping for a sequel in the future...it'll be a must-have!

    10/10 This game made my childhood as a young baseball fan! The multitude of modes in this game is sick ! If I remember correctly they had like a college RPG road to the show game mode which you played for tournaments battle for your position etc. Then after finishing that It would allow you to basically have a MyCareer in the MLB/AAA/AA/A ! You mainly talk to your agent and practice on10/10 This game made my childhood as a young baseball fan! The multitude of modes in this game is sick ! If I remember correctly they had like a college RPG road to the show game mode which you played for tournaments battle for your position etc. Then after finishing that It would allow you to basically have a MyCareer in the MLB/AAA/AA/A ! You mainly talk to your agent and practice on your attributes but in 2008 having 2 different career modes intertwined was awesome !! It goes from like an RPG which you build on your players skills and attributes but get different bonuses and effects based on choices the game gives you! Also had a franchise mode practice mode and If I remember there was a GM franchise mode that was kind of RPG’y nothing crazy but still neat and deep for a 2008 baseball game! I tbink this game especially when playing on the highest difficulty is a easy to pick up but hard to master game but is a very satisfying game once you start getting better and better ! I recommend it to all baseball video gamers out there !… Expand

    An excellent alternative to the other baseball games on the market, especially friendly to those who aren't very keen on sports but who may enjoy the strategic options that the game offers up.

    While hardcore baseball fans may be turned off by its cutesy style, MLB Power Pros is fun, and that's what matters. Give it a swing.

    A kiddie-styled import that comes out of left field all the way from the Far East and topples the perennial powers.
