(More customer reviews)The new version of MLB Power Pro, 2008, is the 2nd offering in the series. The game play and visual style is just as good if not better than the 2007 version. It still has that RBI baseball feel to it from years ago with the added depth of stats stats and more stats.
They have added numerous features including bullpen warm-ups, apparently this doesn't happen in Season mode, MLB Life mode, A new storyline in Success Mode, and they've changed the standard music that you hear on the management screens thankfully. They have added a few new announcer's phrases. I haven't experienced the mistaken play calling, ground balls on pop ups etc, as in the previous version but it is reported to still exist. The one complaint I really have is that non of the previous version's data is transferable to this version. So custom players and teams appear to be lost.
The game play is basically the same and you can easily just pick this game up and play it without much of a learning curve. One change I noticed in the game play is how batters who hold their bat slightly over the plate before the pitch are translucent instead of solid. In other words Kevin Youkilis' bat doesn't obstruct your view of the pitch if you are viewing the play from the batters' perspective. Also, you do not move the batter back and forth in the box to reach for a pitch. Instead the bat reaches out. This means it is near impossible to purposely get hit by an inside pitch. If there is a setting to change this I haven't found it.
Overall this is a great game like its predecessor. It's great for kids, teenagers,college students, and adults alike. I highly recommend it if you like baseball and or have kids who like baseball. It's a great game, soon to become a classic game, whether you play against the CPU or with friends and at parties.
