Power Pros Forum

This looks great. I picked up a few things. One, there is a World Baseball Classic mode, with the Japanese (and, I'm guessing, the Puerto Rican and Mexican Stadium it was played in) Stadium. It also looks like you can choose which team to play on in Success Mode, and different ones are unlocked somehow, probably through playing Success Mode. The first one that is avaible at the beggining is the Golden Apples, then the Gigantes. There might also be two different versions as there is a screen in the game that says Success Mode Season 2 and lets you choose to play, load, or quit (I believe, those are the buttons on the other Success Mode Season). It looks much more in depth. The players and stadiums are more detailed, the crowd is full of individual people, not blurs, and you can actually see players in the dug-out. The hitting looks more indepth, but I'm not sure how.
On one screen, it list the modes. There are 8, but I think there is a good chance this does not include practice. Here's what we know of them so far:
1. Single Game
2. Success Mode
3. World Classic
4. My Life

I will find out more. I can try to get pics if anyone can't access it. This site is huge (much better then the game sites in America).
Edit: Like the first to the second, everything is more slick. The graphics are much more advanced. My Life looks much better. Pitchers and Catchers talk. Everything is 3D.
Baseball cards actually do something. It looks like you need a baseball card to edit a player, but I could be wrong. They seem to have a function though.

Good find on Alvin. Those aren't Marvin clones btw, he just follows you around no matter what team you pick.

Anyway it looks great!

I hate to be a pesimist but what if this stuff doesn't happen
For instance, remember when we thought that the DS version was going to be godly because of the Japanese pictures of the game that we saw, well we all know how that turned out . I'm really hoping for this stuff to be in the '09 version

I think that was different. I'm basing most of this on the small things they list in english. Very nice find. I'm excited.
Not suprising, but all the World Classic teams have there rosters full with the actual players.

I wish this game could come out soon, but not so soon that the game will take a bunch of steps back from mlbpp'08(*coughcoughjustlike2k9coughcough*)

That's because those were pictures of a different DS game. It hasn't happened to Power Pros.

Haha really? Pitching is more indepth with what looks like a power bar to determine speed. The catcher has more of a role then before.
Edit: Crap! Old Yankee Stadium.
You can definetly choose teams. There are the Golden Apples, Gigantes, the Guava Strawberries, The Mon Mon Monkeys, and the Galaxy Sharks.
They show a picture of the GM, the recepcionist, and someone else. Perhaps this is the owner. On another screen, the same guy is ontop of a region (several different regions). Perhaps this involves scouting. There are small faces (with baseball hats) on the map, maybe players being scouted.

If it's old Yankee Stadium, that's a major blunder on Konami's part.

The black (unfilled) seats were there (now a restauraunt), so at least for the Japanese, it is. There's a tiny chance that when it opens they'll create it and put it in the game, but I wouldn't count on it. It's really just ported over. That's really a shame, I was definetly looking forward to that.

Good to see ol' Rudy Fox back in the game...

Since it's still under development, I'd say there's a good chance it will be in the finished game.

they better have panama, with Ruiz! I'll play that all the time!

O.O Papalbon has a lvl 4 spilter o.o

Catcher mode, mound conferences, i'm lovin this forget internet and true utilities, i'll buy it anyway. Whoa, did i just say that? Still lookin good, though.

gotta give it to you kids....playing a game thats in japenes and still able to figure all this out. even in my younger days i never would have done something like this.
