Hmm...I can't say this looks very promising. Already in to June--no mention of Power Pros '09 coming to the U.S. ANYWHERE!--with the baseball season is in full swing. Granted, there's a six month window to release a baseball game, but you'd think if they (2K) were going to release this thing, we'd start to hear something about it by now.
Either this thing is going to get announced a week or two before it hits the shelves (July? August?) or it will simply be shelved. My guess is probably the latter.
Damn, guess it's time to import this year's version and polish up on my Japanese.
