Dice-K doesnt throw a Gyroball on purpose, i think that there are times when he throws one accidentally. Since he doesnt throw it consistently, he wouldnt get Gyroball.

When you make a success player, I want the ability to add him to WHATEVER team I want in Life Mode.

It's annoying when I make a pitcher for the Jays but then I have to create another pitcher for the Rays.....instead of having to make two different pitchers I want to be able to use one pitcher and place him on two (or more) diffrent Life modes.

A minor one:

It annoys me when a batter hits a single, and takes second only because I'm trying to throw someone out at home, and gets awarded a double. It should be a single and FC. I'm a stats guy so these things get to me.

Since most of us have had our fair share of playing Power Pros '07 and '08, I think we should start a list of things we want in the next years edition, and perhaps if we get the attention of the developers soon enough they can work our fixes in. No one plays the game more than the people who purchase the game AFTER the beta testers get done with it, so I think our feedback is far more important and in-depth than a game testers' ever could be.

We'll break it down to General Power Pros Fixes, and console-specific areas for the Wii, PS2 and DS.

General Power Pros

NEED

Online Roster Updates (Weekly/Monthly?)

Online Play Capabilities (Exhibition, League, Season Modes) perhaps more than 2 players? (Multiple players per team take control of a single position player each?)

Name Pronunciation Fixes (Most of them are correct, just fix the ones that aren't)

Better choice of which fielder is controlled by the player during a play. This includes gappers to Left/Right Center Field, and 1B/3B going after a foul ball instead of automatically defending the base, which is the pitcher's job to do once one of them moves off the base!

Bullpen warmup feature from Exhibition Mode to be put in all modes

Make it easier to draw walks, allow beanballs

Allow Alt. jerseys to be used in all modes and allow Arrange teams to create the alternate jerseys

(Success Mode)

(My Life Mode)

(My Life/Season Mode)

(Season Mode)

(Season/Arrange Mode)

WANT

MORE voices! Even poor Marvin's name isn't pronounceable by the announcer/Merluzzi!

On a play from the above, we need more names for drafted/scrub players on teams. It makes the rosters seem tired and dull when there's four 'Arteaga' players on it. Also make them more varied in their pitching and hitting styles.

Cameo or bring back some characters from old Power Pro games besides Marvin, some of us really liked them. Even take some from the Pawapuro series that we aren't familiar with yet.

Multiplayer HR Derbies (Online too maybe?)

Password compatibility between MLBPP versions for Success Mode created players (Limit the number if you must, but some of us just love our old characters!)

Team-specific chants, get the crowd REALLY into the game when in difficult situations

(Arrange Mode)

Nintendo Wii

Wii-mote capabilities in more modes than just Exhibition

Password compatibility between systems for Success Mode created players

Utilize the power of the Wii! If the PS2 can't keep up then it's time to move on to the PS3. We like HOW the game looks, style-wise, we just want it to look BETTER (remove the jaggies using anti-aliasing, deeper color, more fluid movements)

(Success Mode)

Sony PS2

Password compatibility between systems for Success Mode created players
----------------------------------------------

Please post here and we'll get a nice long list going. We can send the results to Konami/2kSports to see what can be done. The sooner we can get these ideas out, the better chance (if any) we'll see them!

you need to email this list (revised with our other ideas, of course) to 2k sports.

Make sure DrMario sends it. They like him.

So I don't have to read through 8+ pages of new stuff, how about someone post up a nice little compilation of stuff I should add and debate them. Personally I don't know if we should get too in-depth when it comes to player-specific abilities.

lanceberkman · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 10:52 am

Let us lean into pitches again.

DarkShade · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:08 am

Also does anyone actually have the DS version so we know what to fix from that?

lanceberkman · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:57 am

Everything needs fixing there. More stadiums,success and life modes.

Uh, edit function.

i dunno if this has already been said or not.
i just joined and havent read through all thats been said

but i would like to be able to go back and edit success mode players as well as the ones already created.
thats one big problem that i have...i dunno about you guys

but sometimes i would like to go back and change something about a character i made.

Longball714 · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:59 pm

If you could change the stats of the player, then Success mode would be useless. However, I have often had times when I would like to change the batting/pitching form, or the name, or the appearance, or the favorite team, etc. So that would be a good idea.

mlbppfan · **Posted:** Thu Oct 02, 2008 5:06 pm

haha that is what i meant.

the way he looks, stances, and etc.

sorry i didnt clarify earlier
