Power Pros Forum

good work so far.
lemme guess, you're on page 11 of the topic.

I'm at around page 17.

good job!

I have looked through every page of this thread. Put some suggestions, cut some, and have the final ones. Took about 2 and a half pages in Microsoft Word at size 10 font. Where can I find the email to 2K Sports?

I was just wondering if I can see what you put in for it on MW.

Since most of us have had our fair share of playing Power Pros '07 and '08, we wanted to post our ideas for the next years game. 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. These ideas are from the members of mlbppworld.com forums. Please take some into consideration.

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) Ability to set a Voice name for created player during the naming process
- (Success Mode) Multiple save slots for Success Mode. 3 isn't asking *too* much considering all of the information that is saved for Season Mode can be saved in three different slots.
- (My Life Mode) Fix the player motivation problem so it is more dynamic/situation dependent.
- (My Life/Season Mode) Fix the CPU AI's handling of pitching staffs (swingmen starting 2 games in a row or relieving in one and starting the next, closers pitching in the middle innings)
- (Season Mode) More lineup options where you can set up platoons
- (Season Mode) Expand Season mode from 10 to 20 years to make the draft actually relevant
- (Season Mode) Increase the duration of some injuries in Season mode. In 50+ years of Season mode I've never seen a single season ending injury, and only a handful of trips to the DL. The vast majority of injuries in 2007 and 2008 are of the "day to day" variety where a player misses 5 days or less.
- (Season/Arrange Mode) More customizable options for teams! More logos, colors, text, etc.

WANT
- Definitely integrate the wii-mote into the game more (they'd sell more copies on the wii if they did this).
- Put some of the Japanese stadiums in the game (maybe as unlockables?)
- Some additional animations (maybe your player slamming stuff in the dugout after striking out with the bases loaded, a brawl after a hit by pitch, etc.)
- Another announcer working with the current guy (a color commentary dude and a play by play guy)
- 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) Create-A-Stadium for your Arrange Team
- I would like to see more throwback jerseys and Hall-of Famers unlockable somehow.
- 1. Ability to BUILD and MAINTAIN a stadium such as, highering staff, what food courts go where, if you want club seats, how much the seats are, every little aspect as an Owner or GM!
- In MLB Life Mode, you should have more interactions with your wife. You should still be able to go out with her and enjoy your hobbies with her. You should also have some interactions with your kids instead of none at all.
Better Replays
- Angles: When a baserunner steals, show him taking off VS the pitcher's move to the plate rather than fixing the camera on the catcher throwing. Also show the hitting/pitching cursor, pitch type in replays.
- Saving: Add a feature to save at least a dozen replays to memory, and play them later (like in Hot Shots Golf).


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) Give us the options to put our Miis through Success mode!

Sony PS2
- Password compatibility between systems for Success Mode created players

Is it good enough to send?

Why do I feel like there's some things missing?

What is it?

like... 3 of my ideas

but I'm sure there's plenty more good ideas than the ones on that post

I'm sorry if I missed them. Maybe you can repost them because I don't know which ones you are talking about?

So, is it ready to be sent yet?

The ideas for Longball were here:

There's probably more, but I don't want to do more.
