MLB Power Pros is a different take on the MLB license. While the player has the ability to play as authentic players on actual MLB teams, the players are represented by anime characters, with large heads, feet and hands with no arms and legs. The game has been a mainstay in Japan for the last 15 years. Power Pros does feature options from other real-time games such as Season, Multiplayer and Exhibition modes, it also has a story based mode where the player can create their own character and play up to 20 years, doing activities such as earning the right to move from the minors to the majors, landing big contracts, as well as buying houses and cars, make friends on and off the field, as well as start hobbies and make donations to charities to draw attention to the player. It also features a Dynasty mode where the player can run a MLB team, trading and releasing with a roster of 40 men and change formations on defense and offense as well as change a pitchers ball speed.

This was a baseball sim that was deeper than it had any right to be. I felt so good when I got all the player cards, and I really enjoyed the Success mode where you made your own player. Such a clever twist for a "My Player" mode that I'm kinda sad other baseball games haven't really come close to trying.

This is a better visual novel than some visual novels I've played. Extremely fun game that is criminally underlooked. Success mode alone makes this worth checking out, even if you don't really have any interest in baseball. It's a shame we only got two of these outside of Japan.

Also Marvin is the GOAT

great multiplayer game and the rpg story mode is great. do not play as the red sox or ill kick your ass

sure, the gameplay's a little unrealistic, the commentary's buggy, and the season mode leaves a lot to be desired. i don't care. you have to play this for success mode: a persona-inspired take on nba 2k's myplayer mode with endless replayability. it doesn't hurt that the graphics are adorable and the stadiums are faithfully reproduced. 07 is slightly superior to its successor, imo, but both are great
