MLB Bobblehead Pros Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (XBLA)

Yeah The Show is just too slow-paced for my tastes, and 2K's brand of baseball just ain't my style at all.

Definitely been a Power Pros guy since the PS2 days, and this is my baseball game of the year so far.

i played the MLB 2k series since the start, world series baseball etc or whatever it was called. really liked 2k5, then after that it seemed all down hill!! i bought 2K8 and then returned it a week later. first year i bought the game since then bc i was playing The Show.

as great as The Show is, even on fast pace game setting, just takes to long to play a game of baseball. after every game i wanted to take a freaking nap bc it bored me to death lol.

so i went back to 2k this year, played a solid game of baseball pre patch, since then, its like 2k8 again. i think im done with this series altogether now. pre patch, realistic results for most part (online league that is), 25 to 35 min games. then post patch a glorified 9 inning HR derby, 45 to 60 min games, no thanks!!

It's amazing how great it is just to be able to play a game of baseball in 20 minutes or less and still get realistic stats.

Who knows, I might actually finish a 162-game season for the first time since the original SNES Ken Griffey Jr. game.

lol.. thats the last time i do believe i played them all as well.

i just seen that MLB Power Pros was released last year for the iphone etc. but then was removed from the app store. i cant find out why it was removed though. bc it had real teams and players? i see a Power Pro app in the store but its just generic teams.

Just got the new update! It unlocks my bobble mode and Home run derby. However it did not unlock the edit player feature. Homerun derby is kinda fun and the default is the real homerun derby lineup but it can be changed. With the my bobble mode I have yet to try however it appears that you can pick any player in the MLB and play through a season. You can also edit some of these players but again I have not tried it yet. The all star teams and stadiums are also unlocked. I would say buy the update because my bobble looks like it could be very fun and have a little depth.

Wait, "My Bobble" mode is in this too?

Ok, I may have to fork over that five-spot now.

Can you make a custom player to take through the My Bobble season? Or is it limited to current MLB guys?

It gives you the option to use an mlb player or to edit one. I assume you can change every thing including the name and equipment

Looks like my guess was right, the DLC was 5$ bucks. So there is one DLC left right? Konami said they planned three correct? So another guess here would be the 3rd would also be 5$, so you have somewhere near a complete updated PowerPros game for around 20$.
