Ya, I don't know what they are thinking here.

They have a solid series with PP, and they try to get it going again. They have some solid buzz with this game. We are waiting on some features to complete the game, Ps3ers are waiting on the game and absolutely no news.

Football and hockey games are right around the corner, and I think they might miss their window here, well for me at least anyways.

Kind of disapointed. Really need that player edit feature, because rosters are so jacked up after trade deadline.

Konami has two great baseball games with pro spirits and the PP series. They gotta be able to get it together for us here in the u.s.

I don't know why they didn't just continue MLBPP. Alot of people would buy a 2011 version.
I'd buy the game even if it was just MLBPP08 with updated rosters.

Pretty soon, baseball season will be over, and we all know that people play sports games more regularly when that particular sport is in season.

Konami should have just launched both DLC packs at the All Star break.

That's what I'm saying. They are missing their window. Especially since the game had so much positive buzz.

I bought the game on release day and played a bit innitially but now i just dont have the urge to do it like i had on PowerPros...

I don´t know what it is... the magic it´s just not there, i don´t know if it´s the new bobblehead design of the players or just the fact that i couldn´t find a happy medium with the settings... the magic of PowerPros it´s just not there for me...

Yeah, they made too many mistakes here. They launched a limited version of Power Pros (no commentary, no franchise, less gameplay features), took away the cuteness factor of the players, made us buy the game in packs, and damn it... we don't even have a PSN version yet.

I'm okay with the timing being off, but I'm not so sure if they are. In other words, I don't know if they'll still be releasing this title if we hit September, especially if they expect big sales. We should definitely get a discount.

Oh, and if it releases and rosters aren't up to date (or can't be updated online), that's just messed up lol.

If you look at the XBLA sales charts, MLB Bobblehead Pros doesn't seem to be doing too well.

It's near the bottom of the rankings overall and is still listed on the 4th page:

Compare that to Backbreaker Vengeance, which was released around the same time, and Backbreaker is about midway up the charts on page 3.

I doubt we'll see a PS3 version of MLB Bobblehead Pros at this point.

Shame, because it really is my favorite baseball game this year.

No DLC again this week.

To summarize how poorly this game is doing in sales:

Tour de France 2009 is beating it by two spots in the XBLA sales charts

Sad that a licensed MLB game can't even outsell a two-year old cycling game.
