Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2012: Is the Japanese Baseball Sim Right for You?

I just wish PYS had an English version. I don't have the patience to deal with translating, even with Spirit's great website. I would definately try PYS if there was a version in English.

Honestly, once you find the settings that you like and save them, it's pretty easy to just pick up and play the way you like. At the same time though, I definitely wish more text was in English, especially player names & positions. Don't know why they changed that in 2012.

You don't need to know any Japanese to play the game but there is a mode or two that is rather difficult to get into unless you do. Exhibition and Full Seasons play just fine w/o knowing any Japanese.

This game, and series looks great. I have been doing research, now that the MLB license is open for all, on what Japanese made games could easily be converted over to the US. The more videos I see of this series the more I hope it comes over.

Now that PYS 2014 has been announced, PYS 2013 should be dropping in price and be cheaper to import soon.

2013 was a good bit better than 2012 imo, hitting more varied and in general a little easier to get into for newcomers. So if anyone's thinking about getting 2012 maybe hold off a little while.

I Prefer The Show Over This Because It Had Actual MLB Players In The Game

Disappointed to hear that the next version of the game will not be available for the PS4, the only Sony console I own.

Vitas have come down in price quite considerably recently, and there's the potential crossplay on other future titles with your PS4, so maybe worth thinking about picking one up if finances allow?

Played my first game of Vita PYS in about 5 months and the game ended in a 1-1 tie after 12 innings. My first ever pennant mode tie!
