Yah, it's sad... would have liked at least one PYS game on the PS4 before they went full on mobile. It would have probably taken at least 2 or 3 years on the PS4 before they perfected things though.

I still have PYS10 and 12 on the PS3... already played through 2 seasons as the Softbank Hawks on 12. I kinda switched to MLB15 on the PS4 now since the graphics are so good now though, but IMO PYS still has the best pitching and fielding gameplay I have ever played in a baseball game.

I doubt this is the end of a Nippon Baseball game, lots of fans and the pro league probably wants a game made.
Konami hasn't changed anything sports game titles wise yet.

Be shocked if there isn't a PYS 16

Konami didn't bother renewing the J-League license for their football games, so NPB might be happy enough with the mobile title and Power Pros on PS4.

There was no console representation of J-League last year and looks like being none this year. Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution Soccer still does very well overseas though, so Japanese fans feeling aggrieved about the domestic situation ( and they are! ) isn't a huge concern for Konami.

I think it's 40 / 60 as far as PS4 goes for PYS. Seriously not expecting it, sadly.

Will see man, I think it looks better for a PYS on PS4 by showing PP for PS4.
Fox engine will only bring better sales for PYS it did for PES.

If it ever happens this will be my reason to finally buy a PS4

I was looking at PYS sales for 2015 and they did good considering it was only a PS3 version.
#39 on the sales chart.

So it's a money maker for Konami. Fox engine on PS4 should really bring sales. Again i see a PYS 2016 on console happening.

Konami said mobile was there main focus but never said they were done with consoles.

Fingers crossed!

I suppose as long as they have the Nippon license it would be a shame only using it on a mobile game.

On the topic of PYS15, i had some trouble hitting on higher pitch speeds. Instead of practicing all day, I tried switching from TV to my 27 PC screen and wow what a difference in reactions. My TV is 30ms slower on input and suddenly I could hit plenty of strikes on my PC screen.

Got a Sony Bravia this year and that's got quite a nice response time when working in conjunction with PlayStation and have to say PYS 2014 looked and felt amazing on it for a PS3 title. So 2015 with the real faces is a tempter.

Forgot how much I enjoyed this series. Everything's totally transparent in a good way. You know what the gameplay settings are doing, you know why you're failing etc. A real antidote to mysterious slider hell experienced in other titles.
