In March, Operation Sports held a staff roundtable discussing which baseball games we had played for a full 162 game season.

At the time, I had only accomplished the feat in one game: Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super Nintendo.

A few weeks ago, I added a second game to my list: MLB Bobblehead Pros for the Xbox 360.

Here are some aspects, both good and bad, that stand out as I look back on my season with the Milwaukee Brewers in Konami's latest Power Pros game.

this is a fun game, but there's no longevity because it lacks the ability to trade, release, and pick up free agents, think i played about 5 games through a season then got bored with it

I like the game but I'm sour on it because it's impossible to draw a walk.

I still go through phases where I play this for a week or two straight. I also usually start a "franchise" in power pros 2008 with fantasy draft every baseball season but never finish. Can never find the right difficulty to keep me interested.

It all depends on the pitcher/batter matchup. The power hitters on my Brewers team frequently get pitched around. I've also found that the CPU likes to walk your #8 hitter so it can get to the pitcher.

I want to make a quick comment on this because I am actually playing this game as I type and I am in the middle of September in my season with the Cardinals. This game is PHENOMENAL in my opinon! I am not even a fan of basball but the pace of this game and the gameplay is a perfect fit for a fun experience.

The stadiums in this game are incedible detailed. Also, as you play more and more there is a lot of "little things" that you would be suprised are in a game like this. For example, I was playing the Giants at their stadium and hit a MONSTER homerun with Pujols. As the ball left the stadium I was waiting to hear that typical "thud" sound the ball makes but I hear a "kerplunk" for the ball going into the water. I thought that was pretty cool!

I am not even a fan of baseball and have only owned 2-3 baseball games in my life and didnt get into any of them. This game is a must buy for $10 if you are a fan of sports games. I love it!

Love this game. The odd graphics turn some off, but the under the hood baseball game is outstanding.
