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

I just saw this today for the first time in Minute Maid Park:

There is an celebration animation featuring the choo-choo train whenever Houston hits a home run.

Ok, so I fired this up the other day for the first time in ages. Did they pull the DLC? I tried clicking on it through the in game menu and the Xbox Guide Window pops up but it's empty. I also tried searching the Marketplace and the game itself doesn't even show up, let alone the DLC. I still love this game but updated rosters would be nice.

Any word on a new game?

The game and all the DLC associated with it were pulled from the marketplace in January.

So you can only redownload things you've already bought at this point.

No new games are planned for the USA aside from the Android/Iphone World Baseball Classic cell phone game.

Konami will likely put out a new Japanese version of Power Pros for the PS3/Vita in a few months.

Crap. Do you know the reason?

Any word on a new version or a new Power Pros for consoles (Vita included)?

The game wasn't selling enough copies to make it worth renewing the MLB license for another year.

So when the MLB license expired, they simply delisted the game.

One thing I would be interested in trying is to send a direct invite to someone to see if they can download the DLC after being sent an invite. That method used to work on certain delisted games back in the day. If anyone has the Home Run Derby DLC, send me a friend request and we can try to make that method work.

That sounds interesting. I'd be curious if that worked too.

Also, my mind is foggy because I'm old. Is it true you can only edit rosters of you bought the second DLC or was that DLC for something else? I thought I remember editing some players on my Orioles roster.

It's a shame this game didn't do we. I wasn't a fan of the Bobbleheads but the game is so much fun. I love the Power Pro games so easy to play but so deep s well.

Yep, the only way to edit rosters is if you have the Bobblehead Battle DLC purchased.

Without having the DLC bought, the only changes you can make to the roster is trades.

If you ever want to play online or try to get the DLC downloaded by using an invite just let me know. I'm free all weekend.

Cool. I might have to do that. Thanks!
