Is Power Pros 2016 Worth Importing on the PlayStation 4?

The fun factor, at least for me is through the roof. Games are quick, bugs are few or non existent and the game's framerate is excellent, very smooth, no jitters. The language barrier may be a bit much for some people but with the translation site as well as jyoung's videos one who has never played the series can be up and playing within a few minutes. I've played this game since the Dreamcast where I imported it and was able to play it on that system. I'll mainly be playing this game for my baseball fix in the future.

I've actually got a couple years on you and I'd sooner be gaming than playing whist or lawn bowling.

Or even golfing!

I wonder if they have any plans to port this over to an English version in the near future?

Considering Konami's financial struggles I highly doubt that happens.

I'd just as soon they continue to only make the game in Japan. As soon as the game would be made over here I'm afraid it would turn into another bug fest, with people more concerned about graphics and such than the gameplay itself.

English or nothing, hardly anyone cares over here if its not. Thats just the reality, Power Pros in 2008 was fun besides the career modes continuous reading of text.

I played spirits 2011. There were a lot of things that i liked about it. But the thing I was not in favor of was the hitting mechanic. Or, the way you read pitches in the game. Instead of reading the pitch and watching it break. in this game you just look at the ball icon, then move ur courser to it. Anyone else feel this way? It takes away the hitter/pitcher immersion for me.

I hear what your saying here but for me I've had to train myself to a little bit of both. You have to keep an eye on the ball icon to line up your batting cursor for sure. And, one has to watch the pitcher as well to gauge the speed of the pitch as well as watch out for the mistake pitch that is thrown right in the middle of your stationary batting cursor.

If one does just one or the other of these then failure is probable. One has to do a little bit of both which is challenging but also provides rewards in the hitting department.
