OS at E3: MLB Bobblehead Pros Preview

03:00 PM - June 9, 2011 by ChaseB

MLB Power Pros is back. Fans of the series know that Konami's baseball franchise is a fantastic simulation hidden behind cartoon-like graphics, and Konami's MLB Bobblehead Pros looks to add to the ridiculous graphics while retaining that authentic gameplay goodness.

Thank god!! For the past 3 years iv bought the show and just ended up playing power pros instead. Can't wait for this.

# 2 ExtremeGamer @ 06/09/11 03:48 PM

SOLD! Now I can't wait for this game. Love Power Pros!

# 3 therockstar2005 @ 06/09/11 03:56 PM

Awesome! Loved Power Pros on Wii, and even more excited that this will be a downloadable game. Cannot wait.

Finally, a good baseball simulation on the 360!

# 5 Blzer @ 06/09/11 04:55 PM

This isn't even a question. I would get it for $60 on release day. I've been waiting so long for this!

I also just read this from an article dated last week on TeamXbox:

Quote:


	The first of three games to be released is MLB Bobblehead Pros which will be available soon, MLB Bobblehead Stars will be a DLC pack available around the MLB All-Star Game in July. The third game, MLB Bobblehead Battle, will feature a batting battle that will be out later this year.

And it also mentioned "selecting favorite individual players" as well, so in accordance with Chase's article it doesn't exactly sound like the full-fledged game we remember from the past, which is slightly unfortunate. I would still love the same commentary and being able to have my players practice, etc. Hopefully streaks/slumps are still in as well.

I basically would like to have the same game we used to have with a 16:9 & 720p option, as well as removing the black screen transition when putting the ball in play if possible.

Either way, I'm getting this game day one.

So is this PS3 as well or only xbox?

whatever happened to 2k bringing over that MLB game that was on the Wii and PS2... I never got a chance to play that game but it looked pretty good

I assume both but the press release I read only mentioned 360.

If so... ****.

EDIT: Looks like that might be the case EG, based on what this info displays:

Anyone miss the cute big eyes on these players?

Yeah, I'm going off original press release, but both demo kiosks at the show were 360, so who knows.

Hopefully this is the case because I will definitely get this game this summer. As soon as I read "Power Pros" this game became a instant buy for me.

Just because the Mets suck IRL doesn't mean he/she had to make them look bad.

The Mets suck at everything.

# 16 bluengold34_OS @ 06/10/11 11:12 AM

Yes...this has become an instant purchase for me. I played the hell out of the Power Pro series, and this looks to be in the same mold. I wish they would say when it's coming out....all they keep saying is soon.

# 17 tvman @ 06/10/11 11:49 AM

Can you imagine the hype around here if Konami could make a MLB game based off PYS.

By the way has a price been announced yet?

For real.

I hope that there is a way to turn off the bobble on the bobble heads. That could get annoying by about the 2nd inning.

I hope so too, the bobbing of heads is annoying and distracting.
