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.

Feels like there's a high-scoring game every time..
Watching demo mode and Nationals have 6-0 lead off Hiroki Kuroda with 1 out in 1st..

UNBELIEVEBLE!!!! Really Konami??? 162 games??? Jesus...

another game that i will never finish a season because i�ll change teams after 30 games...

I just started a season and the Pirates blasted the Cubs 8-5. The Cubs starting pitching was atrocious, and the they had 2 errors in the field. You can't ask a game to be anymore realistic than that.

Yeah, the "bobbing" makes batting a bit confusing..
I'll admit the idea of co-op is interesting.

Yeah....I won't use a co-op more than maybe 2 or 3 times, but at least they included it. A little confused over not having any season shorter than 162 games myself, but I have a feeling that I might actually finish a season on this game.

A Pasta Padre review of MLB Bobblehead Pros's release:

"The game will be familiar to veterans of the the MLB Power Pros series which has an arcade skin but is a sim at heart. It plays similar just with the new �bobblehead� models and includes all MLB licensing for teams and players. Developed by Konami included is a full 162 game season mode, local co-op, online play, and the offer of downloadable content packs (home run derby will be one) to come over the course of the summer to expand the feature set even further."

I expect Home Run Derby and My Bobble will be part of a downloadable pack sometime after the All-Star Break, but I have no idea when we'll be able to use the "Edit Player" feature. I hope sometime soon.

From what I saw, I expect "My Bobble" to be a MLB Life-like mode, but I'm not sure if you can be your own player. I'm thinking you can only be an MLB player.
Reguardless, I'm interested to see how it translates to XBOX.

The definition: "Play through a full season as your favorite player. You will control all of your player's big moments."

Here's OS's review of MLB Bobblehead Pros's release:

"Back at E3, I previewed MLB Bobblehead Pros and pretty much could not say enough nice things about it. Konami's Power Pros baseball franchise is beloved for all the right reasons, and this $10 XBLA arcade game seems to be just another way for more people to experience the franchise.

Many folks may have missed out on the series because it has mostly been known for being released on Nintendo platforms this generation, but it's a simulation baseball series that is hidden under a cartoon-like graphical facade. While this version is not quite as in-depth as some of the earlier retail versions of the game, it seems like there is still local co-op online, an edit player feature (although it seems to be locked when you first play the game), full 162-game season and create-a-team elements as well.

Some members here at Operation Sports have already picked up the title and have some nice things to say about it.

There is a demo for folks to try, and it appears more content will be coming to the game later in the summer. Some of the content coming at a later date includes a home run derby, as well as My Bobble mode, which seems like it will be some sort of career mode where you control one single player for a whole season. I doubt it will be as in depth as "The Life" mode found in other Power Pros games, but it would still be a welcomed addition regardless.

Lastly, while the Xbox Live Arcade version is the only one out right now, it seems like a PS3 version will be coming at a later date."

So, yeah, we can expect a PS3 version to come out later, as some of you guys have wondered.
