News: More big head baseball.
2K Games has announced they will be bringing Japanese-style "big head baseball" back to the PlayStation 2 and Wii this July with MLB Power Pros 2008. A DS version will be released this Fall.
MLB Power Pros 2008 will include a huge variety of modes including the standard Practice, Exhibition, League and Home Run Challenge. The game will also include a ton of "story-based" modes, such as:
Success Mode: fans can participate in a story-based career of rising players in the Double-A Minor League system trying to improve their baseball skills and make an impression on baseball scouts while also having to balance various situations in their personal lives. Through a variety of amusing training and game challenges, players who complete Success mode will also be able to take their created player files into MLB Life as well, or also play as either an existing Major League Baseball player in Dream Mode, or start as a rookie in Major League Career mode.
MLB Life: A story-based mode that will allow fans the possibility to simulate the exciting life and experience of being a Major League Baseball player over the course of a 20-year career. While continuing to play in games through the regular baseball season, players will also participate in a number of realistic situations such as signing contracts, purchasing houses and cars, making charitable donations, building up relationships with friends and teammates, picking up hobbies and much more.
Players will also have the ability to import their Mii into the games Create-A-Player mode.
