You Want Hardcore? I Got Your Hardcore R ...

MLB Power Pros.I play all kinds of sports games and when it comes to baseball nothing is as deep as this game. This game is the epitome of what a hardcore gamer needs. Sure it's easy to pick up and play but scratch that surface a little and you are in for a baseballapalooza. Not only is this game for the hardcore but if you drop a brick on it the brick breaks and then files assault and battery charges against it.Novice games? Don't let me scare you. You're going to get a ton out of this game too. Like the baseball in Wi sports? Want to play a game like that? Want to import your Mii's when you do? Then this is the title for you. Heck there's even a way to have a home run derby using the Wiimote motions.Gamers still there? CoolsvilleThere is a ton to do in this game. Let's start with the fact that there's no motion control in the main game and you'll be using a controller the ''standard way'' what controller? Well the Wiimote and chuck, Classic Controller, or the Gamecube controller.Now for games modes what are you looking for?Want practice? Got it. Want home run derby? Got it. Want to play a season? Got it. Want to play seasons for a decade? Got it. Want to play as a freshman in college and make it to the pros? Got it. Want to make a league of up to 6 different player controlled teams to make a run to a championship? Got it. Heck, want to play just one exhibition game? Got that too.How much are you into character customization?Think that Arod's stats should be tweaked a little after the season he had? Go do it. Think that Ryan Howard's swing for the fences needs to be at a different angle for Coors Field? Don't let me stop you. I know I know, you've been waiting for the baseball game that let's you make your own team then create Ted Williams to play alongside Willie Mays and Joe Dimaggio in the outfield. It's here.The gameplay mechanics are great. Click the button to switch between knocking a ball into play or hit the long ball. This isn't just swing the bat when ready, you have to make sure the ball hits the sweet spot on the bat if you want to get on base. If you're looking to pop up a fly to score a run aim that sweet spot a centimeter under the ball, not too much or the catcher is going to make the out.Running bases is an uncomplicated method of hitting the control pad while directing traffic with the thumbstick to control one or all runners.Pitching is great also. pick the pitch and then very gingerly aim with the thumbstick. Paint the outisde of the plate or throw a four seamer down the middle and challenge the batter.Fielding is intuitive and lets you dive and jump for differently hit balls. Throwing to bases is simple by hitting the control pad.This isn't even all this game provides the games but I'd bore you (maybe) if I explain it all. Words do not do this game justice.MLB Power Pros fits the needs of all gamers. To the most novice player to the hardest of hardcore.You Want Hardcore? I Got Your Hardcore R ...
i agree.You Want Hardcore? I Got Your Hardcore R ...
lmfao
So... I take it you like this game. ;)I thought it looked pretty fun, too. Glad to hear it doesn't disappoint.
Kind tough to call a baseball game hardcore. Seems like most of those features are pretty common in sports games these days.Do a search for ''Baseball'' on gamespot. 419 games show up.

Don't let the kiddie looking graphics fool you. I would put this game up against any of the EA or 2K baseball games. It's just an addicting game and it has everything a HARDCORE baseball fan would want. Hardcore games don't have to be limited to FPS's and violence and gore. You can sit for hours setting up practice groups, going through endless stats, etc. It's a very well done game.

Funny what you have written here is about more indepth than what Gamespot put in their review which was about two weeks after the game was released. A much better review is here: http://wii.ign.com/articles/825/825828p1.html

can i ask what you are ''lmfao'' about?
good review wrong place
I looks alright, but it's just not the type of baseball game I'm looking for..
nah maybe in united states baseball is hardcore but nof for us lads in europe(maybe i will rent it but i dont like baseball)from what i have seen till now for the wii i believe only zelda,metroid,re4 are hardcore games(i think spm/trauma center were awesome but they are casual games for me) anyway sth that maybe will fit the topic in the future and i dont want to open new thread: i have done some research today about the new suikoden vi and it seems there are alot of rumors of it coming to the wii.if this happens then this will be hardcore .allot of speculations say that the creator said they hadnt decided about the platform for suikoden vi (suikoden 1 was multi platform)and konami wants a share of wii's money(pes 2008),also if they make it for the ps3 it will beshadowed by the ffxiii so why not make it for the wii?i believe that many rpgs will follow since we got monster hunter 3/also i read about nippon ichi will release wii titles,if we get the new suikoden(konami) and breath of fire(capcom) or even megaman legends 3(capcom)
