Customer Reviews
Could be fun but can't live up to it
Alright I bought this hoping for a fun easy baseball game, casual easy, well it is, fielding wise..... Batting is a complete disaster, at least for me, you have to time it perfectly which is a pain and if your off by a milisecond the ball will go out, and you can do this, and yes I counted, 20 times without messing up but it will go out. Now if happen to get lucky and get a good hit, it will pop up to the outfield and your more than likely to get out due to they can catch anything and everything. This game is fun but offense is a complete pain and takes forever to finally get down. If an update comes out that fixes the batting, then it would be a lot better and more enjoyable.
Fun but.....
The game is starting to crash on me. I've performed a reset when I downloaded didn't have problems until a couple days of playing. I'm not sure what someone else was saying about batting problems the game is TOO easy even on expert. Hopefully the developers of this game care more about the content then just getting a quick buck. PLEASE UPDATE!
1) more teams
2) playoff system
3) better game stability
4) don't make batting soooo easy
5) can we get a little more movement on a curveball?
This game has alot of potential and will be more appealing if half of these things could be added/fixed. Thank you for listening to my rant. Good night America.
Excellent first attempt
First off thank you konami for bringing this game to the iPhone. I'm really hoping this game sells well and we see additional changes and upgrades. I have power pros on the DS, wii and PS2. The ds version is pretty bad while I love the console versions. Here is my take on the iPhone version.
Good-
1. The power pro menu interface and graphical style
2. Announcers are great!
3. Best baseball gameplay on the iPhone.
4. Remains true to the original games on the consoles and handheld.
Bad-
1. Six teams? We need way more teams to play against.
2. Runs a bit slow at times on my 3G. Some very slight lag during batting.
3. No multiplayer support.
4. No RPG mode like on the consoles. This would be great for a portable device.
5. Can't edit players or create my own team:(
Overall I'm giving it a solid four stars due to the lack of multiplayer, no rpg mode and only six teams. Hopefully 2K sports gets there act together and releases an MLB version if they can. The price (4.99) is a good starting point. If they add the above features I pay 10-20 bucks easily.
