This mode is primarily story driven, and you'll only play a few games in between training modes and story elements. In addition to practicing everyday and playing games, you will have to deal with real-life situations like finding a part-time job, maintaining your childhood friends, and, of course, keeping your baseball skills up and impressing the coaches. This mode begins with you creating a character who has just been signed on to the minor leagues. The most casual of all these modes is probably Success mode. Each of these modes plays like a mixture of classic sports play and RPG, and each targets a different type of player. Essentially, there are three big ways to play single-player: Success mode, Season mode, and the all-new MLB Life mode.

There is no single way to play this game, and it is pretty easy to get overwhelmed at the mere sight of the menu with its buffet of options. Last year's initial American offering of this Japanese-rooted franchise was a delight to play, and this year's iteration brings the same style as last year, with just enough new substance to make it worth your while.įor the uninitiated, MLB Power Pros is basically a uniquely styled Baseball-sim with heavy RPG elements and surprisingly deep gameplay. While it is true many games based on sports are very technical and have tons of appeal as hardcore simulations of their sport, I find that none really capture the joy and fun of their respective sport quite like MLB Power Pros has.
