Yeah, they don't really want to bring back a series that wasn't that successful, even if the biggest reason for it's lack of success is the complete lack of advertising.

Most people who have played the game have liked it and most other people haven't even heard of it because it wasn't advertised. I've had people that don't even like baseball try it and get addicted to the success mode.


Yeah, only advertisement I ever saw for the game was in a Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine back in 2007. Never saw one for 2008.

It's really 2k's fault, they really could've marketed to kids and it would've made a pretty big profit, but they chose not to market the games at all.

I don't think it would have made a pretty big profit. But advertising would have increased sales. The question is, does it increase profits? Do any extra sales outweigh the advertising costs? Or maybe they can't change their budget, so they take away advertising money from 2Kwhatever and put it towards Power Pros. Is the loss of potential 2K sales worth the gain in Power Pros sales (which, it's worthy to note that 2K retailed for 50% more than Power Pros. $60 compared to $40). I mean, a TV ad is out of the question, and too many internet ads would be as well. A few ads in SI Kids pretty much hits their target audience. Kids interested in sports.

But if Power Pros 2007 wasn't successful, they would not have made a sequel. Was Power Pros 2008 not successful so they canned it or what? That's what I'm asking myself.

You ask these questions as though we're in charge of 2K. Maybe they saw the good reviews and thought it would be a good idea to give it one more chance. Maybe the cost to make the game was much cheaper than we thought. Maybe they had already budgeted out enough money to make two games. We really don't know. We can only go on assumptions and logic.

Are you saying it's wrong to talk to a bag of Skittles? Because if so, I'm going to need to rethink a lot of things. :P

I agree with my good friend, Diane Ortiz. Japanese wives of husbands sent to work in California who attend floral design college would LOVE power pros 2014!!! And to fit in with American culture and master international language, they'd prefer it in English!

Nicely-said, Diane. Case closed!!!

Do you think I didn't know it? And the second part was about the game, the original subject of the thread
