We should include a small MLB Power Pros Game included with a Metal Gear game. That would improve sales.

So here's my stab at making the description more flowery:

"In 2007 and 2008, Konami and 2K sports released an MLB-based, English language version of its long-running Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyu game for PS2 and Wii. This game was titled MLB Power Pros. While the graphics were simplistic, the gameplay was fantastic and addictive, with solid ball physics, easy to master controls, and significant depth. These two games touched many fans, from young kids looking for an easy to play baseball game with their favorite MLB stars, to older 20s and 30s men who had grown up on similar games like RBI Baseball. MLB Power Pros let you play out a single player's career, or a team through seasons, or a custom league, or a single player's path to the majors and success.

This game succeeded where other titles like The Bigs and MLB2K failed, because the gameplay and mechanics were simplistic enough to welcome the newcomer, but gameplay was challenging enough to keep you enthralled for years. The game prioritized mechanics and playability over realistic graphics, and the result was a big winner. In the time since its release, the community of fans and lovers of the game has only increased, with entire forums dedicated to updating the rosters and making today's young stars for input into the game. Unfortunately, Konami has not released further US installments.

We have created this petition to ask Konami to explore creating another US version of MLB Power Pros. The similarly themed MLB Bobblehead Pros is no longer available, and we feel this is the perfect time for Konami to release an updated version for 2015. The game is still being produced in the Japanese variant, meaning that the gameplay system - and any improvements over the last 6 years - is still sound. Only MLB rosters, likenesses, and voicing is needed. This means a relatively simple path to release - even if that release is only direct via Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation store, and the like. If a full game release is necessary, roster updates could be handled by DLC, generating additional revenue. New players, Cuban or Japanese free agents that are signed, or minor leaguers that are brought up, could all be handled via DLC, generating additional income.

This game series is too good to fall into obscurity. Please help Konami realize that the community interested in this game has grown with time, and that US consumers can look past simplistic graphics to appreciate great gameplay."

Edits/thoughts welcome...


This is perfect AOW! Exactly what we need in the description.

Sure I will. Although my hand almost fell off writing it down.

Why would you actually be writing it?

Post subject:  Re: Petition?

Because I have no commonsense to copy and paste :p

But I don't think I can do that on a ps4.
