Check out MLB Power Pros! It's been the most popular series in Japan for years now, and despite its funky graphics, the gameplay is realistic and the game is really deep.

Honestly, I think these big name realistic sports sims are mostly overrated.

well ive never actually had any interest in much sports games since last generation. this game seems like it should have more hype than its getting. in my community, 2k sport is looked down upon for some reason. are 2k sport games better than the EA sports games?

I put money down on it on monday, they didn't have the Jose Reyes bobble heads, but they better have them when I pick the game up on tuesday or we're gonna have a problem!!! :mad5:

Also, I've heard the Wii version doesn't have the trading card thing or minor league teams.
