2K Sports has announced an agreement with Konami to publish ‘MLB Power Pros’ in North American this Fall on Nintendo Wii and Playstation 2. ‘MLB Power Pros’ is based on the popular Power Pros series in Japan and developed by Konami’s Japanese studio.
For the game, Konami Japan has rendered every MLB player as a “miniature toy-like figurine model” complete with signature expressions. These goofy caricature players can be used in a dozen different gameplay modes, some of which are highlighted below from the press release.
“With Season Mode, players become an MLB team general manager with the goal of winning the World Series by controlling all aspects of the team including training players, purchasing better equipment, making trades, and much more. Success Mode combines traditional role-playing elements with baseball scenarios to create one of the most unique and compelling game modes in any sports title. This story-based mode puts the user in the role of a college baseball player with the goal of becoming a Major League player – gamers will train the player in numerous games while dealing with real-world situations of academics, part-time jobs, and other social situations.”
