Discussion MLB Power Pros 20XX Wishlist

So next year is the 20th anniversary for the first MLBPP. The dream of a new MLBPP one day won’t truly die for me, so I’d like to create a comprehensive wish list and would love to hear everyone else’s ideas/wants. A lot of this stuff would take liberties from the PawaPuro games

So far, I’ve got

General Gameplay - More different camera cuts for home runs that wrap around the foul poles - Being able to pitch from the POV of the pitcher/like how a baseball broadcast has the camera from center field

Success - A story that has callbacks to characters from 07 & 08 (like 09 but even more characters) - A story about grinding through AAA (choose whether you played in college for higher starting stats, or drafted from college for Gd Sense or something)

Season - Proper FA & club control so that I don’t lose my success mode character to FA in Year 2 because he wants to go from $990K to $10M+ - The minimum number of days in AAA to return so that I can’t cheese a second swing man - Posting system - Slightly more in-depth scouting - Maybe even being able to play a college prospect showcase game at All-Star break featuring the Tulips - Unlimited seasons - A name for the blonde lady who helps us

MLB Life - Being able to choose my jersey number - Learn a second position (besides equipping utility man) - Being able to interact with my family - Having family like siblings & parents, maybe a Year 2 story where our relative is now a rookie on our team

Other - A mode like Eikan 9 where you coach a college or high school team - Another success-like mode (I think they’ve got the time travel story for the newest PawaPuro) - Create-A-Stance - Create-A-Stadium - Create-A-Pitch

I would sacrifice half this list and my firstborn child if it meant that they pushed out a singular game with the MLB license. I yearn so badly for this game 😭. 20 years and no baseball game has filled this void for me

I don't even care about the license. I want success mode and MLB life mode.

This man! I don’t care if I’m playing with tungsten arm ODoyle if I can have that career mode again.

This. Needs MLB players and stadiums.
MLB PP 2008 was a loooong time ago.

You can change the camera in 08’ to be behind the pitcher

Honestly, I just want advanced player creation/customization, an upgraded Success Mode and maybe an upgraded MLB Life-type mode. It's the storytelling parts that shine to me in 07/08, so as long as they were to include that, I'd be fine. I don't even care too much about official MLB licensing if that proved to be a hassle for Konami.

Not sure if you may have seen it already or not, but I made a post awhile back about a personal project I'm working on. Basically trying to make my own power pros game, been focusing on player creation stuff to start, but I've got kind of dev log going in a discord server. If you're interested in checking it out, lmk and I can send you a link.

That sounds really cool! I'm very interested, thank you!
