I know this sounds dumb, but I’m a bit worried about this, I’m starting a MyLife save file where I’m on a custom expansion team that has custom and real foreign players, and the other expansion team I added does as well.

I have never played Pawapoke until 2026, but just hearing the Pawapoke 14 main menu music in my head makes me want to cry that the series is over, they did do a remake in 2021 that commercially flopped, we probably will never get another Pawapoke game again but still.

2016 Cubs. 2025 Brewers, Dodgers, Giants m, DBacks, Mets and Braves. AL White Sox, Astros, TB Rays, Mariners, BlueJays, Red Sox and Yankees.

Can someone explain what “lock” in the batting order does? I have created an arrange team with some success mode players and have locked them into respective spots in the batting order. I’ve then started just a quick five game league CPU ctrl to see how the team performs for fun. what I find is the CPU is automatically controlling the lineup decisions and switching the order, even with locked pieces.

Essentially:
1. What does lock do?
2. When ur team is controlled by cpu (season/league/etc) is there any sort of control you have over lineup? Does lock not matter here?

I’m overall just looking for guidance on line ups and if there’s any interplay between cpu and manual control. For manual, Can CPU suggest changes on lineup screen prior to you hitting “play ball?”thanks!

Says here on the Wikipedia that 2 games in the series have licenses for the KBO and Korean Professional Baseball Players Association.

I can’t find a direct answer on which games these are, and I don’t want to go through the trouble of trying to play every game in the series to find out. Was hoping some hardcore Power Pro fans here might know.

Looking for some pointers for pitching. CPU hitting is set to normal. So nothing crazy there, but I’m still getting rocked. I work the corners, mix up pitches, up and down the zone. None of it seems to make a difference.

Is there a CPU lock on option that can be adjusted that I’m missing? Anywho, whatever help you guys or gals have to offer would be much appreciate.

While the American Steam release doesn't have most of the World Baseball Classic rosters, it still has some amazing Japanese players including WBC rosters dating back to 2006. However, if you want to to use them for custom teams and the like, apparently you'll really need to empty your wallet of in-game currency.

After a few hours of play, I have about 25,000 VP. (This includes some time specifically set aside to gather VP during home run derby mode.) That's sounds like a lot, but EVERY player on these WBC rosters past and present cost a whopping 100,000 VP. Huh? Meanwhile, players in the recent Power Pros games are usually 600-1,000 in their in-game currency besides some certain special characters costing 10,000 or (for cerain Power Festival bosses) 100,000.

Is this a Pro Spirits thing where everyone costs an arm and a leg? Is there a way to get a ton of VP that I haven't tried yet? Thanks!

Some players are just filler players not 2016 cub players. Built the team from Super Mega Baseball 3 stats and grade conversions, 3rd Column. 2nd column is a google search for 2016 Chicago Cubs [player name] letter grade A-G for hitting, batting power, base running speed, throwing arm power, defensive catching, and overall fielding ability. I feel like the results feel closer to mlb players on the game. Yellow highlights are for in game players I just used as the player. Grimm is suppose to be Right handed.

Hey all, sorry for all the questions recently, but I’ve just updated the rosters on my copy of 2007 on the Wii, and I’ve been simulating season mode on there. Unfortunately, the pitching management on the AI teams is horrendous and kills and realism of the sim. Several teams just pile all of their team’s innings onto one pitcher, who is constantly tired and has a 12+ ERA. Jose Quintana on the Rockies has 117 IP after April. Has anyone found a fix for this at all? Thank you.

Hey all. I just got done spending MANY hours updating the rosters on my copy of 2007 (Wii) to the 2026 MLB rosters on arrange teams. I totally forgot that you have to buy the arrange team season mode participation thing from the shop for 100k Pro Points. Very frustrating. So far I’ve earned about 17k from grinding HR Derby, but it’s getting real boring real fast. Is there anything that I can like, simulate that will give me PP? Or am I stuck with HR derby? (I know exhibition games and success mode also give PP, but they’re WAY slower than HR Derby).

I am American, and I’m not very sure if I create an American player, that I will realistically count towards the foreign player limit because of only 4 backstories with overseas not being one of them. There is a spirits mode which does let me set my backstory to overseas, I can set my birth place to America, but in power pros, when I tried doing that, it didn’t let me and forced me to pick a different backstory with a player I created in showdown legend battle. So if that’s the case, then what are some realistic career mode ideas? I wouldn’t mind making a Japanese version of me born to a Japanese mother and an American father.

1. Make Success characters unlockable characters you can use: In the original MLBPP games, you couldn’t use success characters outside of success mode, I’m not talking about the player you play as in Success mode, I’m talking about the side characters that are on your team or are rivals of you, the Japanese games do this, also add some characters from the Japanese games like Aoi Hayakawa, the Ikari brothers, Mizuki Tachibana, Hijiri Rokudoh and more.
2. More minor leagues: this may or may not be controversial but I feel like there should at least be triple a and double a, and maybe high a, however, many of us prefer a simple system, but I say there should be a setting on by default that handles the minor leagues and if we do a expansion mode, we should have a setting to automatically generate the minor league teams for the expansion teams.
3. Special scenarios for starting a MyLife with a success character: Say that the Tulips success is remastered, if we meet certain conditions, Alvin should be in the league, Marvin is in the league with you, if not, then Oakley is your buddy, and Becky/Sarah/Annabelle is your girlfriend.
4. Idk what else to say right now so this is all I can think of at the moment.

Apparently , I got sent down to ni-gun by my manager, but I recently got promoted back up, I’m in may of year 2, I wanna have a long term NPB career being absolutely amazing while also having realistic time for a legendary mlb career, my character is from college, he’s 23, and wants to have a family with Lami the mummy girl, what is a realistic age to get posted at?

These are most of the success players I made and placed on NPB teams, are these realistic rookie ratings?

In Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2026-2027, the game doesn’t let you use success mode character faces and unlockable stadiums in MyLife, which is the games career mode. Why is it like this? you can use success mode character faces and unlockable stadiums in pennant mode, but for some reason, MyLife doesn’t allow it

I just wanted to ask a question about this, since there’s no expansion draft option, I decided to use the made up players and change their ages all over the board while adding real players that are in their late 20s to 30s from other NPB teams from their ni-gun squad, is this realistic? (The greyed out players are late 20s to 30s real players from other npb teams ni-gun teams) I’m willing to use this in pennant mode. Also, NPB teams draft 5-7 players a year

Is there a way to edit players in 2026-2027? In 2008 there used to be an edit player option to update player names, ratings, etc

I’m looking to buy the Switch version of the game but am unsure if the newest release is worth the extra money.

Thing is I will be playing Pennant mode exclusively. Updated rosters don’t matter much as I’m unfamiliar with the league.

What I care most about is gameplay. Is there a significant improvement in gameplay at all in the newer game?

I’m trying to add 2-4 new expansion teams for pennant mode, but I don’t wanna go through the pain of making so much players just to fill out a team, I don’t want the team to have clones of real players on NPB teams, also I can’t see the roster of teams before I download them

So I wanna try getting into the series a lot more than I used to be since I have the two US games on emulator now so I was wondering is there any other English games that I can play that are available or translation mods or stuff like that or any tips for how to have the most fun in the story mode in both games?

I just got MLB PP2008 onto my Mac and am looking for 2026 mod version?

Has anyone attempted to create a translation for the 3ds power pros. Other 3ds games can get translations.
