Arriving for the Xbox 360 today is MLB Bobblehead Pros which brings a new character look to the former MLB Power Pros series. As with all XBLA games a free trial can be played before making a purchase decision and in this case that involves a single game of Phillies vs Giants. MLB Bobblehead Pros is being sold for 800 MS points ($10). It will also be released on PSN though its arrival date there is unknown.

The game will be familiar to veterans of the the MLB Power Pros series which has an arcade skin but is a sim at heart. It plays similar just with the new ‘bobblehead’ models and includes all MLB licensing for teams and players. Developed by Konami included is a full 162 game season mode, local co-op, online play, and the offer of downloadable content packs (home run derby will be one) to come over the course of the summer to expand the feature set even further.

    Well, that is without question the best baseball experience on the Xbox 360 by far.

    I’ll be writing up full impressions over the next few days, but yeah this could be the most enjoyable baseball game this year (especially considering the cost). Certainly the best option on the 360. Just daunting having a 162 game season and no option for a shorter run.

    I bought this for the PS2 around 2007 (MLB Power Pros), I thought it was great.  Glad to see it on XBLA.

    The Yankee logo on the hat of who I assume to be Mark Teixeira is backwards. Pretty Pathetic.

    The realism in the game is crazy. Bobbleheads never look like the players their supposed to be and neither do these guys.

    I’m not a fan of how deceiving the menu is in the trial.

    You boot the game up and it shows you like 12 different menu options with all but Quick Game saying “Unlock Full Game” when you hover over them…

    However, once you unlock the full game, half of them are still locked out, now saying “Downloadable Content” instead when you hover over them.

    That’s really sleazy on Konami’s part as what it says in the trial version implies that those modes are in the full game so unless they’re going to come as free DLC (which I have my doubts about), you’re being charged for something that is technically advertised as being included.

    I’d rather they just not include the menu options at all until you download the content.

    Otherwise, the game is great, though the fielding is kind of wonky. Pitching and batting are quite enjoyable.

    just played a game online.  extremely fun.  haven’t had this much fun on an xbox baseball game.

    I love how home run derby is now an add on feature.  As if it hasn’t been in every baseball game for the last 20 years.

      There’s always the slight possibility that it could be free DLC but yes, if they charge for it, that’s pretty crappy.

    Does the season mode have full stat tracking and the option for additional seasons? Just curious.

    • Gdrojas

      Well seeing as one of the achievements is to play 5 full seasons, I think that answers your question.

      • Tunes522

        Play 5 years in Season Mode. Which doesn’t necessarily answer my question as it could be construed as five seasons in five separate season modes or five seasons in a single season mode. And that still says nothing about stat tracking.

    Tried it loved the gameplay, so I bought it now I am not happy to find out that some of the content is DLC that has’t been released yet. Depending on the price later and the options my mind can be chnaged but for now the gameplay is a 9 and everythign else is 2
