MLB Bobblehead Pros Videos

As I continue to put time in with MLB Bobblehead Pros (which released today on XBLA) to form full impressions here are a couple gameplay videos in the meantime. It took me a couple games hitting nearly all grounders before I learned of a power swing, so you’ll notice the ground outs are frequent on my end. Featured here are segments of Yankees at White Sox, Brewers at Reds, and a second Brewers at Reds but in the rain.

Quick thoughts on the game though – it’s very fun and plays largely sim despite the arcade style visuals. I had to pull my pitcher after 5 1/3 innings having crossed 100 pitches and that right there demonstrates that Bobblehead Pros isn’t such an over-the-top experience. There are some issues – and being forced into a full 162 game season is daunting – but the fun factor is high.

    This game is so worth the $10! Its way better than MLB 2K11 and that was $60 down the drain.

    Can you turn off that guess pitch stuff and just hit with timing?

      I’m positive I saw a ‘swing only’ option in the pre-game menus that turned off the cursor.

    I’m glad this game made a return. I enjoyed the power pros on the Wii and even tho I like the cartoony amine in the Wii version this version looks very good. That damn bobbling is gonna be annoying tho…!

    Pasta, what are the game modes on there? I know you mentioned HR Derby would be a download. I hope it’s free.

    “Season” mode is very stripped down from MLB PP 2008: no trading, MLB/AAA management, or drafting new players.  It literally means that you pick a team and are with that exact team for 162 games.

    You do get to set your lineups, use a full pitching rotation, etc… but I was very disappointed to learn just how stripped down it was from Power Pros season mode.  Still, definitely worth $10 and who knows… maybe this is the first step to a meatier PP offering in the future?

      Thanks for the in-depth on that one. I’m still interested in purchasing but damn…no trading and ya stuck with the original group….that truly sucks. Well, i appreciate the heads up and not being surprised and disappointed.

    Wonder why the Braves are rated so poorly and the Dodgers rated so highly.
