2K Sports proudly announced that MLB Power Pros is now available in stores for Nintendo’s Wii and PlayStation 2. The launch of MLB Power Pros marks the first time this franchise has become available to baseball fans in North America. Every MLB player and ballpark is represented in the game, bringing an original visual style to America’s favorite pastime. MLB players are portrayed in a distinct visual style that uses mini-models of pro players with charming facial expressions and hairstyles to bring the characters to life. With easy to pick-up-and-play pitching and hitting controls, MLB Power Pros is baseball fun for the whole family.

MLB Power Pros offers unique gameplay modes that allow players to be a part of the action as the general manager or as an up-and-coming baseball recruit. Through trades, extra practices, and buying new equipment, players in the Season Mode manage every aspect of their team to bring in money, win playoff games and eventually, earn the title of World Series champion. In Success Mode, gamers become college players, hoping to get recruited to the Big Leagues. Players train to build their skill sets while also balancing their academic and personal lives.

MLB Power Pros also includes modes specifically made for the Wii. Players can hit and pitch using the motions of the Wii Remote in Home Run Challenge and Match-up Mode. MLB Power Pros even allows gamers to import Wii-based character avatars called Miis from their Wii or Wii Remote to become part of the action!
