MLB Power Pros 2008 : Making a Knuckleballer (part 1)

I'm addicting to MLB Power Pros 2008 right now, and I don't even like baseball!

I'm a soccer fan since I was a first grader, then became a basketball fan right after I got into a university. There is absolutely no baseball in my good old home country. The only two big things in sport there are soccer, which partly because of massive gambling rings there, and boxing. Nobody plays baseball there, at least there still is softball. The only source of baseball is from Japanese cartoon in which does not help increasing baseball popularity a bit. I'm from that country and I'm still learning and still don't understand most of baseball technical terms.

Then there comes an ultimate baseball game for dummies.

While the graphic, which I don't care much, is not so good as other brands such as MLB 2K8 or MLB 08, I really enjoy this game. Pitching is easy to learn and understand. Batting is pretty hard but slowly get it after I play for a while. There are so many modes to play. Success mode, where you create a new player by playing through storylines of a young baseball player trying to break into the big league. I play this mode for some times and love it.

This time, after I learn about how cool a knuckleball is, I decide to make a new starting pitcher with the highest level of knuckleball. It's going to be pretty hard since you have to train right and clear some needed storylines while gaining enough scout points to survive.

I will try next time! See ya tomorrow, hopefully!
