Description

In this entry's Success Mode, players live out a college baseball career, deciding how to level up their attributes with a create-a-player, who will become available for use in other modes on the completion of Success Mode.

The Japanese version also includes My Life mode, which lets players inhabit the day-to-day life of a major leaguer, with life sim elements. This mode is not included in the American release, though it would be included in the sequel MLB Power Pros 2008.

Roster

25-man rosters for each team in Major League Baseball are included, with a limited number of additional licensed players (4-10 per team) assigned to a AAA roster.

There are a handful of players who were not part of the MLB Players Association whose names and skin colors have been changed, such as Barry Bonds being replaced with G. Gonzalez. Each replacement player’s name starts with an initial G. like that example.

Intro Cinematic

Besides the title and logo differences, the Japanese intro movie keeps the generic Pawapuro-kun faces for each player, unlike the customized player likenesses in the American version. The Japanese version also replaces the Alex Rodriguez hero shot towards the end with Hideki Matsui.
