I've been playing a lot of PYS5 lately as well.
Might get PS3 (or xbox) within the next few weeks, so maybe someone might want to play online with me if I really get one?
I've been playing with pennant and stardom mode a lot in the recent weeks. Although there are many more things they can improve in these areas, the gameplay is really unmatch with any of the other baseball game out there. Pawapuro might be more fluid in some areas like defense and such, but the pitching and hitting mechanics are sooo much better in PYS, u just gotta appreciate it.
Too bad it's totally impossible to play well with a pitcher in stardom mode, I am actually doing something close to it with pennant mode. And it's been pretty well so far.
Also finished a season in stardom mode with an outfielder, and I can fairly realistic numbers.

Post your PSN name when/if you get a PS3 and I'll make room on my friends list for you. It's amazing how easily you can fill up those 100 friend slots with great players you get to know well when you're part of a community as strong as the one for Warhawk.

Shinigami-san, I have been playing PYS5 online (still am). If you get a PS3 with the game I would gladly include you on my buddy list. My PSN is Cyphre316, I also have a few friends that you can probly link up with to play.
I agree that PYS5 is the best baseball game out there. I would even say it is the best baseball game EVER; and one of the best sports videogames ever created on any console for any era. I am addicted to this game.

I've gotten myself a PS3 already. But have yet to buy/find the game in where I'm living yet. So I will keep u guys updated when I get my hands on a game.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Haven't played much Pawapuro 15, but the series just keeps going in the wrong direction. They lost the magic of what made Pawapuro great and are trying to cover it with a more dramatic presentation. There's still no option for pitch speed and pitch counts are still unrealistic. If you liked old school Pawapuro, there's a better option out there, which is...
MLB Power Pros 2008 doesn't look very different from last year and the player stats still SUCK, but they give you the freedom to edit everything. Not only that, but you can also control pitch speed. If you like old school Pawapuro, I suggest picking this up. It has a good difficulty level and all the MLB teams add more variety than 12 NPB teams. My Life is finally available in English for everyone who's been missing out since Pawapuro 10. Load times are a bit of an issue, though.
Lastly is the game I've been playing a lot more of lately. Pro Yakyu Spirits 5 is still the best game out there. The fluidity of the graphics and processing makes it a pleasant experience every time you load the game up. It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played as far as processing efficiency goes. Games load in what seems like less than 5 seconds. Animations are amazing. Personally, I'm getting sick of the Pawapuro presentation and I'm glad I have something realistic like PYS5 to play.
