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.

I'd like to see player specific batting stances and pitching forms for most guys. There are a lot now, but there are still a bunch of guys who need them. I'd also like to see the generic stances thrown away completely and make way for newer, more realistic stances.
Dead balls are way too rare. There need to be at least one a game. Pitching should be more unpredictable like Pawapuro. Anyone with solid timing can pitch to corners easily, and that's not realistic.
Konami needs to stop using that homerun cutaway thing. I used to like it on the 2002 version, since Nori would toss his bat. It's old now.
More fielding animations, of course. WAAAAAY more player specific theme music. I'd also like to see a more detailed Pennant Mode with free agency and salaries.
