most popular title/best game/help me!!
hello, i just recently bought a japanese ps2, and one of the aspects i can do now is try out some j-baseball titles, i'm really interested and i've done a bit of searching around on some webpages for a few game titles, but im just curious whats like the most popular baseball game title right now in japan or just moreover the world regarding this, i figure that the best game just comes off of personal preference, but on play-asia.com i was looking at baseball live 2005 and i havent heard much talk from people about that, but i have heard a little bit of spirits and pawapuro(sp?), sorry if this topic has been discussed before, but i'm just really in the dark about which title should b best fitted for me, im totally fresh out there for preferences, just a fun good baseball game! opinions would help me greatly on most j-baseball games out there right now! help!

Hi, I too just got a japanese ps2 ...
I must say that I own Pawapuro 11 and 12, Yakyuu spirit 2 and Baseball Live .
Here is my review.
Baseball live is just not my knid of game, the graphics are alot like All-Star baseball, and definatly not as smooth as Pawapuro and Spirit.
Pawapuro 12 : very good game, althoug my main problem with it is that the CPU just doesn't throw enough balls to make it realistic.
Spirit : amazing graphics, gameplay is smooth, not enough difficulty sliders ( it gets easy after a while), the game is very hard to find also).
So my advice would be to get Pawapuro 12 Ketteiban .

I agree with Bullpen 45. I haven't played Pro Spirits or Baseball Live, but I'm a huge Pawapuro fan.
I own Pawapuro 11 Chou Ketteiban and Pawapuro 12. And I've already pre-ordered Pawapuro 12 Ketteiban. I think its due out December 15.
I'm fairly certain that Pawapuro still reigns supreme in Japan.

Hey Jom, you have a modded PS2, right?
When you get Pawapuro 12 Ketteiban, wuld you be willing to trade Pawapuro 12 (spring version) for Pro Yakyuu Spirits 2?

I use a slide card.
I am slightly curious about Pro Spirits 2, but I'm also pretty sure that I'd still prefer Pawapuro.
And with sports games I really like, I'll often try to collect as many versions as I can.
So I probably won't be willing to trade. Sorry. But if I change my mind, I'll let you know.

Undisputedly you should get a copy of Pawapuro, After living in Japan from 93-99, I had seen this big-headed baseball game when I walked throught the open malls and looked into the game stores it was mostly famicon and PS1 at the time but I remember seeing this cartoony looking baseball game and it seemed as if it were quite popular, With my American desire for realistic graphics I shyed away from it, but after finally getting a copy I realized what all the buzz was for, my brothers have no desire to play this game when I brought it home although they love sport games, Japan has definitely captured the essence of baseball and the chance of the game, meaning that a last place can blow out a first place team on any given day of the week. Pawapuro captures the physics of the ball better than I have ever seen, you really get a sense of getting all of the ball when you hit a homerun, on american games it doesn't to seem to feel like you have done anything, somehow even with the ridiculous graphics this game has captured a sense of integrity in gameplay that is unrivaled.
