PowerPro 2016 is a great entry in the long-running franchise, presenting a wealth of gameplay modes and options. As someone who is perennially terrible at sports games, I appreciate the many options available to tailor the game's difficulty to your own preferences. The graphics (simple as they might be) are notably improved in this entry, with small touches like reflections in batting helmets adding to the atmosphere and visual pizzazz. The biggest stumbling block here will, of course, be the language barrier: if you don't have at least a basic understanding of Japanese, you will have a hard time navigating menus (and the amount of kanji used for many option menus had even me scratching my head on occasion). However, if you can overcome that, the great gameplay and wealth of features will keep you playing for a long time.
