Professional Baseball Spirits 2 (プロ野球スピリッツ2,Pro Yakyū Spirits 2) is a baseball simulation video game developed by Konami for the PlayStation 2 that was released on April 7, 2005.

Professional Baseball Spirits 3 (プロ野球スピリッツ3,Pro Yakyū Spirits 3) is a baseball simulation game designed for theXbox 360 and PlayStation 2 systems.^[5] The game was released on April 6, 2006, and is developed and published by Konami.^[6]

Professional Baseball Spirits 4 (プロ野球スピリッツ4,Pro Yakyū Spirits 4) is abaseballvideo game published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 andPlayStation 3 inJapan on May 1, 2007.^[7][8] It is the sequel ofPro Yakyū Spirits 3.

The game features all 12Nippon Professional Baseball teams, and both thePacific League andCentral League All-Star teams (circa 2006, but with changes made for traded and/or retired players).

Thedifficulty level for the game is adjustable. The easiest mode will appeal to younger players who have probably never played a baseball game before in their lives, and the hardest mode—known as Spirits Mode—will give even the most experienced and advanced players a challenge with superior AI. Other modes can be selected in a sort of pseudo-gameplay sliders mode. For instance, gameplay speed can be increased, as well as pitch speed (which can be set to "real" speed).

The basicbatting interface is a silhouette of a bat which influences how the ball will travel. Depending on when and where contact was made, that influences where the ball goes. Thepitching is a 2-click system where the player selects his pitch around a grid, presses X to start his delivery, then pressing X as one circle converges on another to try and perfectly time the pitch.

Around the time of its release, it was the only PlayStation 3 video game that was among the top 50 best-selling video games in Japan.^[9]

Professional Baseball Spirits 5 (プロ野球スピリッツ5,Pro Yakyū Spirits 5) is abaseballvideo game published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 in Japan on May 1, 2008.^[7] It is the sequel toProfessional Baseball Spirits 4.

On the PlayStation 3 version ofPro Yakyū Spirits 5, the game saw many small improvements. The graphics were enhanced further from the previous incarnation, but the major fixes were in the gameplay. The load times that plagued the previous game were fixed, meaning less of the "black screens" that were used for short load times inPYS4. The game also has more of a television-style presentation, new animations for slap hits, and a new meter that tells players what pitch the CPU batter is expecting.

The new mode inPYS5 which replaces the MVP Mode in the previous game is Stardom Mode. It plays like a full-fledged Career Mode, where a player can either take control of an existing player or create their own player to go through a maximum of 20 years of play. Experience points are distributed on how well the player does in his at-bat.

An updated version ofthe game with the subtitleKanzenban, which meansPerfect Version, was released in December 2008. Released on both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3,Kanzenban touted many improvements over the original as a post-season version of the game. For instance, every player who appeared in a game in the 2008 NPB season for all 12 teams was included on each team's roster, there were new player animations, enhanced artificial intelligence, and also small improvements to graphics (foreign players, for example, no longer look generic and have their actual swings), online play, baserunning, and fielding.

Kanzenban marked the first time sincePro Yakyu Spirits 2004 Climax that aPYS game had been re-made for a post-season version, similar to that of the"Ketteiban" games inPro Yakyu Spirits sister series,Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu.

The rosters are accurate for all WBC teams, and is possible to play an entire tournament as any of the 16 teams.
