I’ve been playing this as my “I have 5-10 minutes to play a bit” game for the last couple months since I first got and CFW’d a Vita and it’s skyrocketed to maybe my favorite video game for that purpose ever.

Firstly this game looks ridiculously good for a portable game from this era. Unlike its Power Pros cousins, the Pro Yakut Spirits games are “real” players instead of the chibis and it looks great. There’s replays and even press interviews after games and really nice rain effects.

The manager mode is wonderful—player growth, scouting, draft boards and everything you would expect.

All in all, I just couldn’t possibly ask for more from a portable pick-up-put-down sports game like this.
