WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP mode
The “WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP” mode invites players to compete real-time online matchups against opponents from more than 200 countries and regions worldwide.
Structured as a series of regularly held tournaments, each event features its own participation regulations. Players must construct their squad within a designated cost limit, selecting from a roster of 120 available players to strategically assemble a championship-calibre team.
Victory earns ranking points and unlocks additional playable athletes, allowing competitors to continuously strengthen their roster as they climb the global leaderboard. With evolving tournament rules and worldwide opposition, WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP mode delivers a dynamic and skill-driven path to international supremacy!
TEAM EDIT
Users can build brand-new, original teams, freely customising uniforms, caps, and team identity to create a club that reflects them.
An extensive player appearance editing system delivers deep personalisation across every athlete on the roster. Batting stances can be finely tuned, pitching setups and release points adjusted, and signature in-at-bat routines configured to match each player’s style.
Home run celebrations, including bench-front performances, can also be selected, bringing added personality to every big moment.
The character body model features more than 120 adjustable parameters, including detailed facial features such as eye types, as well as physical attributes like arm thickness and overall proportions. The result is a highly flexible creation system that empowers players to craft truly individualised competitors.
