2020 Super Baseball

Game Details:

This game is not just a graphical upgrade; it's a bold sci-fi reimagining of the rules. The stands beyond the center of the field are covered by a glass shield. When struck, the ball ricochets back into play instead of being a home run, a feature that adds immense variability to fielding and base running. The game features three types of players: male, female, and robot. While robots have strong initial stats, over-exertion can cause them to explosively shut down. Players earn money during matches through hitting and pitching, which can be spent in real-time to purchase stat-boosting accessories for their team. This "play-to-upgrade" system fills every match with strategic depth, and combined with exaggerated batting effects and high-energy live commentary, it captures the romanticized '90s vision of future competitive sports.

Game Guide:

• Dynamic Character Upgrades: Don't be stingy with the prize money you earn in matches. It's recommended to first upgrade your team's star pitcher (Pitching) and power hitters (Hitting). Especially when a pitcher's stamina is low, buying stat boosts in time can prevent them from getting blown out by the opposing team.
• Using Robots: Although robot players have an extremely high potential, they are limited by "durability." Frequent diving catches (Dive) or long-distance base running will accelerate their power consumption. Once they start flashing red, you should immediately consider substituting them or spending a hefty sum on repairs, otherwise their performance will drop to rock bottom.
• Minefield Tactics: As the innings progress, "Crackers" zones will appear in the outfield. When on defense, you can try to bait the batter into hitting the ball near these mines. The resulting explosion will stun the opponent's baserunner, buying you time to make a force out.
• Exploiting Ricochets: Thanks to the glass stands, hitting a powerful shot diagonally backward can often produce unpredictable ricochets, causing the fielding team to misjudge the ball. By controlling your batting timing and aiming for off-center areas, you can create numerous opportunities for doubles and triples.
• Defensive Catches: Make good use of the Jump button. The edges of the field have assisted jump pads; with the right timing, you can perform anti-gravity catches to rob the opponent of a sure-fire home run.
