The game features over 400 legendary retired players, allowing fans to play with historical NPB icons like Shohei Ohtani (who also serves as the game’s ambassador).
In terms of fan engagement, NPB has seen a resurgence in interest, partly due to the successful hosting of international competitions and the increased visibility of Japanese players in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States. This global connection helps attract a broader audience to professional baseball in Japan.
The game also allows sharing entire custom teams or league settings. The code could unlock a fan-made 2025 All-NPB team or a legendary roster featuring historical greats like Sadaharu Oh or Hideki Matsui.
