6Players can now create one custom character after another by betting on a scratch card minigame and the Baseball simulator can be played with realistic 3D models. The Card Baseball system is gone.

8!!!Outer Success Mode: Childhood Counterattack Edition
9"Hero 13" was a promising ballplayer at Pioneering High School until he got caught in a so-called accident that left him heavily injured. He's transferred to a much weaker Baseball club at Meguro High School, but is still determined to recover and climb his way to victory at Koshien alongside new friends.

13----
14!!This game features the following tropes:
15* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
16** Now there are optional simplified gameplay mechanics for both batting ''and'' pitching.
17** The scratch card minigame makes it much easier to build custom teams or to enter My Pennant mode.
18* CareerEndingInjury: Hero 13 gets crushed by dumbbells a month into the story and is laid off his team as a result of the injuries. On the way to recovery, you must avoid actions that might cripple him permanently and force him to become a manager.
19* EasterEgg: Again, click and hold the bottom left corner of the touch screen in the minigame menu to play a hidden one.
20* FightingYourFriend: Hero 13's former team is the ClimaxBoss of the story, and his ChildhoodFriend is their pitcher.
21* ItsAWonderfulFailure:
22** Downplayed in the aforementioned Manager game over. Every previous installment with a CareerEndingInjury game over condition showed the protagonist leaving Baseball in disgrace, but this one shows Hero 13 coping by [[BittersweetEnding becoming a teacher figure]].
23** Pennant Mode's game over screen is also pretty tame this time: it's just the protagonist comically throwing a tantrum on the floor.
24* KidFromTheFuture: One of the love interests is Hero 13's own granddaughter, who's trying to find the reason he falls into despair in the future.
25* LuckBasedMission: To build characters in the scratch card minigame, you must pick 3 spots out of 9 on up to 10 cards. In those spots are stat increases, skills... and a single X mark that sends you to square one. The game also secretly shuffles the contents of a card everytime the player picks one spot.
26* NewGamePlus:
27** From the second playthrough of the Outer Success scenario onwards, you can use points to purchase up to three starting items.
28** You can enter custom characters in My Pennant mode to play a year-long season. In this game and in ''14'', My Pennant has an AchievementSystem with both positive ones that give you bonuses... and [[AchievementMockery negative ones]] that grant penalties. Unfortunately, this means only top tier custom characters will get the most from this mode.
29* ShoutOut: One [[https://twitter.com/pokessence/status/274082530775429120 event]] in ''Ocean Adventure'' alludes to [[Franchise/OnePiece a rubberman who wears a straw hat]].
30* SimpleScoreOfSadness: The game over screen that appears if Hero 13 is forced to retire and become a manager briefly plays the game's RecurringRiff on a music box.
31* TagLine: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooh! Baseball!"
32* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Ship battles in ''Ocean Adventure'' have distinct attack-and-dodge mechanics.
