6 | Players 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. |

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. |
