1. Coke Sister's own son
Hello everyone, in the recent week (4.18 ~ 4.24) of the Famitong sales list, a New Year game to beat Nintendo's own works, won the sales championship, and even the PS4 version has taken the second place. The score was even 36 points, entering the Platinum Hall.
This game is KONAMI's Live Power Baseball 2022.
Speaking of the live series, you must have a lot of stories to tell, and my sports game was also inspired by a game called "Pro Evolution Soccer", but unfortunately it has now changed beyond recognition.
In fact, the most popular sport in Japan is baseball, which is the national ball of Japan. KONAMI also launched the "Live Power Baseball" series early, which was loved by baseball fans for its interesting shape and rich system. Everyone says that "Warring States Peerless" is a glorious pro-son, and "Three Kingdoms Peerless" is a dry son. Maybe baseball and soccer are the difference between KONAMI's pro son and dry son.
Due to the wide mass base, the baseball league of Japanese high schools is very mature. The koshien finals every year are a big event for Japanese high school baseball teams, and countless stories of blood and tears are generated. Many players have embarked on a career path, and the 2018 MLB rookie Wang and the 2021 All-Star player Shohei Otani were defeated in the first round of koshien twice when they were in high school, which shows the fierce competition. Of course, Shohei Otani's 160KM/h ball speed made him a lot of attention, and he is still the top baseball player in Asia, I only give an example to illustrate the level and attention of Koshien.
The "Live Power Baseball" series tells the story of high school students laughing and crying.
Affected by the epidemic, many sports, including the Olympic Games, have taken measures such as canceling live broadcasts and webcasting, and baseball is no exception. Many baseball fans could not cheer for the players on the spot, so they had to watch the broadcast and play games at home. This is when baseball games become the best alternative.
Second, the amazing richness of content
"Live Power Baseball 2022" was released on April 21, and like pro evolution soccer, it also added a "ebaseball" prefix, indicating the determination of KONAMI to network, so the networking model of this game is also the most mature in the series.
Fortunately, KONAMI did not faint this time using the free kryptonite mode, but the same as before. The official release includes all models, and even new models. Why did your pro-football get the lowest score in history?
Well, we say back to baseball, the author himself does not know much about baseball, only according to the game to introduce, if there is a mistake or omission of the reader lord Haihan, you can leave a message or private message I communicate, must be humble to accept.
This game is the latest game in the series 2022, using the traditional Q version of the series of comic style, the characters are basically Q version, the hands are round like a robot cat, there is not even a leg, the body is directly suspended above the feet, you can refer to the character style of "Wii Sports". This style is very attractive to teenagers, and the theme of the game is also a more affinity game such as blood, growth, and school.
Don't take the game lightly because of the childish graphics, its core is a professional and serious baseball game, with a lot of interesting elements added. Built-in career, management, cultivation, cup, league, battle, networking and other up to more than 20 modes, I believe that all players can find fun in it.
If you use football games to refer to it, it can be said that it integrates the advantages of "Raising Football" and "Pro Evolution Soccer", and integrates the plot and love elements of the game, so that everyone can experience a high school growth history of juvenile counterattack.
So let's pick up the main ones.
1. Crown mode
This is the mode of cultivating a team to become the strongest high school baseball team, the player is a coach, can create their own characters, and can also use the default team directly. The setting of the data is very detailed, from the appearance of the origin to the player's uniform and even the text position can be set by yourself. (It's not easy for this Q version of the character to be set up with characteristics.) ）
The initial level of the team members is not high, we have to improve their tacit understanding and ability through competition and training, and learn stunts. The better you play in a certain position, the more you can learn skills as quickly as possible.
The game is based on your level, although the UI is more quadratic, but the game screen is still more "real". Of course, this reality does not refer to the character image, although they are also all 3D. Rather, the scene is very realistic with the swinging, pitching, running base, etc., even the track of the pitch and the crisp sound effect after the blow, the cheers of the audience and the tsunami are equally blood-boiling.
2. Success mode
The Success Mode has three scenarios to choose from, Power College, Youth Academy, and Thousand Generals College. Each gakuen has its own unique culture and famous players, so you can choose what you like to experience.
This model is basically to cultivate individuals, set the name, data and appearance, you can enroll. Players can experience the process from a small white to a star. You need to train your ball skills every day, and you have to go through the daily life of high school, you can make good friends who play together, learn each other's skills, and you can also fall in love and find a girlfriend. Playing on the varsity team and other schools, and time is constantly passing, you will also experience the three scripts of high school life, all with different plots, reminiscent of youth.
Players' efforts are also reflected in the results, and when you become a professional baseball player, you can extract a record archive in the personal mode and continue your career. And your girlfriend will also marry you, if your salary is high enough, go to the peak of life, buy a mansion, raise a baby can be achieved.
Of course, the basis for all this is that your ball is going to be played well, and everything else is empty talk.
3. Power Park
This is a new model of KONAMI focusing on networking, you can use your own original players and friends to play online, the gameplay is mainly to play baseball battles, the operation is simpler than usual. This mode I have not experienced much, and friends who play more can communicate with it.
KONAMI also adds a large number of actual teams and players to the game, and players who do not like to cultivate can also directly use ready-made teams to play, from the adjustment of direction to the speed and angle of the pitch are very meticulous. There are also league and Koshien tournaments for everyone to challenge.
Third, the love of the world, football also wants!
Personally, I think this game is definitely a game developed by a loving team, and the youthful atmosphere and blood story conveyed from the game, as well as the professional gameplay, are not something that the layman (I am) can come up with. As a baseball layman, I can still indulge in breeding and daily play, although I often hand over the game to the computer, but also developed a strong interest in baseball, unconsciously learned a lot of baseball knowledge.
This game is KONAMI's careful and elaborate game, if you give half of it to "Pro Evolution Soccer" will not collapse ah!!!
Another pity is that this game is a Japanese version, and the developer may not be interested in players outside of Japan. In fact, as long as the game is fun, players know no borders. Hopefully, KONAMI will hear our faint cries and join Chinese!
