Developer's Note - 2022 First Half Update & Attribute Trainers

Greetings Superstars!

We've got more news on additional features for the 2022 First Half update as well as some of the confirmed details for Attribute Trainers!

Please read on for more information.

### **[More Details on 2022 First Half Update]**

\* The release schedule and contents of each update are subject to change following ongoing development and playtesting.

### **1. My Player Classic Update**

1) Pitchers

My Player Classic will now feature a pitcher mode.

You can develop only one player throughout given years. You can also add that player to your roster to play in Superstar League and Planet League games.

You can also select one powerful fastball skill to use in games.

2) Career Years 11 through 13

The final season for My Player Classic will be extended to Career Year 13, allowing you to produce more powerful pitchers and hitters.

3) Additional Slots

In order to complement the current My Player Classic system that only allows you to develop 1 player, we're going to additional slots so that you can freely develop and keep players moving forward.

4) Position Change Ticket

We're designing a new item that allows you to change your Classic player's position.

5) 3 New Relationship Scenarios

3 new relationship scenarios are on their way (Sohyang / Rachel / Leonie).

### **2. New Scenario Update (Heirla)**

We're planning to add a brand-new scenario after the long-term pitcher development mode. This time, it will take place in Heirla.

### **3. My Player Scenario Rework**

The Shining Angels scenario will receive its improvements.

<Details>

* ① Added a mission refresh item to GP/SP Shop.
* ② Added a Team Skill.
* ③ More stat bonuses for excessive Star Points.

\* Scenario rework will continue in the future, prioritizing buffing unpopular Trainers.

### **4. QoL Improvements**

Quality-of-life improvements and fixes will be applied on a regular basis based on everyone's feedback. In addition, we'll hold a feedback event in the future.

After suggestions are selected from this event, we'll set up development schedules and share the progress with you transparently.

1) Core Auto-Upgrade Improvements

* Auto-upgrade system for [N], [R], and [SR] Cores are in development.
* Added a filter that allows you to exclude certain abilities prior to upgrade.

2) Expanded Core Inventory

* The maximum number of slots has been increased from 450 to 1,000.
* You'll need 50 DIA to add 50 slots to the inventory.

3) Added Title Selection Feature

* You'll now be able to select and apply a Title you want from a Title list that is displayed at the end of My Player development.

4) Expanded Team Tier [MM]

* A new team tier will be unlocked.
* Achievements and Missions will be refreshed to accommodate this update.

### **[Plans for Attribute Trainers]**

1) Attribute Trainers

<Details>

* ① We're playing an Attribute Trainer feature. Using Trainer Attribute Change Tickets (tentative name) on existing Trainers will change their Attributes.
* ② Attribute Trainers or Trainer Attribute Change Tickets may be available from event missions, web events, etc.
* ③ When you change Trainers' Attributes, their Level, Upgrade Level, and Super Skills will be kept. Equipped Cores will not be affected, but we'll prepare a Free Removal feature for them.
* ④ Attribute Trainers will have different stats, development abilities, and event rewards compared to the original ones.
* ⑤ For now, we're planning to release STR/DEX/INT/MNT versions of unpopular SP/GP Trainers one at a time. Mainly, the Trainers that have been less effective will receive this update in the future.
* ⑥ Scenarios will be the same, except for slight differences in Trainer appearances.
* ⑦ Attribute Trainers with the same name can be used as Upgrade material for one another.
* ⑧ You can't have multiple Attribute Trainers on your deck when developing players.
* ⑨ Costumes will be interchangeable.

As Baseball Superstars is entering long-term engagements, we've been preparing various tweaks and new ideas so that the game can be more enjoyable.

We'll do our best to make sure that Baseball Superstars continues to hit it out of the park.

Thank you.
