Baseball Superstars II

Baseball Superstars II is the tenth main installment in the Baseball Superstars series, developed and published by Gamevil. It was first released with 2011 프로야구 (2011 Professional Baseball) as the name in September 2010 for feature phones in South Korea, and was later re-released for Android, Windows Mobile, and iOS platforms in the same country. About a year later, it is published first on iOS platforms worldwide with the name Baseball Superstars II, then about a month later, it is released for android platforms. It was produced by Jae Joon Song, Jung Soo Park, and Dong Yup Shin. developed by Joseph Kwon, Jin ho Yang, and Joo Kyoung Sung. Game designs by Gun Hee Kang. It is the second Baseball Superstars installment in 2011 after Baseball Superstars 2011. Hence, the game's logo has "II" (Read as 2 in Roman numerals signifying that it is the second Baseball Superstars installment in 2011) for World release, different from the South Korean versions.

Baseball Superstars II's My League mode follows the story of a College Graduate boy who got in a League Baseball team (the team that the Player chooses). Being a newcomer, the boy's life will change drastically; from a getting a new house from his coach, meeting his old friend Four-eyes, and his Junior subordinate in the team. As the story progresses, the player would meet: Ahra, a Tomboy girl who lives in the same dorm as the player, Rosie, a pouty girl whom limits her relationships, Medica, his childhood friend and crush next door, and Cycci, a magician girl whom is older than she looks. The boy has only one goal: to become the best player ever. But wouldn't it be a waste to not form a relationship with one of these girls?

The gameplay is almost the same as the previous installments, that is, a classic bat-and-ball game. It retains the Batter's control scheme. The pitcher's, however, is improved. It no longer uses d-pads to aim the ball, but a tap-to-aim control is implemented. A Tournament mode is added and Fielding defense positions is added, a feature that older installments don't have. A player recruit or scouting is also added, where you could spend G Points to get a random normal to legendary pitcher or batter that you can use in Season modes.

According to some android game reviewers, Baseball Superstars II is one of the best baseball game for android at that time, there weren't really any big competitors in the play store. The game was actually re-evaluated, it wasn't bad at that time. The game is quite successful thanks to the reputation of the previous works and the excellent game quality of this work.

My League Modes
Like the previous installments, this game has two My League Modes: Batter and Pitcher. An ACTIVE bar and Morale is also implemented.

My League Batter
Baseball Superstars II's My League mode is the mode where the player can make a new Batter player with the team of their choosing. Stats for batters are: Hitting, Slugging, Defending, and Running.

 * Hitting (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Slugging (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Defending (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Running (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Super batting

New My League batters will have relatively have low stats especially in the first year. It will grow exponentially as the years go by, provided if the player sticks to a routine training regime. If the player doesn't train, there's a high chance that the batter will obtain a negative skill for a batter.

Baseball Superstars II's My League Pitcher mode is where the player can make a new Pitcher player with the team of their choosing. Stats for pitchers are: Control, Speed, Curve, and Stamina. The player can choose one of three pitching types: Overhand, Sidearm, or Underthrow. They can choose 2 difficulties: Easy or Normal.

 * Control (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Speed (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Curve (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Stamina (2 to 4 points every session)
 * Breaking balls and Super Pitching

New My League pitchers will have relatively have low stats especially in the first year. It will grow exponentially as the years go by, provided if the player sticks to a routine training regime. If the player doesn't train, there's a high chance that the batter will obtain a negative skill for a pitcher. SPs can be earned by training super pitching, or by entering story instances.

Yearly goals
Every year or season in Pitcher mode or Batter mode, the coach will let the player make a choice for their goals. Then, a yearly goal is set by the player's choosing. There will be compensations for completing one, two, or all of the set goals. Those compensations include: Popularity, Money, G Points, Fame, and so on. Batters' and Pitchers' goals are different. Pitchers have the most settable goals' variation because of their unique positions.

Outing
In the administrative menu, there's a button named "Outing". Tapping the outing button will take the player to the Outing menu, where the player can interact with the main and seducable girls in the game. Both My League Batter and pitcher story instances are almost the same. There's an instance in which the player will play a one-time at bat, where pitcher will pitch and batters will bat.

Each places in Outing has different buttons with different utilities. Every place can be "Entered" when an exclamation mark (!) is shown above the place, signifying that a story instance with one or two girls involved is enterable. Entering a place uses 4 Active Points.

Places in Baseball Superstars II Outing menu:


 * Player's Camp
 * School
 * Hospital
 * Stadium
 * Downtown
 * Broadcasting station

Obtaining batter/pitcher skills
Both My League batter and pitchers can obtain positive skills by setting records in the game. Or by completing one of the girls' ending route. Negative skills however, can be obtained in a variety of ways, ranging from not training regularly to having bad records every game and having poor coach review. See also: Category:Skills

Quiz shows
Quiz shows is one of the gameplay aspects that Baseball Superstars II offer. It is set at the Broadcasting station. The player can enter the broadcasting station if a small "QUIZ" icon is shown, by selecting the "Quiz show" button. Quiz shows is where the player can do a quiz show to earn G Points by correctly answering a question that the host provides. The rewards range from 1000 G Points to 2000 G points. There are ultimately 20 Questions to answer, whether its My League Batter or My League Pitcher. Each modes have different questions. Answering a question wrong will give the player -5 morale. It costs 6 ACTIVE points to do a quiz show in the Broadcasting Station. Funny enough, there are no story instances with the main seducable girls set in this specific place, rendering the "Enter" button useless.

Season Mode
Season mode is a game mode in which you can manage and play the team of your choosing. Different from My League modes, the season mode has stats that include batters' and pitchers' overall stat, and others like Focus and Tenacity that affect both defense and offense.
