I Love Softball — About this game
``I LOVE Softball'' is a sports game in which you select one high school team from all over the country and compete against local tournaments, national teams, and even stronger teams. He pitches underhanded, and can use both high pitched pitches and fastballs, making it difficult to hit just by swinging at the same pitch. On defense, it is necessary to identify the player who will chase the ball and the player who will cover the base, and quickly decide where to throw the ball. A game is basically 7 innings, and if the score is tied, it will be extended, and if there is a difference of 10 points or more at the end of the inning, it will be called. In addition to single-player tournaments, we also offer two-player all-star competitions that combine high school teams, professional teams, and players. After the match, you can review the results on a sports news-style screen and resume the tournament with a 4-character password.
