Penant Mode has been powered up this time as well. In addition to over 400 legendary former players from previous generations, the most ever in a Powerful Pro Baseball game, and 12 legendary teams that transcend the boundaries of time, players can also use the old Hanyku Braves, Nankai Hawks, and Osaka Kintetsu Buffaloes teams.

Additionally, the now-defunct Nishinomiya Stadium and Osaka Stadium will be present in Powerful Pro Baseball 2024-2025. Enjoy Penant Mode while experiencing the history of Japanese professional baseball!
