Greetings from Com2uS!

We extend our sincere thanks to all MLB RIVALS users for their support throughout 2024.

As 2025 approaches, this dev note will cover the remaining updates for this year and share some of our future plans.

We ask for your understanding that the details of the items below are subject to change during the development.

[Next Updates (November)]

1. Additional Development System

- We will introduce the new development system, tentatively called Transcendence, as mentioned before.

- Special cards (Impact, Prime, Signature, and FA) can increase their Transcendence level by 1 using cards of the same team, rarity, and position as material.

- Regardless of the team, a material card of the same player and rarity can increase the target card's Transcendence level by 3.

- The MAX Transcendence level is 9. You can also use the FA Card of the same rarity as the target special card, and vice versa.

※ For Signature and FA Signature Cards of the same rarity, if they have different player names, they can only be used as material for one another if they are of the same team and position.

Example 1 - Using material card with same player name/rarity

Target Card: LAD F. Freeman '23 (1B) Signature Card

Material Card: ATL F. Freeman '21(1B) FA Signature Card

Result: Transcendence Level +3

Example 2 - Using material card of the same team/rarity/position

Target Card: LAD F. Freeman '23 (1B) Signature Card

Material Card LAD C. Bellinger ’17(1B/LF) Signature Card

Result: Transcendence Level +1

Example 3 - Using material card of the same grade/position and different team

Target Card: LAD F. Freeman '23 (1B) Signature Card

Material Card: CHC C. Bellinger '23(CF/1B) Signature Card

Result: N/A

- Once Impact/Prime Cards reach Transcendence Lv. 9, they will be subject to a higher-grade conversion and can develop into a higher-rarity card of the same player via the new player recruitment system scheduled to be added in the future.

- The new player recruitment system is designed to encourage consistent gameplay for player card acquisition. It is being carefully prepared to not harm the development speed of the existing lineup, making the materials available through gameplay and limiting the recruitment to a certain number by period.

- All special cards in your Lineup and Reserve are subject to Transcendence and higher-grade conversion through the player recruitment system.

- Please stay tuned for special events with the Transcendence update.

2. Mileage Shop

- A Mileage Shop that offers items with mileage points retroactively earned from all previous in-app purchases since the official launch will be added.

- In-app purchases made after the Mileage Shop's introduction will earn you mileage points.

3. Ranked Battle Matchmaking and UI Improvement

- The matchmaking logic will be improved to prevent you from meeting opponents with much higher/lower OVR.

- More lower ranks will be displayed, and Win/Loss/Win Rate will be easier to see.

4. Potential & Event Game Continuous Play

- When playing in simulation in Potential / Event Games, you will be able to use a certain amount of Quick Play Tickets to automatically play consecutive games.

- Like the Potential Game, hard mode will be added to the Event Game. (After the November update)

5. Miscellaneous

- You will no longer have to confirm purchases each time you purchase items/packages from the Shop.

- You can set the number of box items to use consecutively.

- You can set the number of player packs to open consecutively.

- Lights will be added to all 30 ballparks. Shadows of ballpark structures and the change in uniform colors under indirect lighting will be displayed in detail.

- Improvements to quality and graphics, including wear and tear in the batter’s box

- Other Quality of Life improvements are being prepared.

[4th Quarter Update Plans]

1. Player Recruitment System

- A player card conversion system that allows you to convert special cards with Transcendence Lv. 9 into same player cards of higher rarity will be added.

2. Special Card Addition

- Special cards of players who performed well in 2024 will be added.

- New CP special cards will be added.

3. Event and Reward Improvement

- New events related to year-end, Transcendence, and player recruitment will be held.

4. Miscellaneous

- Quality of Life improvements, including a feature that allows you to register material cards at once, will be made to Position Training.

- You can now set a target level for continuous Training Boost.

- Ranked Battle/Live Match rewards will be more visible.

- Other Quality of Life improvements are being prepared.
