NETTO! PAWAFURU KOSHIEN puts players in the coach's seat to make decisions to build stronger team and give them the chance to lead their team to victory at Koshien, Japan's renowned annual national high school baseball tournament.
Gameplay proceeds according to the cards, road map and calendar schedule. You'll never see the words "Game Over" in NETTO! PAWAFURU KOSHIEN because the game never ends. After the summer tournament is over the seniors simply graduate to make room for the incoming freshman who join the team at the beginning of the next school year. Assuming the role of coach, players continually put their team through the paces in hopes of making them good enough to be Koshien champs.
