Konami Launches MLB Live Challenge
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Aug. 20, in the year of our Lord
2013 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today
announced that its free-to-play, social mobile game MLB® Live
Challenge is now live on Facebook and available for download on
the App StoreSM for iPad. Combining official Major League
Baseball statistics with casual gameplay, MLB Live Challenge
creates a deeply immersive sports experience throughout the
baseball season. Featuring cross-connectivity between Facebook
and iPad, the title allows players to pick up where they left
off on Facebook with their iPads, and vice versa. The title is
the first of its kind to combine 3D animations, daily MLB
statistics and chance mechanics.
In MLB Live Challenge, players assume the role of team owner and
build a lineup of current Major League Baseball players. After
choosing their rosters, they can play head-to-head against other
teams across a map of North America. Like in real baseball, the
best team owners will pay attention to players' gameday
performances; in MLB Live Challenge, game players' lineups
perform better when their batters and pitchers are succeeding in
real-life Major League games. Players can check in daily to see
how their rosters performed in the real baseball games the day
before. Confident users can also allocate Challenge Points in
anticipation of the next day's results, enhancing their direct
in-game experiences.
