Story Mode: Project New Hero
In this story, the player becomes the main character (1st year) at one of three top schools: Furano, Musashi or Toho (further schools are then added alongside DLC Waves). The player must compete at the Junior League alongside its teammates before competing for the World Youth Challenge. It has almost the same mechanics as the Episode: New Hero from the original Rise of New Champions. During the match results, there are two assessments. The first is the Playmaking Assets, responsible for the custom player's rank-up. It evaluates the assets (shooting, dribbling, tackling, etc.) of the custom player. The second is the Team Assets, responsible for the team's rank-up. It evaluates the Goals scored, V-Zones, Critical plays and Special Moves that were exerted in-match.
For each New Hero Route, there is a Gauge that needs to be filled to succeed in Story Mode:
- Toho Gakuen Route: Pride Gauge - One must achieve a minimum goal difference in-match
- Furano Route: Unity Gauge - One must achieve a minimum rank at the sum of all Team Assets
- Musashi Route: Genius Gauge - One must choose among three options at "Misugi's Personal Matters". Each option revolves around one of the Playmaking Assets
- Otomo Route: Tenacity Gauge - One must achieve a minimum rate of 1-on-1 wins against the opposing pivot player
- Nankatsu Route: All-Out Gauge - One must achieve a minimum rate of successful moves in-match
- Hanawa Route: Acrobat Gauge - One must achieve a minimum rate of successful Combo Shots (this includes assists)
- Hirado/Minamiuwa Route: Dark Horse Gauge - One must achieve a minimum rate of ball possession
