EA Stream Notes by Boomer: League Siege Reveal

Siege Seasons

• Unlike LvL, Siege seasons last 2 weeks
• There will not be daily matches. Instead, matches will happen on Monday/Wednesday/Friday each week
• There will be a leaderboard payout at the end of a Siege season

Siege Mods

• There are various different “modifiers” that affect each defender
• There are 2 different types of mods: Local and Global mods
• Local mods affect only specific rooms. For example, a room might have 20 yd first downs. This will only affect that one specific room.
• Global mods affect every room in a Siege, both for your opponent and for you. Clearing a room that has a Global mod will remove that mod’s effect. For example, if the room that holds the offensive OVR boost is removed, it will remove the boost for your opponent.
• Local Mods include: 20 Yd First Downs / 60 second drives / Random Playcalls / No coach bonus and weakness / Skip 1st down / Playstyle-only plays (Long Pass, Run, etc)
• Global Mods include: Off OVR Boost / Def OVR Boost / Playstyle OVR Boost
• The percentage boost for Global Mods can be increased via league contribution, which will cost league tokens

Siege Preparation

• Commissioner and Admins can adjust the location of both defenders and mods
• Preparation for Siege will generally last about 24 hours. Days for prep will be each weekend, as well as Tuesday and Thursday.
• Contribution for Global Mods can be done during this period

Siege Gameplay

• To start a Siege, only the first 3 rooms will be visable. These rooms will not have mods.
• To capture/clear a zone, a certain amount of points must be scored vs each opponent. For example, to clear the first zone, a total of 40 points must be scored on them.
• Opponent’s rooms will be hidden past the first 3 rooms and will be gradually revealed upon clearing rooms.
• Tickets are required to play a match. Each player will be given 10 Siege tickets at the start of each Siege, and do not carry over between Sieges.
• Additional Siege tickets can be bought via league tokens. It is not possible to spend MC for more tickets.
• 178 drives is required to fully clear the Siege board

Siege Scoring

• Points are earned in 2 different ways
• The first way is by simply scoring points on opponents.
• The second way is via clearing rooms. Each room has a differing amount of points associated with them. For example, the first 3 rooms award 200 pints for clearing, but the very last room awards 700 points for clearing.
• Points are only awarded to the listed amount of points needed to clear a zone. For example, if you score 8 points when you only need 3 points to clear, you will only be awarded 3 points.

Siege Rewards

• There will be a leaderboard that has the same tiers as LvL
• Both the leaderboard and each individual siege will award League Tokens
• 35 Siege drives are required to obtain the end-of-season leaderboard rewards
• League Tokens can be used for a bunch of various offers, including: Coin packs / Training Points / Weights / Headsets / Mythic badges / Siege Tickets / etc
• Siege Tickets will cost 175 Tokens, which is not a very high number

Misc. Siege Info

• Lineups will lock either when you launch a drive, or when your defense has been attacked
• There are a bunch of new League goals, both daily and weekly. They still award League XP and Weights, as well as League Tokens
• Matchmaking will work similarly to LvL. Also, a fix to overall LvL/Siege matchmaking is in the works.

Future of Siege

• A points per drive bonus will be implemented “relatively soon”. This means that point bonuses will be awarded for efficiency.
• Additional mods are being looked at
• Each Siege season will likely change the board layout and how one progresses through it.
• There’s discussion of potentially shortening prep time and increasing actual Siege gameplay time
• Eventually, players will be added to the league tokens store. It sounds as though these will be higher-level players.
