Whew, what do you guys think? Big W? Some Ls? Let me know in the comments!
My favorites:
So is field pass free? Hard to believe none of this is monetized somehow.
It seems like it’s free, yeah
i stg if u have to pay for field pass im not playing mut this year
you don't have to pay for it, but you can pay to blow through the passes by buying levels
bruhhh this is why i dont play h2h
actually, I might be wrong. I don’t see a way to buy levels
Said this because I heard it on YouTube but it might’ve been clickbait lol
It was leaked. Maybe on the 19th or 20th
wow no more power up cards, huh interesting
im glad they are improving set management cuz i dont like how it doesnt show you what cards cant be added when u go to add to the sets and stuff and all that
28 solo battles a week then? Am I going to have to quit my job to complete solo battles?
"No speed boost on 'core' strategy items" implies that some version(s) of strategy items (not considered 'core') will have speed boosts. Is that correct, and, if so, what versions would those be (ie. powered up strategy items, rare strategy items, etc,)?
Return of Movivators ???
So for Devonta smith and my eagles TT, do I just need to get the highest overall Smith or stack them like previous years?
no power ups so just get the best one
ohhhhh this makes a lot of sense thank you
hoping for the house rules objectives to start tracking... wasting my time if they don't make up for it
