Going by his gif yesterday a surprise where we have to wait :frowning:. Whatā€™s left to come for the year?

@JNT_BA has there been anything thought/possibly to change the appearance of younger versions of cards to differentiate them to their older versions (eg. Buddy and Dusty cards having no tattoos and slimmer builds when younger)

Itā€™d be really good if there was an upgrade in pack market packs, thought weā€™d get sapphire packs after they added emerald packs at the end of season 1. So now if i want to upgrade my team i know that even sapphires and diamonds are still very rare and ill have to waste a lot of FP just to get them. Would love to see this game create reasons to come back to the game for all players before they release the next afl game.

Iā€™ve seen people say that packs higher tier than emerald would cost a lot but could they not follow other pro/ultimate team modes where the packs decrease in price as rarer cards come out.

With rewards as well while there was diamond packs first added in season 2 the pack rewards are the same for premiership and levels in season 3, an obsidian pack at 39 would be great.

Would love for this game mode to grow to a fully fleshed out experience because it gets people playing the game more regularly, do understand though that thereā€™s limitations compared to the bigger developers like ea and 2k, but with some gameplay and progression improvements It would be a lot more enticing to play.

As a gauge, what do people think would be a ā€˜reasonableā€™ FP price if there were Sapphire, Diamond and Obsidian packs on the Store?

And then, how would it be balanced with just making them hard (or well-earned) like they are (mostly) now, as opposed to just selling your 200 Gold cards and getting a pack?

theres always next year

One thing Iā€™d love to see would be something similar to SBC building on fc25 to gain rewards from building a card base etc.

Even I love there evolution process too, taking bronze cards to hire tiers etc

Iā€™m sure these types of things have been discussed as they now have a taste for pro team and will be wanting to bring this product into their more world wide audience titles like cricket, tennis and rugby.

When this gets implemented into these other titles, this will be a game changer to bring in so many different things like the sapphire, dimaond and fire obsidian weekly packs etc

And then ultimately, super powers. Invulnerability, invisibility etc. Small firearms perhaps. Exploding umpires and random buzzsaws emerging from the grass definitely.

Donā€™t worry, everyone would respawn. Iā€™m not a psycho. Except in management mode, where youā€™d have hospital bills etc.

Iā€™d love for SBCs and Evolutionsā€¦ something to give more purpose to the players that arenā€™t Emerald or Sapphire.

And Team Chemistry tooā€¦. But hopefully something they can build out for future versions of Pro Team.

@JNT_BA sorry if Iā€™ve missed this but if you had to ballpark guess, when do you think new draftees will be scanned and added to the game?

And do you know whether any improvements will continue to be made with management mode? Cheers :slightly_smiling_face:

Itā€™d be good to add packs which have players that might not normally get a high tier card, for example cards for the 2025 draft they could make the top 10 players diamond cards and then the rest of the first round could be sapphire, it would make them more useable in your best teams and more enticing to get packs.

Probably less likely but adding out of position cards would be great, even though thereā€™s no position locks giving like Mac Andrew a card with good stats for a forward, donā€™t know if thereā€™s one for his 4 goals against essendon

Iā€™m not sure about pumping up stats for yet to be proven draftees, but I get where youā€™re going with itā€¦ some more purpose to playing them.
Would it be better to have Objectives for those draftees? Maybe even combining them with the game modes? (I.e ā€˜Play a top ten draftee in 3 Premiership Challenge matchesā€™)

Can I please ask if any one of you could be so kind as to take a screenshot of this weeks new objectives to fill in the hours whilst I work today?

Also if there are any other newies that have popped up, thatā€™d be great :wink:

No new ones yet. Iā€™ll keep a watch throughout the day. (This is what I mainly use Remote Play on the PS5 from my phone forā€¦ the ā€˜administrativeā€™ side to Pro Team. :slight_smile: )

Just pulled the dusty season reward from last season

How do we feel that it gets put into the next season packs? I feel like you have one chance to get it and that it ?

Thoughts

While i 100% agree it would be nice as a season only reward, iā€™m also stoked to see it in a pack & am now about to go pack hunting :joy::sob:

Thatā€™s fair haha

I opened it and was like why the hell did I grind so hard for this card if itā€™s just going to be in packs :rofl:
