What will be new in this new season rollover?

I like this… Premiership Challenge with a dedicated pack as the prize… which, by the end of the season, could have some damn good (or rare) Fire Obsidian cards in it.

A bit of a mystery but some good incentive to play this mode now.

I don’t even play Premiership Challenge but totally agree - this is great! Seems like feedback taken from you and others on that one SS

Beauty !! Still can’t get over players like trac and Curnow moving they just don’t look right :joy:

Keen to jump into online matches again on PT, just hope the wait times searching for match ups doesn’t force me away again :crossed_fingers:

Cool concept, well done BA.

Hate to be ‘that guy’ but are we hitting the ceiling a little early? Curnow 99 sheesh.

So yesterday level 40 card was not good
enough, now the level 40 is too much?

Tough crowd :rofl::rofl:

What an absolute champ! I had recently resorted to scrawling them down on a pad and looking at them mid game :rofl:. Thanks!

Yep it would be awesome if they did!

I’ve been taking PS5 screenshots to refer back to mid-game. :slight_smile:

Much less time consuming than my process :rofl:

I’m so glad you called me out, I was going to talk about this while already regretting how indulgent it might come off.

First things first, just had a proper look and well done BA for spicing up the run home. Perfect. May this continue as the new normal. Also the objectives look really good as well, and I’ll always be a fan of objectives based off earned rewards instead of the auction house or pot luck. But just in general they all look really well thought out this season from a first scan.

Second, a level 40 FO is perfect. Behind it 100%.

Lucky last, I know 99’s are going to happen but I think it should be really special and only assigned to the GOATs. Maybe I’m harsh on Curnow but I personally don’t think he is in this category. I know there’s a reference to newly traded players in the season description but I think someone like Buddy or Gaz Jnr would have been better. Or better yet Carey - still holding out for him to make an appearance.

Maybe I’m a bit too retro but I think that’s where the gold err obsidian is.

@dont_argue04 thanks! Good work.

While I’m still here rambling - mystical BA Devs - when we get in game objective tracking one day can we also please get searching on player number and if you really want to knock our socks off, a filter button on the objectives screen that takes you directly to a view of players that quality. For bonus points have a button to assign the selected player to your currently favourited team line up. Car horns would toot all around the country for weeks.

I think I heard somebody yell out ‘blow the siren’!

Got 7 games in last night… which I was quite amazed at.
Although most took 10+ mins to find someone… but only 1 guy quit on me (half way through the 3rd quarter).
Aside from that, they were decent games. One guy told me he knew my YouTube channel! hahaha.
