Season 2 Preview - BETA Access & UI Changes

Today we're giving anyone interested access to the game's BETA branch, to preview the changes coming in season 2. To get access, follow these steps:

Go to your Steam library, right click the game entry and select properties.

Go to the Betas section, enter the code beta12345678, then hit the check code button.

Switch to the beta branch from the drop down menu.

You can freely change between the beta and live branches at any time. All cards will be unlocked while on the beta branch.

Aside from the changes from last week's post, what you can expect on the gameplay side is mostly changed players. There are too many to list here, and we'll leave you to discover them by yourselves, but here just a few from a high level perspective:

• Nicola Jokeric passive rework

• Joel Embiid passive and skill rework

• Paszcal Siacam full rework

• Dejonte Murrei skill rework

• Upgrade many cards to legendary and reworked they kits: Tireze Macsey, Marccus Smarrt, LaMello Boll, Donatas Saboniz, Cabe Cuningham, Laurin Mackanen, Jared Alen, Dezmond Bein.

• Partially added rookies from the draft

This not an exhaustive list, and we are not done with the changes. You will be playing on a development environment, and we will keep making changes over the next few weeks. Expect an update every Wednesday until the final release.

What is left to do:

• We still have a lot of players to remove, replace or upgrade

• Rarities for players are not final. Just as we upgraded many to legendary, and still have a few to do, many rare players will be upgraded to epic.

• Salaries are not final. Our approach to salaries is that every player's salary is relative to all other salaries, based on a formula that assigns value to their attributes, passives and skills. Before we can do the final fine tuning for salaries, we need all players to be close to final.

• Bot teams have not been reworked based on the new mechanics, players or salaries. They are the same ones as on the live environment. Same as salaries, this will be one of the final steps in the process.

Know issue: The tutorial does not work correctly as it's being reworked. Please concede the tutorial, after which you can play the game normally.

Gameplay HUD Changes

As Season 2 will also be our mobile release, we've updated the gameplay HUD to work better on mobile.

• Increased the size of the cards on the board

• Skill buttons are now aligned vertically on the right side

• Bench buttons have moved to the left side

• Box score button moved to the top right

You can reach us directly on the game's Discord server if you would like to provide feedback.

Thank you and good luck!
