YEAR THREE OF NFL RIVALS: STRAP IN. THIS IS GONNA BE BIG.


#NFLRY3

Listen up, Rivals! #NFLRY3

We’re heading into Year Three, and let me tell you, this ain’t your average update. This is a statement. A call to arms. A full-blown, no-holds-barred evolution of the game you’ve been grinding, building, and dominating in since day one.

We’re not coasting through the offseason.

We’re flipping the dang playbook and doubling down.

STADIUMS - BRING YOUR LUNCH PAIL

Let’s start with a beast of a mode we’re calling Stadiums. Think long-term progression meets strategic depth. You’ll go head-to-head through tougher and tougher environments, each with its own flavor. Earn your way up. Fight for every inch. Rack rewards, climb the ranks, and play through a gauntlet that never stops evolving. This is more than a mode, it’s a battleground.

CARD UPGRADES THAT FINALLY MAKE EVERY CARD COUNT

You’ve got cards piling up. Rares you can’t sell; extras with no purpose. That ends Y3.

In Year Three, every single card, even NFTs, can be burned to upgrade another. No more dead-end pulls. No more “what the heck do I do with this?” Every card’s got value, and every pull matters again.

Got a stale Rare? Toss it in the upgrade fire. Duplicate Epic? Fuel the rank up beast. They’re back in the mix and ready to grind. This isn’t just a tweak, it’s a system built for players who play smart and think long-term. You’re not just collecting, you’re building a monsta!

LEAGUES 2.0 - FOR THE DOGS WHO GRIND

You’ve been asking for more meaningful League competition? It’s coming. A total redesign is in the works. We’re talking:

  • Better matchmaking
  • New progression mechanics
  • Bigger rewards + perks.  
  • Real strategic gameplay.

TASK SYSTEM - NO MORE GUESSING

We heard you: “What am I supposed to do next?” Say less. The new Task System is clear, connected, and actually helpful. Objectives will make sense, link into your gameplay, and flow into the bigger systems. Less clutter. More clarity. Better progression.

RIVALS ATTACK - STRATEGY MEETS CHAOS

Rivals Attack is getting juiced up.

Smarter tuning. Dynamic gameplay situations. More moments that make you yell, throw a fist pump, or rage with pride. Every match should feel unique, and we’re bringing that vision to life. No more cookie-cutter wins. This is where legends are made.

TOURNAMENTS - THE POWER’S IN YOUR HANDS

We’re cooking something special here.

Imagine custom tournaments, made by the community, with real stakes and exciting prize pools. You build it, you play it, you own it. It’s early, but this one’s got the juice to become a centerpiece of the Rivals experience.

Let’s be clear, we’re still in the lab. Grinding. Testing. Tuning. Some things might shift. Some might evolve. But the direction? The vibe? The mission?

Locked. In.

If you’ve ever believed in Rivals, if you’ve ever pulled that must-have card, called a buddy to flex your score, or stayed up past midnight grinding, this is your moment. We’re building something real. Something with staying power. Something you can look back on and say: “I was there when it all changed.”

Year Three ain’t just another year.

It’s a new era.

Let’s freakin’ go.
