Limited-time modes
The return of two thrilling limited-time modes in Champions Road 2023 has players buzzing with excitement!
First up is 2v2 Heatseeker, which will launch on 2 August, a mode where the Rocket Ball homes in on your opponent's goal whenever you hit it. Though there’s a caveat to this, if the opponent manages to make even a slight touch, the ball will rocket back towards your goal instead.
Then, on 9 August, get ready for a switch-up with Boomer Ball. In this mode, every move you make has a massive impact. The combination of increased ball and boost speed, along with unlimited boost, makes this one of the fastest and most exhilarating matches you'll ever play.
