- Speedball – League Mode Single Player Update - 13 May 2025
League Mode is here! In Speedball’s League Mode, 10 teams compete over a season to be crowned champions. To take your team of rookies to the top, you will need to grow a squad of up to 18 all-stars, and manage who you play, bench or rest for each game. Effectively rotating your players throughout the season will be key to managing the fatigue of your players and preventing injuries. Pick your best team using each player’s set of unique stats (including shot power, speed, durability etc) and traits (such as pyromaniac, rioter, star shooter and pitcher). You will need to draft in new players throughout the season to bolster your ranks and replace your losses – remember, there are no-holds barred in the arena!
