League Mode

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 their fatigue 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.

Speedball

Set in the grim future of 2138, Speedball is a no-holds-barred future sport that is used by mega-corporations to distract the downtrodden masses from their miserable lives. It is the only sport that allows two cybernetically augmented teams to go head-to-head at levels of speed and violence beyond human limitations. Matches are fast-paced, explosive and unpredictable and you will need to master high-speed passing, coordination and shooting.

  • Incredible fast-paced, explosive and unpredictable matches
  • Face off in a brutal sport featuring a wide range of teams and arenas
  • Take advantage of arena specific obstacles and abilities to gain the upper hand against your opponents
  • Slow motion Takedown Cam captures the most visceral and brutal injuries
  • Arcade-style matches come together with sports management strategy
  • Organize a team that fits your playstyle based on their individual traits and talents
  • Hone your skills against the AI and then compete online or against a friend locally
