Part 1 of the Breakouts program is targeted to go live today at 1:30pm ET, featuring some of the league's younger players who are having breakout seasons or have breakout potential. Champions, LTDs, Heroes, and Reward players in the program come with Breakout abilities and optional upgrade steps that increase AND decrease some of the players' ratings. Breakout and custom abilities will increase in AP on November 20th.
Breakout Badges can be earned by leveling up the Breakouts Field Pass and completing challenges. Breakout Badges can be used to upgrade Welcome Pack Players, Solo Event Reward Tate Ratledge, or used in sets for Breakouts players.
A new ability called Menace is making its debut on some of the new Breakouts players in Part 1. Menace gives defenders more powerful catch tackles that force more knockouts and cause increased fatigue penalties on perfect catch tackles.
