NFT REVIEW MARKET
The officially licensed NFL Rivals, developed by Mythical Games, has launched its new Halloween event, “Monster Smash 2,” offering players a chance to compete in events, unlock rewards, and rewrite history with the game’s first-ever NFL Legend, Adrian Peterson. The program highlights Peterson’s legendary career and other NFL players who shined in October and runs from October 17 to November 14.
Adrian Peterson Takes Center Stage
NFL Rivals is a free-to-play mobile arcade-style football game where you manage your own NFL team with digital trading cards. In Monster Smash 2, players will find card packs, currency events, weekend Main Events, a Power Pass, and the program store with legendary, epic, and rare players.
Adrian Peterson, the former NFL MVP and one of the greatest running backs in league history, is at the heart of the Monster Smash 2 event. Players can relive Peterson’s greatest moments and unlock multiple special editions of his card.
Peterson’s cards are integrated throughout NFL Rivals, in various forms. For example, logging in allows players to claim a free base version of his card. He’s also featured in the Battle Pass, which players can progress through by completing challenges.
His Legendary and Mythical Player Editions are the top rewards of the event, purchasable with the game’s in-event currency, ‘candy’. However, players will have to choose wisely, as they can only purchase one of these top-tier cards.
Program Structure and Challenges
The Monster Smash 2 event comprises 40 milestones over four weeks, with daily and weekly challenges. These challenges allow players to earn ‘candy’ and unlock various rewards such as coins, gems, PFPs, player cards, and training resources.
The focus will be on currency-collecting events during the week and player-specific Main Events on the weekends, complemented by Mythical Events that offer additional bonuses based on the version of Adrian Peterson in the player’s lineup.
A major part of the event is its focus on ten running challenges. Since Peterson was a dominant running back, many of the challenges require players to rely on his editions to succeed. Players can relive iconic moments of Peterson’s career through these challenges, such as his game-winning touchdown against the Packers in 2008 or his record-setting 296-yard rushing game in 2007.
In addition to Peterson, the program also features other NFL stars who have starred in past October games. These players are available in packs and events, with varying rarities— 8 Legendary, 8 Epic, and up to 10 Rare. ‘Chase’ players, featured in weekend events and not available in packs, include seven special cards: four are event rewards, and three can be purchased using ‘candy’ in the program store.
Special Rewards and Halloween Atmosphere
After completing the “Adrian Peterson Challenge,” players will receive his Rare card as the final reward, which can be used in ‘Beast Events’ to unlock higher-powered versions. Additional rewards between challenges will provide RB training points to upgrade Peterson’s editions.
Beyond the individual player rewards, Monster Smash 2 enhances the Halloween vibe with special in-game effects and a spooky new stadium. Camera shakes and eerie effects await players using any version of Adrian Peterson’s card.
