The patch notes are quite bulky, but what do you expect when there is this much content on offer. We’re certainly not complaining, and the fanbase of the football/soccer racing title surely won’t be either.

Underwater Arena, A Dive into Salty Shallows

The centrepiece of Season 14 is the brand new AquaDome (Salty Shallows) arena.

Replacing the original AquaDome’s somewhat menacing aesthetic, Salty Shallows takes players on an underwater journey with a lighter and more relaxed feel.

Gone are the ominous sharks, replaced by a serene atmosphere perfect for showcasing your aerial acrobatics and scoring spectacular goals.

The arena boasts a visual overhaul, complete with a lighter colour palette and a shimmering water effect.

Players can also expect a change in soundtrack. Instead of the original AquaDome’s suspenseful music, Salty Shallows features a relaxing lo-fi house playlist, including this season’s theme, “Ghost” by Direct.

This shift in atmosphere creates a more casual and visually appealing environment for both casual and competitive players.

Familiar Handling, New Rides: The Admiral and Mako

Season 14 introduces two new car bodies: the Admiral and Mako. These additions cater to existing players by utilising the familiar Dominus and Breakout hitboxes, respectively.

While some might have preferred designs that truly embraced the aquatic theme, these new options offer seasoned veterans a comfortable transition with familiar handling mechanics.

The Admiral boasts a boxy design reminiscent of the Dominus, while the Mako features a sleeker profile akin to the Breakout. This familiarity ensures that gamers can seamlessly adapt their existing skills to these new car bodies.

However, the lack of a truly aquatic-themed design choice might leave some players yearning for a more visually distinct addition to their garage.

Competitive Revamp and Laser-Focused Rewards

For competitive players, Season 14 brings the standard soft reset to playlists, ensuring a fresh start for everyone as they climb the competitive ladder.

This season also swaps out Competitive Snow Day for Competitive Dropshot, keeping the competitive scene dynamic and challenging players to adapt their strategies for different game modes.

Season 13 veterans can finally claim their well-deserved rewards – dynamic decals that react to the in-game music, adding a personalised touch to your car.

These decals change colour and animation in sync with the music, allowing players to showcase their taste in tunes while tearing up the pitch.

This season’s competitive grind also unlocks laser-themed Tournament rewards.

Players who climb the Tournament ranks can earn a dazzling goal explosion that leaves a trail of laser light, a laser beam boost that cuts through the arena with a vibrant glow, and a stunning laser trail that follows your car throughout the match.

These flashy rewards not only showcase your competitive prowess but also add a touch of futuristic flair to your car’s design.

Customisation Craze with the Rocket Pass

The Rocket Pass remains a key element for customisation enthusiasts. Season 14’s Rocket Pass offers a plethora of new options to deck out your car, allowing players to express their unique style on the pitch.

From the shimmering Fishscale Paint Finish that evokes the feeling of gliding through water, to the deep-sea Kelp Antenna that adds a touch of the ocean depths, the Rocket Pass provides a variety of aquatic-themed customisation options.

Quirky additions like the Snorkel Mask Topper and the imposing Scale-Veil Decal further enhance the customisation possibilities.

However, to unlock the bulk of these customisation goodies, players will need to purchase the premium Rocket Pass track.

The free tier offers a limited selection of rewards, while the premium track unlocks a wider range of customisation options, including all the aquatic-themed goodies. The last great piece of content that we got was the introduction of Lightning McQueen from Cars as a playable character. This latest update has more than enough for gamers to get their teeth into.

Beyond the Surface: Additional Season 14 Details

While the new arena and customisation options take centre stage, Season 14 brings some additional noteworthy changes.

Season 14 Tournaments are now live, offering players the chance to compete against others and earn rewards based on their performance. Any unspent S13 Tournament Credits automatically convert into rewards. Let us know what you think about the new update by leaving a comment below.
