With a brand new drop of players comes a brand new lineup of great hypothetical What If challenges, of course! 

We’ve got even more wacky multiversal shenanigans for you to conquer, as we dish up another round of alternate reality scenarios for you to outsmart and tackle.

Have you ever pondered how your life might look if you’d made a different call at a pivotal moment? What if a single alternate choice had sent everything spiraling down a completely different path?

In the What If event, you’ll tackle challenges inspired by real-world NFL games and historic milestones, but with a unique twist that reimagines how they actually played out. 

The core of the event centers on the What If Map. 

Here, you will navigate through various scenarios based on wild hypotheticals and "what could have been" stories for specific NFL stars. 

We’re turning up the intensity this time around. This event features two distinct sides of the story, offering both Morning and Evening scenarios.

What If Scenarios shift at 7:30 PM ET every day and shift back at 10:30 AM ET, that means double the challenges every day! **

That’s not all, though - the final challenge for each What If player rewards a ticket to the What If Reward Board, where you can snag sweet prizes.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: those What If challenges aren’t the only way to dig up some real loot during this program.

Treat the What If Blitz Map as your bread and butter; putting in the work here is the fastest way to load up your inventory with Tokens and Event Pass Points. 

Once you’ve built your stash, you can head to the trades to swap them for high-impact new additions to your lineup.

Crucially, don’t forget to make the Daily Challenge a mandatory part of your pre-game ritual! That way, you’ll rack up even more of those Reward Tickets and clear out the Reward Board in no time flat.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, so definitely don't miss your shot to experience these wild hypotheticals! 

Dive in now to see what could have been, because the What If event officially winds down at 10:30 AM ET on January 20th.
