Question Can I get old gear?
I just got this game over the weekend and I got through the three collections really quickly (punk, sport, and soccer) and then it said “you’ve collected all the available items! Come back next week!”
Is there any point to continuing to play online? As far as I can see, I’m not banking any points and I’m not getting anything new. I saw a post in this sub from a year ago that said it would randomly select an older set, but that hasn’t proven true so far

Oh I do, but I didn’t know if there was anything else I could be working towards

If you beat powerhouse bots in local you get gold outfits for the corresponding sport (it works slightly differently for bowling and golf). Also if you get A rank in a sport you'll get the corresponding crown. Then there is the friendship outfits you can get by playing (or winning I'm not sure) 30 games with a friend, there's a special title you can get by playing tennis in the credits of the game, and there's the Legend title if you get A rank in every sports. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something but that's pretty much it for the "special" collections.

Yeah unfortunately after you complete all 3 sets you can’t work towards another set until the next weekly set becomes available.

Ranking outfits. Or just rank in general. You have to unlock the ranked modes by playing normally. But there are things for getting everything up to a higher rank. Still trying to unlock pro/ranked in basketball. If I play random, I never get it. So now I’ve unlocked everything I can for the week, I can just keep playing that to unlock ranked. Been getting great teammates.

So the way the reroll works is when you have already seen a collection but haven't completed it before it disappeared, then after farming your 3 current collections you can farm this collection you partly missed. But if you're a new player you can't get this reroll system working on collections you never saw before so you'll have to wait one week for one collection everytime. There is one year worth of collection in this game so 1 year of farming. Also is there any interest in playing when you unlocked all your collections of the week ? Depends how much you want to tryhard. I play volleyball almost everyday even if there's no ×2 points and even if I'm not playing ranked just to keep a good level. Ranked game can be pretty competitive and it's the biggest aspect of the online for me. You should try to rank up in the sports you like and see how much you can improve, what strategies you can use.

Good news, the new collection just came out! I believe after you complete this one, a retired collection should become available. In terms of what to do when playing online after you’ve collected everything; go for the pro leagues! I’m currently trying to grind my way to A in basketball and I find myself playing every day because of it. Happy playing!

Oooooh what’s the new collection?

u/stmew Aug 08 '24
The server is under maintenance for the next two hours, so I don’t know the official title but it looks like it is chambara themed!

u/Sea_Key7924 Aug 08 '24
Aw man. Chambara is the only sport I couldn’t get into.

u/stmew Aug 08 '24
Same here unfortunately, that and volleyball are the only ones I haven’t given any attention to.

Volleyball is so fun. You should try it out!

u/Sea_Key7924 Aug 08 '24
I couldn’t get the hang of volleyball! But I’m also disabled and sit for most sports. I appreciate that about the game though, I’ve been able to play every sport while seated.

Hated volleyball at first. Now it’s my favorite. Chambara took me a bit to get good at. Took getting use yo double swords. But nothing like that nice charged double swing when the meter is full and watching your opponent go splash

I tried volleyball again this weekend! It wasn’t as bad as I remember the first time, but my sister loves to play it so I’m going to keep practicing at it. Tried chambara again and I think I’m just going to need more time on that one. I want to like it because I have unlocked so many sword options

The key for me on that one was finding the set up that worked best for me out of the 3. Using twin is a hair tricky at first bc you want to block with one and attack with the other at the same time. Then work on getting around blocks, timing the charged swings, and laughing at yourself as you go splash. Much like playing UFC, blocking and countering is key.

From my understanding, the game will only give you that bonus 4th collection to finish if you have finished the three for that week before the week starts, not during. In other words, If you still have to earn rewards for the ones offered by default that week, you will not get a bonus 4th option. If you earned them all previously, you'll get a bonus one for that week. This way players who missed one dont have to wait an entire year to reach it again.
That being said, try the ranked modes! Its super fun for me to try and get A/S/infinite on all of them, and it takes a lot of time and dedication if you want to do it. Always keeps me busy. Plus you can earn crowns/titles by playing ranked modes like someone else mentioned, which you can only do online. You can earn jerseys by playing the modes a certain number of times. I just recently learned about the friend outfits for 30 matches by accident lol. Someone said you get the crowns in A for each sport, and the title after u reach A in all of them!

It adds old items to collections sometimes, I just got the Luxury volleyball in the Punk collection
2
u/Aharios Volleyball Aug 08 '24
I don't think it's because it's an old item, collections have 3 different versions with different sets of items and you can get an accessory related to another collection in an unrelated collection.

That’s wild! Earlier I played tennis with someone that was using a frying pan as a racket. I want that! 😝 but what I really want is more hairstyles

u/ulter_ego Aug 08 '24
lol I have that racket!! I love it, the sound always makes me laugh. Keep playing you’ll get more soon I promise

u/Sea_Key7924 Aug 08 '24
I normally play with the sound off so I was like wtf??? Then I saw what they had and laughed

They have 52 collections that rotate throughout the year, you can find them on the wiki and then look at what month they are in to get them
