Monthly seasons will pit players against others as they rise up the Divisions to glory from Division 20 to Division 1
Win battles to move up Divisions and earn tokens
Bonus tokens will be awarded to those with winning streaks and to those playing consecutive matches

New seasons will use previous season data and status to determine starting Divisions and give returning players a head start
Season exclusive rewards can be won if players reach Division 15 and higher
This includes: exclusive player cards at Division 15, exclusive highways at Division 10 and a legendary-looking version of the player card for those reaching Division 1

Additional Updates:
