Soccer Ball Design

So I'm sure the regulars are sick of the dumb questions from the novices, but have they changed all soccer ball designs or just the ones used for the World Cup? They just showed an upclose shot of the one in the Finals today and that thing looked badass. Do they not use the old school octagon spot design anymore?

I haven't seen a professional game use one of those in years.

There is always talk about the ball leading up to the WC... Last time the said it moved too much in the air. A new ball is designed for each WC and the don't use the octagon patches anymore.

They're all seamless now I believe as well.

Aren't they a couple hundred dollars each ball?

Looked like they have inverted dimples on it.

Replicas can be had for 30, doesn't have the same texture as the authentic

Nike still cuts their balls using the octagons.
