Much has been said about UFLMore (Universe Flag League), the new soccer game in the style of FIFA and eFootball. But what do we really know about this game? Will it be a worthy competitor to the aforementioned giants? Or will he be stranded in oblivion? Well, that and much more we want to find out today. Stick around to find out everything we know to this day about this promising video game project.
The world of soccer video games is in low hours, or so many players perceive it. A gameplay that has hardly improved since 2017. game modes that they don't explore as much as one would like the multiplayer environment. Errors or mechanics that feel like injustices. Failures in the connection by the servers. So, yes, a new competitor would definitely do the players some good, not because he gets to solve all the problems, but causes everyone to solve them together.
What is UFL and when will it be released?
UFL is a soccer simulation video game in its final phase of development. Created by Srikerz Inc. using the Unreal Engine, the game will be free to play. The team is currently working hard to open the doors to this project. In addition to the obvious work being done with development, there are other very important tasks going on as well, such as obtaining the necessary licenses and advertising through all possible channels.
Since its announcement at the end of August 2021 at Gamescom 2021, we knew that the game could be released as early as 2023, but the team took their respective care not to promise anything, since they expressed that they would not confirm any dates until development factors were properly aligned.
These words have been liked by people, and it is that nothing like the game having a team working hard and being honest, exactly the impression that Srikerz has given.
What chance does the UFL have against eFootball and FIFA?
Well, in the current context, a priori, it seems to be the best time for a new soccer simulation game to appear. The Current eFootball and FIFA giants have their legendary competition stalled, both no real changes for years, the truth is that any fan of football games should be excited with what the UFL has to offer.
Adding a third competitor to the market would mean fanning the flames of the innovation, oblige each other to bring new ideas to the table, new attempts to improve the user experience and catch more loyal followers.
Don't get too excited about it either, if UFL turns out to be as good as expected, it will be the third best football game. And it would not be a direct competitor, but rather an emerging one, by a wide margin of difference.
The reason is that it is not for nothing that the other titles have been at the top of this category for so many years, today, these are highly polished products in each of their aspects. UFL will come out as a new and fresh title but with many imperfections and easily improvable factors.
However, the approach is good; a lot of attention to the online game, nice graphics and colors, and an attractive gameplay. But we'll talk about that next.
How is the game so far?
El March 26th an Alpha Gameplay came out where we could see a Full match, you can find it here. Below I will tell you a little in general.
La Gameplay it is noticeable as a intermediate version between eFootball and FIFAyes, one edition between the years 2017-2020. This is not a negative review, the game is still in development and they have a lot of things to improve. Even when it is released, it will still have a lot of things to improve. The good news is that looks functional, competent and enjoyableIt is not perceived as a joke.
As for the visual, there is nothing to fear, the work has been fine. The graphics and colors don't leave much to be desired., a great job has been done in almost every visual aspect from the stadiums (those that have been seen) to the fans, going of course through a great performance in the finishing of the players.
Where does the UFL have to gain ground?
Any game that wants to carve out a space in this context will have to attack online game modes, and try to find a stable connection between players. Another perhaps more obvious but highly relevant point is the Gameplay, achieve a more perfected finish than the one shown in the last gameplay y avoid at all costs the role of errors.
But I repeat it the game has not even been released and what has been seen is very good and promising. Presumably it could be available by the end of 2023, and until then, major changes will be made.
On what platforms will it be available?
To begin with, if the game is to have any chance, it is essential that it be multi platform. That said, its release is intended for the following consoles:
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox One
- Xbox Series X and Series S
In the future they plan to continue expanding, especially to Microsoft Windows.
General Thoughts on UFL
The idea is great, a free game who seeks to be accessible to all. With this, they have the objective of growing as a sports brand and having the game as their main product.
Other very nice company ideas is that they intend to make a highly competitive game, with particular importance and influence of tactics. Besides that the greatest responsibility will fall on the players and their skill.
Well, that's all, there is still a long way to go before we can enjoy a complete and well-finished UFL. But it's nice to know that in the future we could have another great soccer game. Let me know in the comments any questions you have, or your opinion about it.
