Competition is what we need now in football games market. I have no clue of programing or developing but from what I read UE is very flexible and easy to work with. I hope that using UE these companies can implement new ideas and develop simulation for a start, that could be the birth of a new strong football game. Of course it will take years to actually fight with Konami and EA for bigger share of the market, licences and stuff, but if they actually listen to community it could be really what are we waiting for. We'll see
The fact they are based in Europe is an interesting aspect of UFL, we'll finally get a take on football from a European perspective. The attention to detail is fairly impressive from what we've seen so far, and while it is F2P they seem to be making a big thing out of the "fairness" aspect so it suggests they want to take a different route with a "team building mode". It always concerns me when you don't even get a snippet of actual gameplay though, or see a ball moving, since that is where the rubber meets the road. Solo artists have made decent looking stadiums, so it doesn't mean an awful lot, but if it's an indication of the standard they are looking to meet in every area of the game then it could be promising.

I dream of occasional fanzine mentions
Konami have put themselves into a position where they aren't competing with FIFA for licenses as they don't really need them to make what will essentially be a mobile focused F2P myclub game.
Until this point, licenses have been the biggest barrier for a new football game entering the market.
It still takes some financial backing to get a decent game made, but now Konami have opened themselves up to competition for anyone that wants to take a punt, at what is now a far smaller financial risk.
Do you think it's possible for someone to make a better simulation of football than Konami at the same price point, with the same players available in game?
We're about to find out!

Of course it's always tempting to start analysing little bits in the screenshots, pick them apart and jump into conclusions.
For example:
I could say the grass in that one looks far superior and more realistic than anything we've seen in either FIFA or PES.
But then I could also say players running poses look awkward.
I really can't help it. I need to shut up and wait until there's an actual gameplay video.

I think Konami will end like stupidest company from all this. They better have something that will throw out of water all these companies that enter the market now or this will be end of them. For me they made biggest mistake developing free to play football game and spend 3 years trying to make it cross playable. Imagine Konami now releasing PES 22 with revamped animations, next gen graphics, independent ball physics, new ML build from scratch... ohh that would be punch in the face for EA and all these new companies but look where are they now... It's sad how they succeed to murder our beloved title.

Very true. They don't even have the brand recognition anymore so if these other free to play games are any good on the pitch they're screwed.
Basically FUT-like experience where you have to build your team but with no p2w mechanics and no rubberbanding, only skill.
I guess they'll sell cosmetic items to earn some money, like team logos for your team, kits, balls, stadiums.
Also I have the feeling it will be released sooner than expected.
Intersting, on paper.

...and the saddest part it's not the competition, but the fact that all those companies are going in the same direction developing a "Rocket League / Fortnite" type of football. At this point EA will be the only company that will invest in league/competition licenses & offline modes...

Except different people want very different things from a football game and we here are all too aware that the current trend is very much towards deliberately dumb AI to ensure it's all about your skill on the gamepad. The fact they state "The game is designed to be a fair to play experience that implies a skill-first approach" suggests which opinion they favour.
One of the best things they state is probably "The new gaming title will be available on all major gaming consoles".....no mention of it having to work on mobiles!

I took it as there'll be no scripting, no handicap, no rubbish. What will matter is your ability to understand and play the game.
I could be 100% wrong though.

With this new game being focused on online multiplayer, I doubt much time would be put into Player vs AI offline which is what most of us prefer so don’t have much hope in that regard.
Still it’s good to see new blood on the scene. And with the accessibility of the unreal engine I’m sure there’s less barrier to entry for smaller developers.

All of these games are essentially looking for a piece of the FIFA Ultimate Team pie.
To be successful, the game mode and content is number 1 I think. FUT is successful because the modes are addictive and everything is presented and advertised so well.
MyClub on the other hand has been a bit of a dumpster fire in terms of presentation and depth of modes.
Gameplay wise the game just needs to be adequate (see FIFA). People will play because they enjoy football and the teams and players they like to watch and play with. The modes and fresh content keeps them coming back and playing/paying.
None of this helps the rest of us who want to play offline career style modes of course.

Damn those cloth physics looking neat.
Being that said, F2P online game= we probably wont be able to mod the game properly since the game wont boot or ban you for altering the files.
At least not to the extent of adding more players, teams and stuff.

Not much left until we finally get a gameplay trailer.

I really don't understand why F2P can't be a real football game and be more simulation than arcade...
The focus is on multiplayer yeah but that don't mean that this can't be a good football game...
Look at fifa it had tons of offline modes but the gameplay is arcade, fast and crap as hell...
Iam in with e football, strikerz and goalz and whatever will come... I will play what gives my idea of football the most.

Because the demographic that actually makes F2P viable doesn't want simulation, just look at how the youtubers are flipping out because FIFA 22 is slightly less arcadey (at least by their account). I don't see how monetisation works if you aren't appealing to the type of person who is wasting money on cosmetics and packs. Anyone that wants simulation is likely to be more intelligent and slightly older and therefore in turn more likely to see how stupid it is to waste money through microtransactions in the first place. Unless someone comes up with a really bright idea to monetise realism then it's going to be this way indefinitely.

No, definitely.
I just mean the core feel, experience and structure. The fouls, the openness of the game, the feel or randomness and how nearly every attack has a different outcome .
As an experience in football gaming. It’s miles ahead of anything I’ve played since.

Of course F2P can be a real football game, here are some advantages from others fun F2P models:
+ entrance passes and season passes for €
+ cards, packs, battle passes and lots of variety for virtual coins
+ skins / customizable items for €
+ always online connection
+ "anonymous" data collected with the in game € performances
+ lots of fun popups and ads that appears randomly from nowhere with offers / cool rewards / items to purchase for a limited countdown time
+ a rich in game daily store who refreshes all the time with cool new stuff for virtual coins
....
+ the online gameplay is good
+ a better experience in gambling & poker
Well, yes sir I'm all in !!! (mostly because all those f2p games are free after all...)

I’m so hyped that there are going to be 2 more options for football games and with UFL, it looks like they’re really going to give it a go… it doesn’t look like a half assed budget job aka efootball.
Competition is a good thing and I’d love nothing more than Konami / efootball to be bottom of the pile of 4 football games.
Whilst UFL might initially release and be strategised towards online pvp there’s no reason to say the gameplay and vision for the game can’t or won’t include offline in the future.
