Man of the Match (likely a scam)

[Pagi84]

Sounds promising, watch for info here.

I messaged them and they basically slagged off EA's "greed is good" mantra and said how they want to actually create a realistic game, they appreciate football and they have some very unique ideas. So I'm optimistic.

 

[Pagi84]

I'm so confused, but intrigued. They say it is kind of like FIFA's The Journey, but can be from various POVs (manager, just one outfield player etc) and it's online.

I think if you are the manager, you control and manage the club and each player in your squad is human controlled , or at least can be if you wish.

Sounds far too ambitious to succeed, but God I hope it does.

another f2p, online only game. scheduled to be released in 2025.



lol, skip

Agreed, the scope of it sounds impossible, even if a behemoth like EA were fronting it. Although I've always seen FIFA's Pro Clubs as the next step in football gaming.

I hope it plays like my dream. A few years ago when I was playing FIFA's Pro Clubs mode and in a club that played every night. I envisaged expanding FIFA's Pro Clubs mode to fully replicate real football in every aspect, but no real footballers, just us, humans. We are the new stars. Then you'd have a virtual Spurs, Real Madrid, Milan, EPL, Serie A... even World Cup (if you are deemed good enough to be picked to represent your country). Literally create a whole world of football, every league system, every cup, transfers, loans, big money signings, prize money...

You could replicate a real transfer market full of humans that demand transfer fees etc. I see this as the next progression in football gaming. You replicate EVERY aspect of real football, virtually. As what is better and potentially more engrossing than just 1v1, or perhaps even watching real football? Actually becoming the next Ronaldo, virtually. Real drama you are a part of, not just passively watching.

Perhaps this is the genesis of something like that idea?

Hmmm so many open projects of new footy games around but not enough execution..

 

[MFZ69]

okay we are only seeing engine features and what game is about is it too early to announce or the dev progress will be fast ? they need to share gameplay things and because it is not a mobile game it is impossible to be highlights so let's wait and see

 

[Topaz]

Making a football game is virtually impossible until you have atleast 100+ people working on it. It's the hardest game to make due to how many animations you would need. You need atleast 20 animators to be able to build a sim-like game.

 

[jaygrim]

They say they don't have resources to have different modes but then say there's three already and many many more.

Also commentator mode, GTFO.

 

[Berjan1986]

its look like a scam to me..

Its also a big project so i think if they really want to make this its half done. Maybe even less. And they say its realistic 2.0 but i dont believe that. High expectations, low outcome. Thats what i think.

Commentator mode 😂😂

What do you do, buy a microphone and sit in front of your TV commentating? How bizarre would that be, I'd feel like a right idiot if anyone walked in the room.

'What you doing'
'I'm just commentating on this virtual game'
'Okkkkkkkk...'

 

[jaygrim]

And a sheepskin jacket.

Okay, now I'm in.

I’ll rather have referee/VAR mode myself.

New video with new info WATCH HERE

 

[ElChachoCoudet]

They're launching a trailer on Tuesday

 

[Pagi84]

They are doing the opposite of EA, giving people money back for playing. Every player gets money depending on where they finish in competitions. Lovely idea. Everything about this company and game sounds very promising, I'm begging this works out.

 

[Isslander]

I think this place needs a new sub forum for football games. Which would be great news if any of them was any good but that remains to be seen.

 

[Sami 1999]

I was interested until they said "online only".

 

[ElChachoCoudet]

* Online
* You will control only one player
* Available on PS5 and Xbox Series

 

[FCDallas_Fan]

I recommend y'all do a search about the founder of Man of the Match, Gilad Tsur Mayer.

Just did and found nothing of interest. Why, what have you found?

 

[Sovereign Hope]

Interesting to see new ideas. Looking forward to the trailer

as soon as i saw kickstarter project, i know something's fishy about it and i just realize something, the bald guy from thumbnail of trailer is the CEO himself, lol.

Bald fraud confirmed ?

Spoiler

 

[Pagi84]

It’s a Kickstarter!? I didn’t see that anywhere.

 

[Hayes]

Literally on their web frontpage, lol

[Pagi84]

Loads of new details, very interesting.

 

[Jay-Jay 10]

This screams: NFT, Ponzi Scheme etc very loudly

Buying and selling clubs, investing in clubs, cashing out....seems like Earth 2 football edition.

That didnt end well

Disappointing. Although it was an online game anyway, I thought it could at least be interesting. But no it definitely sounds like that.
