Yes, my...
I can check it tonight. But i dont know how my pc is regarding to this title and their specs.
 
I received the invitation to test it in PC. And let me tell you, it's going in the right direction.
If I have to sum up the experience, I'd sayt UFL is how I imagined newer titles than FIFA 16 would be, but mixed with a bit of the unresponsiveness of PES 21 (probably due its current alpha state).

Let me describe it: imagine you take the FIFA 16 base, you add a lot of nice movement animations but you haven't ended the project yet. Current version looks good but sometimes feels unresponsive or scripted (probably due to lack of animations, or because it was intentionally scripted). Not as much as vanilla PES 21 though, but it is there.

Sounds are basic. Graphics are good, although it needs some more optimization on this side. I'm using i5 13600k + RTX 4070 + 32 gb ram and sometimes there are framedrops that inmho shouldn't been there because graphics aren't outstanding. At the same level of FIFA 20/21.

Overall, it's a nice experience. It's always good seeing new animations of movements in football games, because after a couple of years playing FIFA or PES, you start remembering all available movements and it can get boring. Something I would highlight is the way players run...much more natural than EA FC 25 in my opinion.
 
I played the PC demo and I'm 100% sure it's football.
Now I'm going back to playing real football (PES2019).
 
dood any chance we have a FPS Unlocker 4 this game, i cant say its pure crap playing at 60 fps locker
 
the game its almost a FIFA 14 (which at the moment sadly would be the best game in the market)

but still suffers from the same problems as fifa as efootball nowadays

scripting, high pass assist, no variability in the game etc

its fun but after like 20 games you can reach the premier division and these things start to show up more
 
I played a couple of offline matches with it.
It's not that I dislike it, to be honest, but it surely has something that I can't understand (for example the way passes are made, with the ball that seems to rocket from source to destination even if the pass is aimed to a player who's two metres away).

So, not a bad game (the presentation is good, the graphics are more than enough, and for a couple of times I even had a sensation like "oooh this is nice!" seeing some plays) but I've surely played better ones.
 
I agree with the above comments, tried the PC demo over the past few days and I was pleasantly surprised.

It's far from perfect for sure, for example the passing and shooting feels a bit odd/unatural to me, players do not have enough animations to make their movements feel smooth, powerful shots do not feel very powerful, etc. but overall I still had a good time playing a few games against the AI.

I genuinely had fun and definitely had some cool "oooh this is nice!" moments 😉

Hopefully they are on the right track and by the time they release version 1.0 it will be even better. All in all, and considering it is a studio making their first game from scratch, I would say they are doing a good job so far.
 
This is not as bad as people make it out to be. Played a couple of games, 2v2 is pretty fun, there are a lot of interceptions on the midfield. Passes and movement are a bit more rigid to the benefit of moving the ball around being harder. Shooting is kinda off, like you can only score from a handful of scenarios, also defending i could not figure out really but its a challenege that is welcomed. Matching up and the connection was surprisingly great.

All i say is good to have more football games. Just wish not all would focus on online only.
 
Played my first UFL match on PS5 today. Not bad. It's a game reminding me that the problem with eFootball isn't just about the lack of Master League or edit mode. It already made me want to check the possibility of modding once it's released, even though the game is online-focused.
 
Wow, they've put a lot of (marketing) work into this haven't they?

Heard it mentioned a few times recently so gave it another go on the Xbox.

Immediately it puts you into a cutscene (with some pretty amazing graphics by the way), then puts you in control of Trent Alexander Arnold, Jude Bellingham, Lionel Messi and more.

All wearing Adidas kits, with a scoreboard adorned by a "Season 25-26 Powered by Adidas" badge, Adidas logos on the nets...

I'm pretty impressed with the money they've splashed out - it doesn't feel like they're going away any time soon.

As for the gameplay... Well, I'd honestly say it's probably more enjoyable for me than FC even though it's more basic. Less varied but more grounded, which is far more important to me.

The ball still feels like an orb of light that is simply dragged from one place to another - there's no momentum, no acceleration / deceleration. But in an online-focused game where player input and responsiveness is the only priority, and passes simply HAVE TO reach their targets with no excuses (like pesky physics)... that's what we get.

(eFootball has the better gameplay - but also with some pretty rough ball physics, especially the weirdly slow-rising balls.)

Obviously there's no Career Mode or anything, and it's only FUT focused (all about the cards), so if you're not an online player there's nothing for you.

But if nothing else, it's fascinating - if they've got Adidas in the game and some big name player promo, they're obviously making money!
 
Hey all, just wanted to recommend everyone plays the latest update, which was over 20gb. I played their vs AI mode (I think called Squad Leagues) and actually enoyed it. I haven't touched it for a while, maybe late 2025, and from there feel like it's a completely different game.

Animations and passing feel is very nice. Still issues with defending and the odd ball ricochets, but in general I'm surprised by the level they reached.

I play on normal camera with zoomed as far out as possible, but there is also a new broadcast camera.

Definitely worth giving it go now, they're getting there.
 
this game is pure bullsit... if your main focus is on packs and gambling over gameplay than it happen, what hapend right now...

Game is dead and strikerz inc. quit half its employes....
