UFL: An Honest Review

[@Burt.Reynolds]

Let's be real.The game is shit, player movement look like Woody from Toy Story. We still root for it cause EA has really failed to deliver(yet again) and all the support we show is copium for a better competitor in the market for EA to get their sh!t together.

[@theweekndxo7438]

@@vzero8612 Lmao what? You think UFL is slow and steady? It's literally just get the ball, lightly tap through ball to your wingers and watch your player launch it two-thirds up the pitch and you're already running at goal. It's like that all game. The gameplay is bad in it's current state

[@theweekndxo7438]

Yeah this is my exact problem with the conversations surrounding this game. No one said it HAD to be better than FC right now and no one is blaming UFL for not being a finished product within it's first launch year, but man the part of the FC community that hates EA (which I'm included in) is so caught up in trying to hate on EA, that they'll just glaze this game just because FC25 is bad. But what they don't understand is that FC25 can be bad, which it is, but that doesn't automatically mean that UFL is better

I agree that it has the best gameplay but I'm not sure you've thought about the reason. PES is relatively slower paced but the animations are still sharp and it still feels responsive. Consequently you can still put a quick move together, fast players can still have an impact, it comes down to your skill and / or tactics. FC's pace is down to the obligatory yearly '1000 new animations' guff they need to put in a trailer that makes everything feel sluggish as they each have to play out. It might looks slick in a slow motion replay but it makes the game feel much less responsive. UFL has decided to copy the FC style, unfortunately.

[@theweekndxo7438]

I really don't get why this game just feels like they took an old FIFA from like 2012-2016 and reused old EA ideas or "quirks" that EA eventually changed because it sucked and everyone hated it. Some that are off the top of my head since I haven't played UFL in a week: - Cutscenes... WHY are cutscenes like celebrations, red/yellow cards, corners, free kicks, etc. SO LONG and require BOTH players to skip it? That's literally something everyone hated in old fifas that EA eventually changed to where the person who's getting the ball after the cutscene is the one who decides to skip. This isn't fifa 15 where people need to watch 3 different replays of goals and not be able to skip. It also takes forever for the skip queue to log that I'm spamming X which means you always have to at least watch 2-3 seconds of a cutscene. - Pauses: Pausing should only be allowed when the ball goes off the pitch, this isn't fifa 15 and I don't need someone spamming pausing when I'm in the box and the ball bounces and touches their player but I can still score - Freekicks: It's literally just the old fifa freekick system that EA got rid of years ago, why are you reusing it. It wasn't good then, and it's not good now - Penalties: Bro in my idk 20 games that I've played, I've gotten/conceded like 5 penalties and NO ONE has been able to score one. Not me or my opponents. If you watch NickRTFM's UFL videos you can see that even he can't score them. It's impossible. It's the old fifa system but like 10x worse because the ball does go where you put it, it can go anywhere within the range of the circle, which means just moving your keeper side to side is gonna automatically save it, if it even goes on target I'm not saying I want it to be like FC25, but why use things that people hated before from your competitors? Either come up with something new, or use the same mechanics, not old outdated ones

It doesn't take 1000 games to get 81 rated players because your team upgrades. By the time you'd played 1000 games, buying an 81 rated player would be pointless.

I understand most people don't want pure football simulation but with gameplay as fast as fifas you might as well go and play rocket league. (which a really fun game for me, not knocking it)

Been waiting for your review. Great vid as always, the game definitely has potential, it kinda reminds me of fifa back then, however they need to still polish the game and its mechanics and with the way they are always listening to their community and they aren't a yearly thing like fc 23, 24, 25 yadayada. In about a year or two we might just get a game that could rival EA fc

[@nu-agegamer3548]

I play the game daily and i agree. However i can justify it being ultra-grindy unless you pay, which is that, of course, it's free. They need to make money somehow (licensing is expensive, as we know). But unlike FIFA, if you play the game AND buy credits, you can get whatever player you want, unlike FIFA where you can't get shit with FIFA points. Just packs. Everything else i fully agree with though. There's so many times where i'm in a tight game against a sweat for example, and i'm trying to avoid giving chances away (especially corners, fuck those corners). And yet EVERY TIME I clear the ball, my defender (doesn't matter whether it's Araujo, Cubarsi or Hodza) pauses before clearing it, which annoys me because narrow clearances almost always go in the opp's favor (corner). Attacking play is also not great. Even amazing players like Haaland take such shitty touches (like you pointed out in the beta) and it's also frustrating that speed bursts seem to slow you down (sometimes i hit R2 twice to get away from a defender that's on my back because i'm smart, but he catches me anyways). Tackles and skill dribbles are annoying as hell (skill dribbling, much like FIFA, makes you immune to tackles so every time i face someone with a high rated team, I just die inside) Oh and of course, goalkeeper movement. Hate it with a burning passion still. That's another reason my heart sinks when i come up against an ultra-team. And the fact that it's full-range as opposed to 1-2 steps really frustrates me because it makes bus parking harder to punish.

[@theweekndxo7438]

Yeah but the problem is that it's way too skewed towards paying real money. 200m for $50 and I'm guaranteed Mbappe or Bellingham? That sounds worth it to me compared to playing 200 games for just one player, and that's why so many people are most likely opting for that. I agree, keep that in the game, but make it more expensive, however I think they know that and it's on purpose. They know people would rather spend a little bit to get a player guaranteed than to grind an insane amount

(Unfortunately I got this account banned) 2nd account however, abysmal pack luck. Played on it for 2 months approx. and my highest pull was only worth 98K and it was a dembele Trailblazer during market crash. I opened an 85x30 and my best pull was TS Gyokeres and lol he's only worth 150K. Point is that it was kind of obvious that pack luck is a myth cause if your account was cursed from the start.

And for some reason I think the ref has a vendetta against me cause all fouls on me don't count and literal close challenges that should only be a yellow gets me a red almost 8/10 of the time. And to sum it all of. As a div 2 div 1 player in fc24, I have only scored 1 corner set piece this game and that was in division 8 or so. I got to div 3 through pure spite, but at some point the light went out inside me. Hope a normal game drops soon cause I hear UFL the EA killer is as bad :(

[@RyanOakes-r3f]

It's might be slower but, it's not arcadey like fifa spaw skills spam shot, an the best thing I like no crazy updated football cards like the first ultimate teams on fifa best thing defo BTW I'm unreal at it only 10 games in

[@LewisLennox]

80+ players = 1000 games played is wildly and grossly innacurate

[@LewisLennox]

My team is 85* at 150 game played (how much did FIFA pay you to make this video?)

[@LewisLennox]

F2P

[@RAPPERreal]

dude idk..really seems like a you problem. I havent noticed bad dribbling at all..left stick feels way too good and skill moves are the same as fifa..

[@agazzii]

who made that team full of Algerian Moroccan and Egyptian players lmao

[@jves1763]

I really wish some of the FC creators, especially the ones that are the most outspoken about how crap EAFC has been for the last few games, would be more positive in there reviews of UFL. It's like someone stepped in and is actually trying to give us a game that fixes The vast majority of the problems everyone hates about FC and you guys immediately are like, it's mid.. It just came out ffs and the devs are actually engaged with the community. It will get better. And it's pretty good how it is at release. I actually like playing it a lot. Not gonna lie I think it was better at release before the few patches they've done so far but it's still, in my opinion, more rewarding, and more fun to play than FC. I understand that people are going to have different opinions about video games. Especially a football game but I love how I've heard several of you guys start your videos saying something like "is it gonna challenge EA's hold on the market?? No". That's cap. l've been straight up addicted to fifa since pretty much release of FIFA 22. Like literally login every day, play at least a few matches, Check content, etc. every single day.. until the first day of the early release of UFL.. Haven't logged into fc once since. Which is crazy to me. So well, it may not be anywhere near perfect game, it's still good enough to stop a four year full on addiction cold turkey. There is some jank the game but at least the devs actually acknowledge and respond when things are brought up. And at least when some jank occurs it's not in a way that feels like it's intentionally trying to steer the outcome of the match like it most definitely is a lot of the time in FC.

[@neilmcbride9497]

There is no reward for playing the game, with it being free you would think there would be more effort towards this.

[@Claudefather]

It's sad that we all shit on EAFC but it's still seen as the best football video game available 😂 How fucked up is that 😅

[@winstong7438]

I quit this garbage gold was impossible not fair to play

[@IMAGINEEEV1]

u are bit harsh on ur judgmental . plus i see everyone complain about the grinnding but if u think about it u play 1k games and u get 80 rated team that wont be deleted after year or a new promo card drop . i dont think people understand that they want people to progress but imagine u have every good card in game after 5k games what nw . what are u playing for except winning and gameplay . grinding is the most fun thing in any game . if u complain about playing 1k games to get decent games then u shouldnt touch online games and play an offline game then . like its mmore fun to grind and see that r grind was worth when u have good team but the fact of pay to win is also understandable for marketting they do and stuff they need to get sth back . i dont mind people spending some money to have better team as it helps creators keep going and its free to play same as old games where we used to grind f2p games and other pay . yea its un fair but its free to play same as playing phone game and complain about ads . those people need to make money in end bro this game did good job as starter and after 5 monthes everyone will have good team which make grinding feel weird bec i heared team doesnt get removed adn no promo card u know

[@MuhammadNizarKhalifi]

i think its hard for new player after 5 months. they still have 60 rated player but everyone have 90 rated maybe? I just start yesterday and cooked in showdown by 85 rated squad. imagine 5 months later

[@IMAGINEEEV1]

@MuhammadNizarKhalifi yea idk how the game gonna work but it will be like e football more than fifa . But i think its gonna fair bec people will get in divsion they deserve the more people they play .

[@Wonkywillsy]

The game might feel slow bcos of the players youre using? When you talk about player animations you use Valbuena from fifa and then use your squad of starting players as a comparison. Unfair, the players abilty improves as they lvl up. Another thing, you point out how many matches that are required to buy some players but fail to mention that unlike fifa, player squads dont get wiped every year.

[@jdevlin1910]

He showed him playing with higher rated players and still seeing the same problems man.

[@Knoxvitportion]

Does anyone know if UFL is better optimized than fc.(do u need a super computer to play it like with fc 25)

[@BrooksGonzalez]

I still prefer efootball over FC and UFL. In my opinion, both(FC and UFL) are the same.

[@itsmendo_]

I know it's unrelated, but since we have the winter break, I would love a vid about Atlético de Madrid. They came on top against Barcelona, but not only that. They have a 12 consecutive win streak and they have been scoring a lot of goals past the 90th minute mark. I don't think they get as much recognision as they deserve, considering they had a pretty bad start of a season.

[@papamuller]

Won because Barcelona were shit in finishing not because they were so good. Meat riding is a disease mfs did the same for Barcelona 2 months ago

[@itsmendo_]

@@papamuller The game against Barcelona was a unexpected win for them. But what about the other 11 clubs? If they are first, its for a reason.

[@donjuco242]

Fifa 2002 best ever!! 👌

[@cheleman17]

E football is the best of them all tbh

[@condossis1377]

The game at time plays like ping pong I’ve never seen passes shoot like rockets E football is still the best Sim on the market but unfortunately that game is 1000% pay to win So if UFL can emulate that gameplay they will close the door on their competition

[@andreichetan4694]

Efotball has so much handicap for f2p teams . It’s not p2w, because free teams are so boosted lol. Ofc cards with money can do some special stuff but they can’t abuse it. You people talk but you barely played efotball

[@palatialslumlord4938]

The largest head in the FIFA community, Dagnal

[@Adz_Plays]

Finally a fair and honest review. It's an ashame they ruined the game after a week. They made defending so assisted now amd shooting so poor while keepers op. Games way off where it needs to be. This should be what the beta build should of been not full release. Plus they barely make huge improvements passing for E.G has been unchanged for 9 months now.

[@Adz_Plays]

These devs clearly need help from outside but they won't because the games a money grab they don't even have plans after the first 5 months.

[@Adz_Plays]

Goals is genuinely more promising but doesn't get the time of day because 1 it's in pre alpha 2 they are going for a different art style

[@jdevlin1910]

Definitely an issue that they will swing so far based on feedback. While you need to take feedback on board you also need to have your own vision as what the players demand is often not what is actually best for the game. They seem like they will just make massive changes based on whatever the player base demands, this is not good for the game's future.

[@editionmarcus]

Gameplay is pure trash… everything else (menu, grind, customization) i really like!!

[@josephmeeks752]

Give them 2 to 3 years before being so harsh,even your youtube channel took time to develop,and stop being a wise guy

[@thatotherguy4528]

Bro thank you for actually having a brain these people think a free game is gonna be good on release 😂

[@redmarine2717]

​@@thatotherguy4528so they just release a shit game knowing it's shit rather than improving it before release 😂? What type of speds are you?

[@trugaminglegend]

You need to do a review for efootball 😂

[@hmp01]

5 types of currency is a classic move to physiologically manipulate consumers, strange you as a "content creator" don't know that the sports games are getting murdered by amateur content creators who know nothing about gaming. the fact that this game was advertised as "fair to play" yet they make 5 different currencies with clear pay 2 win and you don't even talk about that is all we need to know about sports games influencers

[@GameoverUK-YouTube]

Awful review... Element of randomness is good, not a bad thing. FFS. No mention of animation. "I want it fast" because thats how football plays. When you know the music, you know you shouldnt have reviewed this... 🙄

[@user-sm9zs7sc8u]

Sorry I agree that the gameplay is not good, but it’s exactly the opposite. The game is too fast. The passing is completely unrealistic, not even the best teams could pass in that tempo. All football games are so extremely fast they seem like they are made for children with ADHD

[@johnnyclementon4430]

this is NOT a Fifa competitor or killer it's pay to win with broken mechanics I was hyped for it and then played and got disappointed.

[@fikayomiolagbami481]

I agree the gameplay is slow, but someone who has been playing efootbal for the past couple of months, UFL is a significant improvement. The fact that I can’t see my players stats should be crime, the most important factor for me is game feel more like a test skill than compared to fifa

[@metalcorefreak4420]

nothing comes close to the PES/Football Life Series.

[@henrinieminen8594]

Fact is that this is games code is bought from EAFC and the game is same boll... with the ai level that makes the cards totally irrelevant. Then the ai level barely ever matches with the teams, so only one player feels like being God and the other one just fights against button reading ai that's so boring. When scoring u just wonder why the ai just stranded and when not u wonder is there like 5 man press in the box.🤣 But it's still 0,6 beta so the 1.0 will show us what it actually is. Probably we play a lot vs full bot teams too. At least in lower divs
