Is UFL the FIFA Killer?

[@lucianno21p]

I think I’m cooking something, hear me out I feel like UFL has the chance to bring a football game to the next level customization wise with these skins. Imagine if these guys gave different skins to players not only affecting certain stats but with the way they’re modeled as well. Take Ronaldo as an example, you have both base versions with short sleeves and long sleeves, but you can pack more skins like a spiky mohawk Ronaldo with long sleeves (Utd days), a slicked back Ronaldo with short sleeves and wristbands (early RM days), a noodle hair Ronaldo with long sleeves (last RM season), a taper fade Ronaldo with long sleeves (Juve days), a buzz cut Ronaldo and many more, each having its own rarity and stats’ boosts regarding each era. Just imagine doing this with lots of players, Messi, Neymar, Vini, Ramos, TAA, Haaland, Mbappe, and many more maybe including legends. Me personally, being a huge Kaká fan would love to have a chance at getting a long haired Kaká with long sleeves and black gloves which is the version that made me fall in love with this sport. I know it’d be a lot of work but just imagine how exciting it’d be to have these models in the game, that way they’d make a lot of money as a company and I’m sure people would LOVE to get their favorite players’ skins, especially those that hold a special place in their heart. This way people who are willing to spend money on the game can do it without breaking the game and it keeps the game’s non-P2W idea alive. Please tell me if I’m onto something here or I didn’t cook shiii 😭🙏🏻

UFL haters need to be more open minded and realize that competition is good. We need competition in a game like this. I will leave you with this. Why do you think that the Path to Glory promo with its content was so good the same day UFL Open Beta dropped? They didn't want anyone going to UFL. That alone was a small glimpse of what competition for EA could look like.

[@raz6446]

Remind me of CSGO. As a veteran player I'm pretty pissed off when valorant came out but not because of how the gameplay similarity which is pretty closed, but it because how the game managed to bring in more outside gamer to try their fps version despite CSGO being the OG of fps

I wished they'd just release it in its beta state while they continue to work on the final product and they can update the beta along the way so we can continue giving feedback. I would play the beta as it was last weekend every single day until they release the finished product. It was so much fun and didn't feel scripted at all.

[@eduardoromo4604]

I didn't have a chance to fully test it out but from the couple of games I did play the gameplay was a breath of fresh air and the game looks promising.

[@hazzmattplays1100]

I imagine having a beta out constantly drains time and resources to keep the servers up. Also if they still have a long way to go leaving the game out in that state even though it’s fun it would get boring and leave people with a negative idea of the game when the final product releases

[@Foe_K]

nah honestly they should just focus 100% on working on the game instead of having to buy servers in different countries/continents and constantly fixing bugs and glitches

[@alexreuther5214]

I don’t think they should change anything about the finishing. I always felt that with FIFA/FC the finishing was way too consistent and that it should be more manual. Not every one-on-one with the keeper or great chance in the box should result in a goal, just like in real life, even great strikers miss sitters, but in FIFA they rarely did. The finishing stat never felt that important in FIFA, because the game made finishing so easy. Taking the same shot from the same position with the same amount of power should not have the same result every time, the variability is what prevents strong meta‘s as it prevents players from seeking out that one spot on the pitch over and over again because they know they will score from there 100% of the time. Instead the gameplay would open up as players would have to try different things during a match to try and score.

[@adityasriram5189]

in that sense, having rebounds going all over the place also makes the game quite life like. every pass is not successfully intercepted in real life and every tackle is also not successful in winning the ball. ultimately it depends on whether you want a more competitive game or a more realistic one. the best game in a competitive sense may not be the most realistic.

[@alexreuther5214]

@@adityasriram5189that’s a fair point

[@MR12AMAZING]

That would just frustrate players even more lol. The community would go into a rage if one on ones were too inconsistent. I understand it's more realistic and would encourage variety but as the guy before said it's not good from a competitive standpoint. People already complain immensely about rebounds, bad passes, so imagine an increased rng with shooting.

[@drchtct]

I missed the opportunity to play it but from the videos I've seen both the gameplay and especially the menu content looks very fun and a lot better than I expected. I think many people who are used to FUT will just look at "what's different" but if you make yourself free (haven't played EAFC since October, fuck that game), you realize this is a very interesting concept. They circumvent the license issues by focusing on the players, which also makes sense since you build YOUR team, why would their clubs matter after you signed them? It's about the players and as long as they have all the players and put them into interesting promos (current ones look great, kind of like Match Attaxx / Panini trading cards rather than the always the same FUT cards in different colors) this can be very fun and replace FUT for those who are tired of EA fucking Sports.

They could have three player skin tourneys with like a low tier player, mid tier, and high rated player.

@@feliperibeirofolgosi5622 100% agree. And it’s even true in games that don’t have as much AI importance like sports games (where you control 1 of many players). This sentiment of “this game/franchise is going downhill” is consistent across most of the popular PvP games over the last 5-10 years. I think in reality the player base is changing and while games are getting better, the player base is getting tuned into the meta at a faster rate. That being said patches/nerfs can be used to combat that and EA has done a poor job at that this year. But I get their dilemma with a market based player acquisition system and the fact that certain nerfs affect players price.

Although a great video with constructive criticism I just disagree with a few things. I play Efootball a lot, like a lot and although I enjoy it, it’s not a better game than EA FC. The AI interceptions are crazy, it’s hard to dribble sometimes because the defenders are stuck to you like glue almost as if they were constant pressing and a few other things about the game. The second thing is you contradicted yourself a bit about EA FC saying all you have to do is hold the sprint button with one player. But then a few minutes after you mention EA fc and efootball have the craziest AI catchup. Most of the time You’re not catching up to anybody on EA FC if they’re gone.

[@SlCKNESS_]

My biggest gripe with this UFL game, and I'm not trying to take away all the hard work the devs have done here, but my biggest gripe with this game is that they decided to copy (or be inspired by) fifa's gameplay, which is not a good base for a football game. All they had to do instead is take PES' (not Efootball, PES!) gameplay, add a few "fifa-isms" AND "Football Ultimate Team", with improvements of course, some general Quality of Life improvements and they would have the biggest football game ever made. No, seriously. If you had the capacity to make a football game from scratch I've no idea what on Earth made you go the "fifa gameplay" route over anything else. Fifa's ALWAYS struggled when it comes to gameplay. You fire up Fifa from '98 and EA FC 24 and you can see the almost identical (albeit quite a bit more sophisticated) "ball stuck on foot" and "on ice skates" animations. Maaaan, I had high hopes for this game. I'm not mad, just really disappointed.

Honest review (After 40 games) actually i like to play a diffrent football game The game feels like an Alpha rather than Beta at this point. Though that's what a beta is for and hopefully the devs are going to listen and not be disheartened with the actual hate and no constructive criticism it's getting at the moment. A lot of the issues could be server based, though, as the gameplay feels slow and unresponsive. • Tackling needs improved, feels really unresponsive, and very little follow through to actually come away with the ball. Seems as though players have no aggression at all. • Shooting needs a complete overhaul. Feels like it's a lottery at times. Doesn't seem to go where I'm aiming at all. • Passing is fine for the most part, need the power and speed adjusted just IMO. Every pass feels like it's going toward the right player I'm aiming for so no accuracy issues. • Set pieces need reworked entirely. Free kicks are too easy to hit the target (top corner). Pens are too quick (ball aim) for high skilled pen takers, will try lower skilled players today. Corners are basic, have no complaints, I would like to see something new, though. • Animations need to be polished, whether it's keepers diving erratically or players jumping for corners, they look way off and cartoonish. • Menus and UI are slow and sluggish but seem to be going in the right direction. Everything looks very well polished but just needs to be more responsive. I think the game has a lot of potential and we all need a proper fifa rival but at this point it feels like it won't be this year. I HOPE I AM WRONG THOUGH. At the end i will not give 200€ to fc25 noway! Ok fifa is last point on football but has lots of issue on online unplayable. Dont forget this, in fifa series an ufo land to pitch and was taking players from there to here. So give chance and support ufl and 2k. I really enjoyed more than fifa in beta ufl.

[@peter-mv5gk]

loved the attacking ai...with more fluid animations/passes etc..this game could really be good

[@xGusth]

I really hope they focus on offline modes too because if they take the Konami route I won't touch the game there has been an absolute 200% focus in the gacha mode for the past couple of years and it's the most unbalaced and boring mode ever made. I miss the days where FIFA worlds was played with real teams and the player skill was needed now all you need is a credit card.

[@luka_santi]

People are capping. If you want to play UFL you may as well play Dream Soccer on mobile. Basically same thing. There’s still a lot of work to be done. Atm it’s LIGHT YEARS away.

[@RaktimLahkar]

a lot of casuals are not gonna be buying FC26 or even FC25 if GTA VI releases next year maybe when it goes in discounts but not gonna pre order for sure.

[@MR12AMAZING]

Nah the casuals will still buy FC. People been complaining about EA for years yet still purchase the game on a yearly basis. It's the exact same as the NBA 2K community. As long as people have a love for football they will continue to purchase EAFC24 to fulfill that need. GTA VI won't really cut into sales, people will just buy EAFC alongside it. None of the big releases in the past have ever really cut into FIFA sales so I don't see GTA having a big impact.

[@iTzIronPedro]

they should go for the liga mx license thir contract with Konami expires this year

[@dazzaMusic]

Lack of responsiveness when playing this and the servers were terrible it took almost five minutes to find a game.

[@smokerefc]

After that free weekend, going back onto eafc was unbearable. I can't wait for the full release

[@Ncomyn8]

MEXICAN STANDOFF🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@MrWhitmen1981]

It should be, eafc24 is not in a playable state it’s time to get good on the other game. Eafc24 can’t be fixed next year. The other is going to get better slowly. Ea is this the only game that gets worse every now and then. Clear

[@foreign4696]

Ea fc is like cod no matter how many replicas come out it will always be the main game to play

[@yowhatsupwidit]

Ufl don’t take your time! As an Australian who never got to play the beta because of region issue. So many of us are so over ea and would dream of playing this pls drop another worldwide beta

[@CaputPharao]

If they start holding tournaments like EA they will start getting acknowledged.

[@gv_-06]

Man they also have to make the left stick dribbling more viable, cause you basically couldnt dribble at all

[@murraygrams5241]

I am excited for this and will it come out ahead of 2k?

[@kieronppp]

No PC beta was harsh

[@AngusBrier]

Hey nick hope your doing well just wondering I'd we were going to get the rat to glory thus year or are you going to be a weak kid

[@p.a.i.nnagato6965]

EA dont update the game. "Yeah the next update is due in a month". 6pm Content time comes... 10 Mins later "Guys we gotta patch game, I mean the packs they're broken"

[@thelolhounds2.0]

League of Legends was not the best moba on release but it exploded because it was free to play. Fortnite on release was considered a worse pubg for poor people. It exploded. I don't think people understand the power of free to play. Why should I buy the next Fifa if I can just play UFL for free. Why would I convince my friends to buy the next Fifa to play with when I can just tell them to download UFL. Now Im not entirely convinced UFL will be a massive success yet. Being console only hurts because everyone has a PC/Laptop but not everyone has consoles. Also how long will the grind be for f2p to get a meta team/Ronaldo? The gameplay doesnt have to be better than Fifa. It just needs to be close enough to compete where the casuals wont be able to even tell the difference. Anyway I havent played a football game in years so I dont know why Im even commenting 😂

[@tristanhuistian]

all they need to fix now is the insane input delay

[@tonysoprano1305]

Bro they are light years away

[@Bissx]

00:54 something ea devs would never do

[@jorder]

Obviously gameplay had some issues and bugs but after spending a few hours learnings I actually really like it. The menus are incredible also. They will definitely need some good game modes too if they wanna compete because both EA and Efootball are awful in that department

[@donkey9113]

looking at the gameplay the passes look in general like the meta very fast and strong i like it

[@JustMattLive_]

Finesse shots are good but its hard to master it i wouldnt say its meta or Overwhelmingly OP like FIFA metas have been

[@SloRush]

Haven't played fifa in 10 years and just got FC 24 a few days ago. Don't remember fifa being this janky. The controls suck, optimization sucks, competitive sucks. Forgot to mention, FC 2024 is the most P2W game I've ever played and it's not even close. I really hope UFL is different.

[@chrisbaynes9289]

The game was so much fun nick I was gutted when they ended the beta ... wanted to carry on playing ... And now I'm back on e football with a sad face 😞 cuz I want ufl to release

[@herohelsloot9785]

Hope it'll come on PS4

[@DannyTurk]

They need to remove goal keeper moving. We don’t need those rat mechanics. If defending is that good then we don’t need it.

[@Marcus-wj5ju]

UFL was an open beta. It still had way more consistent gameplay than EAFC 24. Just let that sink in.

[@hunterlittle3843]

EAFC is the FIFA killer. RIP an icon

[@GamingEnjoyer]

24:15 I hate when people say the fifa 19 first time shots were undefendable, had some friends that were way worse in attack but gk movement was so fast in this game that i couldn't score first time shot for most of the game cuz I needed to bait them first that im shooting far post first time strike and needed to go for the near post. So I feel like in this game u could defend it

[@adnanassaf350]

Nah, it's just broken bullshit mechanics that shouldn't work, that's what fifa 19 was, the finesse shot made NO sense

[@GamingEnjoyer]

@@adnanassaf350 every fifa game has broken bullshit mechanics and nott only fifa most of the games have some. My point is that in this game it was really easy to defend if you made right move

[@adnanassaf350]

@@GamingEnjoyer I disagree, because you simply couldn't make the right move even if you know what your supposed to do, plus fifa 19 was 200 times more broken than any other fifa, eafc24 imo is worse because of all the mistakes and shit they got wrong, but fifa 19 was horrendous

[@GamingEnjoyer]

@@adnanassaf350 I liked fifa 19 more before the patch, with finesse but the after patch crosses and volley killed it. And I disagree cuz u could move gk just before the shot and shot is stopped and what I feel like it's the worse change is in the previous games shots were so good gk couldn't catch it and now the shots are going really really slow and the broken shots are going in cuz gk has no animation to save it and I hate it it's not the shot it's the forced "animation" that is almost no animation for gk

[@KVOSkillz]

Is it just me who didn’t think manual tackling was that good? When I press the tackle button the reach of the tackle is so small, also so many times I’m manually running to intercept a pass and it goes right past my player

[@hazzmattplays1100]

I didn’t mind the gameplay. It wasn’t good but it wasn’t boring and pifa is. Felt much more rewarding and like you had to actually do things yourself rather than skill spam and let ai do the rest

[@bobby4363]

Konami's EFootball (PES) is now a free game after copy and paste release every year. They knew none of the developers were improving the game engine, animations, collisions..etc. So they did the right thing, Free game and introduce EAs formula ...micro transactions. They still make money with just copy and paste with minor changes. UFL will do the same. Shit of a game with micro transactions. Robotic, horrific collisions..etc but people will play it.
