Entering the football genre is pretty tough, knowing that EA Sports FC (nee FIFA) monopolised the arcade side of things while Football Manager rules the realistic simulator.
But there is space for a competitor to EA FC and eFootball (nee Pro Evolution Soccer), and that could be a hungry new upstart.
Up steps UFL, and not only has Strikerz Inc. already acquired a huge number of licenses for the title, they've now announced its core Ranked game mode which combines the best of Ultimate Team and Clubs from its rival FC 24.
UFL announces Ranked Mode, a blend of EA FC's Ultimate Team and Clubs
Backed by Cristiano Ronaldo, UFL has been a long time in the making and has hoped to live harmoniously in the football market alongside its competitors (which could be growing by the minute with 2K reportedly reigniting FIFA) by being a "competitive" and "realistic" football game.
Strikerz Inc. has now announced UFL's new staple game mode "Ranked", which appears to be a blend of EA's Ultimate Team and Clubs, boasting the player-gathering and squad-building elements of the popular FUT while implementing the upgrade system seen in the current Clubs model.
The new tutorial on Ranked mode shows that the game will have a global leaderboard where you will have "intense competitive games" and climb the ladder through different divisions, such as Bronze, Gold, and Platinum.
Players will buy their players from a new 2K-like market (check out NBA 2K for that), and build custom squads like on Ultimate Team, then upgrade their players in an Evolution-like manner, but with the FC 24 Clubs ability-tree method, picking which attributes to heighten on your specific player.
The tutorial shows that you can upgrade players quite heavily too, as they show Ross Barkley being buffed up to an 86-rated CM.
With a Ranked ladder more synonymous with gamers in FPS titles, UFL looks to be quite a fruitful and competitive game which will challenge players of all abilities, as long as the gameplay holds up.
