If you are fed up with EA FC, this promising football game may well be for you. And good news: it is currently available in free test on Steam.
The landscape of virtual football games is changing. While the FIFA series, now renowned Ea fcremain solidly in mind, new projects are trying to find a place. Among them, UFLa game developed by the Xten studio, which has just arrived on PC via a demo Steam free. A long -awaited first appearance, which could well seduce players looking for a more realistic alternative to EA simulation.
A long -term project that leaves the shadows for this competitor of EA FC
Announced four years ago, UFL has been developing since 2016. Its ambition: to offer an accessible, free and more balanced football simulation than its competitors like EA FC. If the official teams are not present (names and logos are fictitious), the game still offers a large casting of real players.
On the interface side, the approach is more refined than that of FC 25, with simplified navigation, thought to go to the basics. The progression system is based on a mode close to Ultimate Teamwhere all team members gain experience after each match. A good way to counterbalance EA FC?
An economic model designed to avoid abuse
UFL is positioned as a free-to-play Unlike EA FC, but with interesting mechanics. To obtain new players, there are two types of resources:
- of the Credit pointswon by playing or bought against real money,
- and Reputation pointsobtained only in winning matches, selling players or climbing in the leagues.
It is therefore impossible to buy success directly: it will be necessary to prove its regularity in the field. This system aims to avoid typical imbalances in online games where the wallet often takes precedence over performance. On the ground, UFL Adopt a slower, more thoughtful style than EA FC. Here, there is no question of chaining spectacular technical gestures as in Arcade football games. The management changes are heavier, the actions more tactical. An approach that evokes more The spirit of the ancient pes than that of the last EA Sports games.
Everything is not yet perfect: long passes are sometimes too precise, the guards lack a little reactivity, and artificial intelligence still struggles to build various attacks. But overall, the game already offers a Solid baseand above all a feeling of play different from what competition offers.
