@@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

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.

@@cosmancho2959 efootball is the most AI out of these. you dont need to even control anyone, trash game 0 skill, it's just about who has the better team
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
Why do you want fast gameplay? I'll admit, Ufl is a little too slow for my liking but fifa/fc25 and all the fifas before it have been waaay to fast. Players were practically skating on ice, thats how unrealistic the gameplay felt. 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)
Great watch. I think for now the biggest downside is that they are purely competing with ultimate team. Which is a shame coz I would have preferred if they came out of the gates with other modes and stuff for those of us who are not tryna just play these micro transactions laden ultimate team style games. Like they really should have launched with pro clubs competition.
@SL0409 Yeah sadly 🎯💯. Rather than make a fully fledged competing football game they basically tryna make something to solely compete with the "ultimate team" phenomenon.
@jdevlin1910 Yep. Not knocking them for it. It's their choice no big deal. Just disappointed from a football fan POV is all. They had the chance to really ignite some competition to take us back to the days of when we had peak PES and peak TIF pushing FIFA but alas they basically just want in on the ultimate team pie rather than genuinely making a good football experience challenger.
Personally I think it's a fun game but still full of bugs so yeah, I hope they fix it and more people might migrate from fifa and pes to this game, but honestly right now it seems to be almost niche, not many people take it seriously
I don't think that speed is a problem at all. In fact they trying to please these fifa 17 players that do 1-2 and lob passes to a speedster exposed big gameplay flaws. For me the main problem is UFL's lack of logic: is easier to do a pass to the other side to the field than a simple pass, you miss open goals and shorts from thight angles are rewarded, like you showed in the video.
They had it right in the pre release all manual defending. All they needed to do was work out the passes and response time. So it went from 4/5 to straight 1/5 right now. January update will literally make or break them. I already deleted the game after the last update.
The worst thing is... DDA. Its SICK how gooooood is KARAMOKO and how bad can be a 80+ striker. If you have nice 80+ team and still loosing matches, try to buy free agents with 50+ stats and you team will be prime Real Madrid again
I’m absolutely loving the game at, yes there are issues but I’ve adopted the play style and enjoying the game tbh, I’m sure it’ll be much much better soon………….
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
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.
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
Bro u couldn’t be more wrong I’ve played 300 games and I’m already in ruby league without spending any money u just gotta grind, I have lb chillwell cb mbemba cb kimpembe rb dumfries cm rabiot cm tonali cm koke rw asensio lw garnacho st rashford all are 80+ rated players
All honesty gameplay is such a change from fc. The fact someone cant spend $100 to beat me is nice! Its made on unreal engine which from my understanding is very malleable. I have faith in this if the devs are super responsive and listen to the community
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
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.
Youre right,gameplay is...rough,with fair words. But thinking that this is the first year and its "ok" is surprising me. Fifa is out foor decades and bs gameplay. Give the devolepers time to twink and adjust. My guess is that the gameplay will be better in a couple of month. But honestly Im really fearing we wont see the game continue as the "average fifa player" is not giving time to a competitor. They are used to be the whales for straight p2w and just admit to it, unfortunately.
The point about getting all team of 80-rated players is so wrong mate. It’s not 550 millions, I’ve played for about 10 hours max in this game and get 3 players up to 81. I haven’t bought any of them it’s just upgrading system.
Efootball is waaaaaay better than UFL as a F2P formula and waaaaaaaaay better than FC when it comes to gameplay. Yall slipping on this game because you don't understand football.
FIFA 14 also had many receiving issues. I play it till this day coz its the best football game acc to me but the beauty of it is the randomness of fifa 14 where one time the touch is perfect and u have a good goal scoring option but another time even the best winger CR7 fumbles his tough and have to hold on to the ball till ur mates arrive. So just 1 clip of Valbuena's genius tough doesn't explain shit
There are some stuff I liked even in the gameplay but to me the most off-putting aspect was scoring: it doesn't feel very rewarding. I don't know how to express that clearly but EAFC still feels more organic (and god knows I hate giving praises to that P.O.S.).
Unless you pay you won't progress. My very first match in the game with the starter team was against a team with 80+ average players. How is that fair to play? How to progress from there without paying?
i like that u still ahve to get reputation by playing, so ppl who just swipe their card for credits will still have to play the game to unlock those players. however the grind is way too long ngl
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.
Totally unrelated but I think EA have pack probabilities pre-assigned to specific accounts. I got 2 accounts and on the first one I packed Mbappe tradeable from Squad Battles rewards. And then sold him to buy other players. fast forward I spend that money on a store pack and I get Ze Roberto and Rodri as my pulls back when the former was worth 700k I think. (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. Honestly no amount of grind would ever help you out. Also ended up discarding my 2 million worth team of pure SBC grind cause for the life of me I cannot continue to sweat a football game when I just want to play some traditional nice football instead of a game mechanic simulation. I still get PTSD of my attackers beating a defender only for him to chase me down like hulk with loki and smash me on the floor multiple times. 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 :(
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
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.
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.
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.
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
In two updates they added player handicap leveling ...and clear scripting and ai defending.. they are liars and clearly trying to catch some of the fifa community...they are liars ,plus its horrifically shite
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
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
It isn't quite the same, since evos are for 1 player and sometimes you have to pay for them (they are also restricted to a date and time). In UFL, its a tiny upgrade for everyone every match, entirely free, and it can even upgrade the bench (As Dagnal said in the vid)
If they change this for something like FIFA 14/15 mechanics game will be really good for now it’s really bad making me aggressive every day game is broken everywhere defending players run away from position this is crazy what is going on in this game there is no way to defend the ball with a header by a defender because it doesn't work, passing terrible ball control as well tackle really slow with delay referee fauls broken GK really bad always make mistakes. Remove this AI defense, it would be better if they made the ball tackle like it was in FIFA 14/15 with the X button this game is dog shit mechanics is bad really bad if they doesn't change this the game will die on twitch only 260 people watch it every day can't you do it the way it was in FIFA 14/15 defending and tackling and game will be nice trust me
Everything you said in the video I agree with.. but I DO find it offensive that the length of the video is 9:11.. it triggered me and I think a lot of other people.. perhaps in the future you could be more considerate because I was about to show your review to my mate but didn't because he lost his brother in 9/11 and it just feels like it would be in poor taste. I'm not gonna flag the video or anything but I hope this would be just a lesson for you. Happy holidays :)
for me it says 9:12 idk for some reason sometimes youtube takes a second off the vid for ppl or in the thumbnail. Anyways it was def completely accidental anyways
I don't understand your complaints about it being "too slow my player can't take a Quick touch and run" you're Just one of those pace rats that run mindless down the wing every FIFA game ? And then your show footage of people passing the ball in the midfield normally so, that's what's bothering you in football games nowadays? Passing the ball not running The wings. Is that it?
Football games always sucked. PES on PS2 was ok for the weak hardware but nobody can tell me it was good lol. PS3 only pes 2013 was barely average. PS4 gotta say 2015 was a little surprised, still just average game. Now efootball is just for the cards. FIFA EA FC will always be a pile of garbage. As for UFL, shutting it down would be for the best lol.
Your review isn't even remotely close to being true I haven't spent a single penny on this game and my team is 86-91 rated and I've played 400 game Your claim of 1000 games for an 81 squad is laughable I have 90 Alisson GK my back 4 is mendy (88) bissek (86) quaresma (89) Wan bissaka (88) Lw is Ramazani (88) Rw is ngonge (89) Cm Herrera (89) Cm Caicedo (91) St Balogun (88) ST David (90) 400 games and zero money spent gets you a team that smokes most people
This is very true. First few games you get around 500k per match but quickly doubles, plus the daily and weekly challenges add up. I'm getting around 10mil per day with around 6/8 matches. The rest of the review is pretty accurate however. But I'm enjoying it and will hope they fix some of the bugs and meta tactics

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
Why do you want fast gameplay? I'll admit, Ufl is a little too slow for my liking but fifa/fc25 and all the fifas before it have been waaay to fast. Players were practically skating on ice, thats how unrealistic the gameplay felt. 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)
Great watch. I think for now the biggest downside is that they are purely competing with ultimate team. Which is a shame coz I would have preferred if they came out of the gates with other modes and stuff for those of us who are not tryna just play these micro transactions laden ultimate team style games. Like they really should have launched with pro clubs competition.
They made the game for 1 reason and 1 reason only
MICROTRANSACTIONS
The whole game is geared towards you buying CP and RP
@SL0409 Yeah sadly 🎯💯. Rather than make a fully fledged competing football game they basically tryna make something to solely compete with the "ultimate team" phenomenon.
@@TheOnlyTaps To be fair they've been nothing but open about it being a FUT competitor and nothing more.
@jdevlin1910 Yep. Not knocking them for it. It's their choice no big deal. Just disappointed from a football fan POV is all. They had the chance to really ignite some competition to take us back to the days of when we had peak PES and peak TIF pushing FIFA but alas they basically just want in on the ultimate team pie rather than genuinely making a good football experience challenger.
@@TheOnlyTaps Sigh yeah, I do share your sadness with it.
Ufl so buns 💔💔💔 but at least the company behind it seems to be tapped in with the community. I know nickrtfm will agree with me if he sees this.
Fifa getting slower is actually a good thing. Much more realistic
3:25 they need to change the abbreviation of the credits
Personally I think it's a fun game but still full of bugs so yeah, I hope they fix it and more people might migrate from fifa and pes to this game, but honestly right now it seems to be almost niche, not many people take it seriously
I don't think that speed is a problem at all. In fact they trying to please these fifa 17 players that do 1-2 and lob passes to a speedster exposed big gameplay flaws. For me the main problem is UFL's lack of logic: is easier to do a pass to the other side to the field than a simple pass, you miss open goals and shorts from thight angles are rewarded, like you showed in the video.
0 views ? That’s crazy
😢"bro feel off" moment
@@khaledxo1234 he really feel off
Motor Oil oreo sounds deliciouss
They had it right in the pre release all manual defending. All they needed to do was work out the passes and response time. So it went from 4/5 to straight 1/5 right now. January update will literally make or break them. I already deleted the game after the last update.
The worst thing is... DDA. Its SICK how gooooood is KARAMOKO and how bad can be a 80+ striker. If you have nice 80+ team and still loosing matches, try to buy free agents with 50+ stats and you team will be prime Real Madrid again
I’m absolutely loving the game at, yes there are issues but I’ve adopted the play style and enjoying the game tbh, I’m sure it’ll be much much better soon………….
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
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.
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
Bro u couldn’t be more wrong I’ve played 300 games and I’m already in ruby league without spending any money u just gotta grind, I have lb chillwell cb mbemba cb kimpembe rb dumfries cm rabiot cm tonali cm koke rw asensio lw garnacho st rashford all are 80+ rated players
Just buy fc 25
you must be switching sides and crosses then,like all rats
Just get a job and buy fc25 bro it ain't harf
Some of us have lives
3:58 voice crack 👍
The highlights he gave .... bro was getting cooked by AI 😂
All honesty gameplay is such a change from fc. The fact someone cant spend $100 to beat me is nice! Its made on unreal engine which from my understanding is very malleable.
I have faith in this if the devs are super responsive and listen to the community
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
I dont think ea are concerned about ufl im just praying that game being made by the devs of sifu turns out successful.
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.
I quit this garbage gold was impossible not fair to play
Youre right,gameplay is...rough,with fair words. But thinking that this is the first year and its "ok" is surprising me. Fifa is out foor decades and bs gameplay.
Give the devolepers time to twink and adjust. My guess is that the gameplay will be better in a couple of month.
But honestly Im really fearing we wont see the game continue as the "average fifa player" is not giving time to a competitor. They are used to be the whales for straight p2w and just admit to it, unfortunately.
Somedays I'm tempted to boot up my ps4 account and download FIFA 15 again. Now those where thr glory days.
imma stick to football life career mode tbh
The point about getting all team of 80-rated players is so wrong mate. It’s not 550 millions, I’ve played for about 10 hours max in this game and get 3 players up to 81. I haven’t bought any of them it’s just upgrading system.
Efootball is waaaaaay better than UFL as a F2P formula and waaaaaaaaay better than FC when it comes to gameplay. Yall slipping on this game because you don't understand football.
It's more than that, they're legit terrified they'll get smoked by even low tier players because of it 😂
Stop it bro. PES stopped being good maybe 4 years ago. I can also bet you're staying this just because Efootball is free and you can't afford FC25
FIFA 14 also had many receiving issues. I play it till this day coz its the best football game acc to me but the beauty of it is the randomness of fifa 14 where one time the touch is perfect and u have a good goal scoring option but another time even the best winger CR7 fumbles his tough and have to hold on to the ball till ur mates arrive. So just 1 clip of Valbuena's genius tough doesn't explain shit
There are some stuff I liked even in the gameplay but to me the most off-putting aspect was scoring: it doesn't feel very rewarding. I don't know how to express that clearly but EAFC still feels more organic (and god knows I hate giving praises to that P.O.S.).
4:14 Hey Dagnal Don't talk to the my potato salad guy like that🇨🇿🦅
But the game doesn't reset so there planning to make you progress over several years
Unless you pay you won't progress. My very first match in the game with the starter team was against a team with 80+ average players. How is that fair to play? How to progress from there without paying?
Game is rough, but looks like work in progress, waiting for the next update😊
i really thought ufl was "fair to play" but i hate it
You people complaining about "randomness" being not scoring 1v1s, but scoring from a tight angle is hilarious.
i like that u still ahve to get reputation by playing, so ppl who just swipe their card for credits will still have to play the game to unlock those players. however the grind is way too long ngl
80+ players = 1000 games played is wildly and grossly innacurate
My team is 85* at 150 game played (how much did FIFA pay you to make this video?)
F2P
This game still has potentiel but too many patches too quick has ruined this already hopefully they fix this
Love the effort from the team so far
Free to play
Can 9nly get better
have you even watched the vid? f2p games are grindy af
You don't know that it can 'only get better'. sick of seeing this argument, this could be abandonware in less than a year.
I still prefer efootball over FC and UFL. In my opinion, both(FC and UFL) are the same.
The speed of gameplay u showed was against the cpu computer it’s faster when ur playing against another player lmao
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.
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 😅
Finalllyyy ✌️
Gameplay is pure trash… everything else (menu, grind, customization) i really like!!
who made that team full of Algerian Moroccan and Egyptian players lmao
Totally unrelated but I think EA have pack probabilities pre-assigned to specific accounts. I got 2 accounts and on the first one I packed Mbappe tradeable from Squad Battles rewards. And then sold him to buy other players. fast forward I spend that money on a store pack and I get Ze Roberto and Rodri as my pulls back when the former was worth 700k I think. (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. Honestly no amount of grind would ever help you out.
Also ended up discarding my 2 million worth team of pure SBC grind cause for the life of me I cannot continue to sweat a football game when I just want to play some traditional nice football instead of a game mechanic simulation.
I still get PTSD of my attackers beating a defender only for him to chase me down like hulk with loki and smash me on the floor multiple times. 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 :(
There is no reward for playing the game, with it being free you would think there would be more effort towards this.
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..
Finally a ufl review
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
1000 matches for Soucek
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.
He showed him playing with higher rated players and still seeing the same problems man.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Managed 17 games before meeting pay 2 win scumbags in silver 2 😂😂😂😂😂
It was a good effort but it's basically a copy and paste of fut
In two updates they added player handicap leveling ...and clear scripting and ai defending.. they are liars and clearly trying to catch some of the fifa community...they are liars ,plus its horrifically shite
The largest head in the FIFA community, Dagnal
Just add a card system lol
You didn’t talk about the RP deductions.
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
People are never happy. EA is crap, Efootball too fast, UFL too slow lol
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
1:35 evo's???????
It isn't quite the same, since evos are for 1 player and sometimes you have to pay for them (they are also restricted to a date and time). In UFL, its a tiny upgrade for everyone every match, entirely free, and it can even upgrade the bench (As Dagnal said in the vid)
If they change this for something like FIFA 14/15 mechanics game will be really good for now it’s really bad making me aggressive every day game is broken everywhere defending players run away from position this is crazy what is going on in this game there is no way to defend the ball with a header by a defender because it doesn't work, passing terrible ball control as well tackle really slow with delay referee fauls broken GK really bad always make mistakes. Remove this AI defense, it would be better if they made the ball tackle like it was in FIFA 14/15 with the X button this game is dog shit mechanics is bad really bad if they doesn't change this the game will die on twitch only 260 people watch it every day can't you do it the way it was in FIFA 14/15 defending and tackling and game will be nice trust me
keep my goat tomas soucek out ya mouth!! 😂😂
Everything you said in the video I agree with.. but I DO find it offensive that the length of the video is 9:11.. it triggered me and I think a lot of other people.. perhaps in the future you could be more considerate because I was about to show your review to my mate but didn't because he lost his brother in 9/11 and it just feels like it would be in poor taste.
I'm not gonna flag the video or anything but I hope this would be just a lesson for you.
Happy holidays :)
for me it says 9:12 idk for some reason sometimes youtube takes a second off the vid for ppl or in the thumbnail. Anyways it was def completely accidental anyways
I don't understand your complaints about it being "too slow my player can't take a Quick touch and run" you're Just one of those pace rats that run mindless down the wing every FIFA game ?
And then your show footage of people passing the ball in the midfield normally so, that's what's bothering you in football games nowadays? Passing the ball not running The wings. Is that it?
Football games always sucked. PES on PS2 was ok for the weak hardware but nobody can tell me it was good lol. PS3 only pes 2013 was barely average. PS4 gotta say 2015 was a little surprised, still just average game. Now efootball is just for the cards. FIFA EA FC will always be a pile of garbage. As for UFL, shutting it down would be for the best lol.
The video has 999 likes so I am 1000th is should get fc points
Give them 2 to 3 years before being so harsh,even your youtube channel took time to develop,and stop being a wise guy
Bro thank you for actually having a brain these people think a free game is gonna be good on release 😂
@@thatotherguy4528so they just release a shit game knowing it's shit rather than improving it before release 😂? What type of speds are you?
Dagnal, my bro, please remember that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Give your friend some slack, would ya ???
3rd comment ❤
It's not slow it's how real football matches are it could be a bit faster tho. But dumb nerds like Fifa"s arcady brainrot gameplay.
yeah because it’s a video game not a real match lmao
Your review isn't even remotely close to being true
I haven't spent a single penny on this game and my team is 86-91 rated and I've played 400 game
Your claim of 1000 games for an 81 squad is laughable
I have 90 Alisson GK
my back 4 is mendy (88) bissek (86) quaresma (89) Wan bissaka (88)
Lw is Ramazani (88)
Rw is ngonge (89)
Cm Herrera (89)
Cm Caicedo (91)
St Balogun (88)
ST David (90)
400 games and zero money spent gets you a team that smokes most people
This is very true. First few games you get around 500k per match but quickly doubles, plus the daily and weekly challenges add up. I'm getting around 10mil per day with around 6/8 matches.
The rest of the review is pretty accurate however. But I'm enjoying it and will hope they fix some of the bugs and meta tactics
How has David been for you? I'm really confused on whether to take lookman or David from the pass.
The game is beyond stupid for its rp reduction bs don’t care till they remove that pure stupid decision I’m not bothering
If you go on holiday for 2 weeks your teams 40/60k in debt
Come back to being overdrawn with your rp credit 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
This game is a traaashhhh copy of fc 25....the devs dont have any clue how to make a football game...4 years in the making and listening to the fans just to make this stupid ugly game ...yea its the first season so what...trash is trash
