- UFM: Ultimate Football Manager is an upcoming football simulation game
- A return to the plain, 2D, numbers-based action of old-school simulation games, this is sure to appeal to old-school gamers
- But will the lack of real names and teams put some people off?
Ah, football, the attractive game. And not just on the pitch, as it has been proven to be the main way to make money on virtually every gaming platform. But of course, it’s not the players people want to be, it’s the managers. And if you’ve ever screamed at the TV in frustration and thought “I can do better than this,” then maybe you should prove it with UFM: Ultimate Football Manager.
This is football simulation in its purest form, and those of you who grew up with games like FIFA or even the newer Football Manager games may recoil in horror at UFM. Only 2D action? Emphasis on simulation elements? No real teams or players?! However, for older readers these may be more of sales arguments.
Yes, UFM is a cheeky throwback to the aged days of Football Manager and other sports sims. Where the raw numbers, your reaction to events and game statistics are the focus. Is it for everyone? Absolutely not. But will some people really find it exactly what they were waiting for? Absolutely.
Watch the game, it will move!
Of course, UFM will have some stiff competition, as the official Football Manager franchise recently agreed a four-year deal with the British Premier League. But that raises the question of how crucial the official branding is compared to the gameplay and precise simulation of the attractive game. We’ll just have to see how well UFM is received.
