Free-to-play football sim UFL will take aim at FIFA and eFootball’s crown this year – and here’s the promising first gameplay footage to prove it. Billed as “fair to play”, this soccer sim will allow you to build your own squad similar to FIFA Ultimate Team, but the trailer promises that players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin de Bruyne will actually play like they do in real-life.
