Will FIFA and eFootball soon face competition ? With GOALS , Andreas Thorstensson wants to bring the third major football simulation onto the market and outstrip EA and Konami. We give you a first overview of GOALS and the goals of the new brand!
Pay2Win, momentum and server problems – the problems with FIFA are quickly listed. Konami at least wants to break new ground with eFootball and launch a free-to-play version of its hit game . But still: the dominance of the two developers is too great, innovative innovations have been sought in vain for years.
That gets Andreas Thorstensson on the scene! The former CS:GO professional and current developer wants to bring a breath of fresh air and stir up the market with his new project GOALS. We’ll show you what goals the Swede has set himself and what GOALS wants to do differently than FIFA and eFootball !
Licenses, multiplayer and esports – all information about GOALS
GOALS is set to become a fully-licensed AAA title that’s free to play – the game knows no boundaries! It should be mainly focused on the multiplayer, the focus is on the gaming experience. The topic of Esports is also of great importance for Thorstensson and his company, and the requirements for this should already be met at the time of release. The Swede also has the best qualifications for this, as a co-founder of SK Gaming he has the necessary insider knowledge and the right connections.
Thorstensson is particularly disappointed with FIFA. After more than 5,000 FUT matches, the Swede noticed how broken the world of esports is. With GOALS, constant lag and server problems should be a thing of the past – a blessing for all FIFA players. How exactly this is supposed to work remains to be seen. The FPS shooter Valorant should serve as an inspiration, which shows a very good performance.
Earn to Win statt Pay to Win
Another feature that FIFA and PES veterans might enjoy is the lack of handicap mechanics. In other words: no more momentum. The better player wins. A ranking system should also be planned, but unfortunately there is no more detailed information about it.
With so-called crypto tokens, GOALS also wants to become financially attractive. A revolutionary system should enable esports players to earn money directly by playing. But here, too, there are only statements about it so far, the actual implementation remains to be seen.
GOALS – information about the release
Unfortunately, we still don’t have any information about a possible release date. In all probability, GOALS will be delayed at least until 2022 or even 2023. So far there has only been the announcement by Thorstensson himself and an insight into his ideas. At the moment it is all about finding investors for the project.
As you can see, so far there has only been the announcement and some hints about the goals of GOALS. Some of them look really promising, but the whole concept seems a bit huge and dreamy at first glance. But we like to be surprised by Thorstensson and his crew and look forward to a new football simulation!
FIFA 22 – FUTs
What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.
Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities
Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.
EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME
Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.
In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
