Football season is almost here and that means NFL games and other football games will be aired in the coming weeks.
If NFL Referees Played Fantasy Football
While many have already dipped their toes into EA Sports College Football 25 and await the upcoming Madden NFL 25, a surprising new competitor will soon enter the ring. Ubisoft announced today that they are partnering with the NFL for a new mobile game called NFL Primetime Fantasy. The free-to-play game will allow players to collect virtual cards of their favorite players and teams and build the roster of their dreams.
However, the game also bills itself as a real-time strategy game that doesn’t lock users into a specific team on game day. If a player on your roster isn’t performing as you’d like, you can trade him or her out and replace him or her with someone on your bench to improve your chances. NFL Primetime Fantasy will also make use of stat modifiers that users can give to players they think will perform certain actions during a game to get more points.
It’s certainly a unique take on the fantasy football genre, made even more interesting by the fact that it’s being published by Ubisoft. While it’s not uncommon for the company to make licensed games, like Star Wars Outlaws or Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora , an officially licensed NFL game is something you’d normally expect from Electronic Arts.
