UFL, the new soccer simulator, officially presented its first images and, from now on, it is beginning to worry EA Sports and, above all, Konami.
A few weeks ago, during this year’s Gamescom, a new soccer video game was presented that, at that time, was already announced that it could concern the two largest companies: EA Sports and Konami.
It should be noted that, until then, titles such as FIFA 22 and the new eFootball were not yet on the market, which is why there was not enough reason to think that, in effect, the UFL could give a fight to the leaders in the market.
Today, with eFootball and FIFA 22 already circulating in the market, the story is very different and, after seeing the first images that he shared UFL In their social networks, it seems that the dispute is real.
It had previously been reported that one of the video game’s ambassadors would be Oleksandr Zinchenko, current player of the always powerful Manchester City and, since then, nothing else had been mentioned.

Now, once again through its social networks, the UFL announced the arrival of a new ambassador, the Brazilian star of Liverpool, Roberto Firmino, who will undoubtedly be the great bet of the video game to fight the two giants.

However, beyond presenting these players as video game ambassadors, what is striking is the graphic work that could be coming with UFL, a fact that has undoubtedly made Konami tremble and, if they are neglected, EA Sports.
Recall that after the launch of eFootball, from Konami, immediately, Internet users fans of the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) saga strongly complained about the graphics of the new video game of the Japanese company, which even made some consumers went to the competition, FIFA 22.
In addition, as reported by Steam, eFootball has been the soccer video game with the worst rating in history, something that undoubtedly represented a serious blow to Konami.
Now, the UFL does not arrive alone, but also arrives announcing an alliance with one of the historic teams of the Premier League of England: West Ham United, one of the most important clubs in London.
In these times where companies already create exclusive alliances with different teams, UFL, although it is not announcing it as something exclusive, has in mind to start its arrival in the gaming universe on the right foot and, above all, for those who were unsatisfied with Konami’s proposal.
This is probably where it could hit a hard blow, taking into account that eFootball has received severe criticism since its launch, although the company has already reported that it will solve all the errors that caused the wave of comments that are putting the Japanese company in check. .
Will it be a concern for EA Sports? At first glance, it seems not, since with FIFA 22 the American company has already sold more than nine million units since it hit the market (last October 1).
On the other hand, EA Sports is experiencing key moments, since, recently, it mentioned that it could change the name of FIFA for next year, given that it has said that it is not willing to pay what the International Federation of Association Football requires.
Undoubtedly, the battle of soccer simulators will be even more interesting with the arrival of UFL to the market, although it has not been said when it will be officially released.
