American video game company, Electronic Arts, is taking a bold step into the mobile gaming arena, but not in the way you might expect. The developer that’s renowned for its FIFA series has recently unveiled EA Sports FC Tactical, a turn-based strategy game that promises to deliver “authentic football action like never before.”
Unlike traditional football games where players control every move in real-time, EA Sports FC Tactical emphasizes strategic gameplay. This means that every pass, shot, and defensive move is a calculated decision, turning the football pitch into a battlefield of wits.
The upcoming game offers a unique blend of football and strategy, where players will manage stamina, power plays, and even use special skill moves to outmaneuver their opponents. With a roster of over 5,000 real players from more than ten top leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, and Bundesliga, EA Sports FC Tactical will see fans engage with their favorite football stars, but in a completely new setting.
Matches in EA Sports FC Tactical are described as “interactive simulations,” wherein football enthusiasts will have the opportunity to defend, attack, and even perform skill moves in a turn-based format. This approach is expected to highlight the strategic depth of football, making every decision on the pitch crucial.
EA Sports FC Tactical won’t be just about the matches. The game will feature a variety of modes, from friendly online matches to intense competitions like Rank matches, Leagues, and Guilds. Players will also have the ability to train their football stars, unlocking new skills and traits. Customization will also be available, giving players the freedom to personalize their teams with different stadium designs, kits, and balls.
While the game is still in its early stages, the announcement has already stirred discussions among fans and critics alike. While there are those who see it as a fresh take on mobile football gaming, a significant number of fans have expressed their skepticism about the turn-based approach.
You can now pre-register for EA Sports FC Tactical on the iOS App Store and the Google Play Store. The game will launch early next year.
