UEFA Champions League: game features

The official fact sheet for EA’s upcoming Xbox 360 football game, UEFA Champions League, informs us on several key features of the game.

Amusingly, what stands out most is the fact that the game allows for the use of collectible cards (yes, collect cards in football?) to affect key moments during match. The game should feature four game modes.

There’s the Ultimate Team Mode, wherein you can build your “ultimate” team by collecting play, staff, and gameplay cards  then foster team chemistry through effectively organizing your squad. You can also acquire Staff, Training, Morale, Fitness, and healing cards to gain tactical advantage during matches. How does this mode take advantage of XBL? Well, it lets you trade cards online.

The game also allows you to recreate and reshape moments in UEFA history through their UEFA Champions League Challenge Mode and their UEFA Champions League Tournament Mode. The Challenge mode tests players with a variety of difficult and memorable scenarios from UEFA history.

The League Tournament on the other hand allows players to customise the real world groupings of the UEFA Champions League Tournament and allows them to play through the Tournament.

Multiplayer features allow you to invite up to seven mates in what they call the “Lounge mode.“

Sigh, when Pokemon and football meet. Anyway, the game is published by EA Canada and it should ship by Spring 2007.
