No, not that kind of football. Saber Interactive’s latest release – Wild Card Football – focuses on the American interpretation of the term. You know, with all the tackles, strategic calls, and very blatant handball! This is a crazy, arcade take on the semi-serious sport, and is now available for all to enjoy.
Colour and Chaos
If you yearn for the old-school, PS2 sports arcade titles that preferred silliness over realism, then boot away your copy of Madden NFL 24, for Wild Card Football is here.
Available now on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC platforms, Wild Card Football provides a madcap, frenzied experience that is as cartoony as it is crazy. Inspired by the success of the NBA Playgrounds franchise, also from Saber, Wild Card Football tasks you with creating your dream line-up of seven players, and taking them to the field.
The Wild Cards are really the showstoppers, however, regardless of how good your team appears to be. With over 150 cards to use, each offering up a unique power-up, changing your team’s stats, or completely flipping the rules, these can be the difference between winning and losing.
Take your team of licensed players to either the solo or multiplayer scene. Wild Card Football boasts a fully-fledged Season mode for the former, and both local and online crossplay multiplayer for the latter.
Key Features
- Create Your Dream Team: Choose from hundreds of genuine pro players, reimagined Playgrounds-style, and assemble the ultimate 7-on-7 gridiron squad. Advance through different challenges and events to unlock new players and other exciting rewards.
- Play Your Wild Cards: Unleash over 150 Wild Cards to turn the tide of the game in your favour in an instant. Bust out special moves like summoning walls or invisibility, boost your team’s stats at a crucial moment, or play a Rule-Breaker and flip the rules of the game completely.
- Become a Champion: Prove your skills in single-player Season mode, climb to the top of the leaderboards in competitive online multiplayer with full crossplay, or challenge your friends at home for bragging rights in local multiplayer.
- Customise Your Squad: Personalise your team’s logo, uniforms and colours, choose your home stadium, then build unique playbooks and Wild Card decks to perfect your strategies on the field.
