If you have ever been to a sports game of any kind, you know the whole audience is full of people who know better than the professional coach. Now American Football fans can prove this, with the National Football League and the National Football League Players Association teaming up with Ubisoft to release NFL Primetime Fantasy.
As you might get from the use of sport and fantasy, this is a fantasy football-type affair. Quite interestingly though, there is a very big emphasis on the live aspect of sports here. During regular and post-season games you can take actions with your team to maximise your fantasy score.
Is your starting QB having an off night, but the one on your bench is shaping up to have the game of their life? Swap them out during the match and watch that point total tick up. There will also be a suite of stat modifiers that you can activate on your players to propel yourself to the top of the leaderboard.
Unfortunately, you can't just stack your team with the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Justin Jefferson right off the bat, you need to collect cards instead. These can then be levelled up by playing, increasing their bonuses and giving you an unbeatable dream team.
Throughout the season you can take part in regular events. You can register lineups for multiple games, or simply follow your favourite team, but then you'd be losing some fantasy points, and that’s all that matters! By climbing the leaderboard you will gain rewards to upgrade your team. The higher you get, the greater the rewards.
You can pre-register for NFL Primetime Fantasy now for Android and iOS ahead of its November launch. Doing so will also give you a chance to join the beta, and will also net you the early access bundle. This contains a Classic+ card pack with a guaranteed Dynasty Premium Card and 100 Adrenaline to activate modifiers.
