Phase 3 Beta Kickoff
Phase 3 of the beta kicked off on Thursday alongside some brilliant matchups including Shaun Wright-Phillips vs Nigel De Jong. You can go to our Twitter page to see the League tables and choose a team to support! We are really excited to be adding more managers to the beta and look forward to continually add more before our official launch. Alongside implementing little bug fixes from the beta, the development team's main focus continues to be implementing the new game UI and working on the enhanced match engine.
You can tune in to all of the beta matches at 6pm UK time every day here!
Tactic Page Rework
We have revealed another page of the new Footium UI and would love to hear any feedback you have on it. We took a lot of feedback we recieved in Phase 1 for how picking your lineup could be a much smoother process!
We are sponsoring a club in the English Football League!
We can’t reveal what club it is yet, but it will be a back of shorts sponsor so will be viewable in FIFA! Alongside many other benefits such as match tickets, player access, advertising boards, social media posts and more! We would love to source some ideas around activation and getting both our community and the club's community involved.
Next Week
Community Spotlight
With Phase 3 of the beta kicking off there has been an influx of content for social media clubs and we plan to do a community spotlight next week to showcase it all!
Town Hall
Due to the success of our AMA in recent weeks, we are dicussing the possability of having a Town Hall in the discord every couple of weeks with some the team. We would talk about Footium, answer any questions and get some special guests on!
