We set out to put players in the boots of a professional footballer. Tom: That’s not a conscious decision, but I’m pleased with the comparison. What deciding factors went into this decision making process?

Jesse: I AM PLAYR looks to be much more SIMS than FIFA or Pro Evo. Tom: Facebook offers a great way for people to share good content, and our hope is that I AM PLAYR raises the bar in terms of the level of quality people expect when they think about Facebook games. Are there any special licenses or permission needed to launch a game as ambitious as I AM PLAYR on Facebook? Speak just briefly about the relationship between We R Interactive and Facebook. Jesse: We all know that Facebook is a massive success and likely a perfect platform for I AM PLAYR to launch from. I should also mention that the Beta version represents about 10% of the planned features, so the game will evolve each month as we add more and more… Players need to feel like they’ve achieved something when they complete a drill, without becoming frustrated with the challenge. We’re always looking for that sweet spot in balancing difficulty.

Others, such as tweaks to ball physics or goalkeeper difficulty may go unnoticed, but will shape a better experience over time. Some, such as extending the number of drills from 30 to 45 are obvious. Looking at the training mode alone we’ve implemented many changes already. Tom: We tweak the game continually in response to additional features and user feedback. Simply stated, as a player you have little more to do in an actual match than take one to two shots on goal.

Matches are simulated by scrolling text before the player gets one or two chances to score an equalizer or a match winner when a ball is played to him. For now at least, it seems as if the brains behind I AM PLAYR have left no stone unturned.Īs far as actual game play is concerned, I AM PLAYR won’t be for the gamer who thrives in a FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer for console environment. All the decisions you’ll make in the lead up to match day will ultimately affect your performance when you take the pitch on Saturday.įor the first time in a game that I’m aware of, players get to experience exactly what it’s like to be an English footballer.

From which football boots to wear, to which training drills to spend the most time on, and even to which girls to chat up via text.

Players get the opportunity to make their very own decisions when playing I AM PLAYR. Scheduled to launch officially very soon, I AM PLAYR looks poised to grow and be enjoyed by many football fans across the globe. More SIMS than FIFA 2011 or Pro Evo, I AM PLAYR will still appeal to a wide audience largely because of it’s accessibility through the social media monster we’re all on, which of course is Facebook. While any final judgements on my end will be held until the final version of the game is completed, the beta version, without a doubt, proves there’s plenty of potential surrounding this well thought out and expertly designed game. I recently got the opportunity to spend a few days with the beta version for I AM PLAYR before it’s official release on Facebook to provide EPL Talk Pro subscribers with an early and exclusive look at the game. Take a look at the official trailer to see exactly what I AM PLAYR is all about: But beware, when brash playmaker Billy Laidlaw asks you to join him at the club after your first match, you better be ready to make a quick decision to accept his invitation or head home for some much needed recovery. Training, match day and extra-curricular activities are all interspersed with real life live footage provided by professional actors who make you feel as if you’re actually in the changing room getting the hair dryer treatment at halftime.
