Imagine sitting on the couch watching the latest NFL match while reading up on player trivia and at the same time managing your own legendary team.
It’s hard to draw a line defining what this app is actually about. Categorized under the sports section, one wouldn’t exactly categorize this as a game but that seems to serve as the basis of the app itself. Seemingly an amalgam of football must-haves, Huddle Football is what every sports fan would have dreamed of. A fantasy team management game, social networking, as well as up to date updates of real-world NFL news all rolled into one nifty little package.
Starting off with the game, Huddle Football is pretty much the typical fantasy team management genre. Users collect players and put together their own team. These players are available through packs earned in-game, whereby additional packs can also be bought via in-app purchases. Players then fix up a playing roster, play some matches to accumulate points and work their way up the game hierarchy. Player statistics are also made available with information presented very clearly to help in whatever users may need the information for.
This is where the social networking function of Huddle Football comes in. With integration to networks like Facebook, Huddle Football allows users to compare statistics and even trade players. This adds some element of mutiplayerism into an otherwise perceived to be solo genre.
On the other side of the app lies the news section. Huddle Football successfully merges fantasy with reality when it integrates news from the real-world league into a seamless feed providing users with constant updates on the go. Users are free to view consistently and constantly updated articles regarding the sport in real life.
A free app, this game definitely gets both my thumbs up.
