Draft:Dream League Soccer

  • Comment: From the previous decline, you added one source which seems to be reliable and have significant coverage, which is great. Given policies like WP:N or essays like WP:THREE, it's still a long way from being notable. What else is out there? VRXCES (talk) 08:10, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Please add more references/reviews of the game/series. Also promotional in several places which needs to be toned down: "crafting its distinct path through the years", "Dream League Soccer set itself apart", "unique football gaming experience", "its distinct position in the mobile gaming market", "fostering a community that values the creative freedom it offers", "contribute to its enduring appeal".

Dream League Soccer is an association football video game, developed by First Touch Games. The game was initially released in 2011. Since the release, a new version of the game has been released yearly, similar to titles such as FIFA.[1]

Introduced in 2011, Dream League Soccer created a new football gaming experience, allowing users to craft and personalize teams, players, and even stadiums. The game chose to secure FIFPRO licences for players, leaving the official teams out. This results in the game having false names for many clubs in addition to having no official logos. In doing so, players are put in a world where they must create their own team and philosophy in order to succeed in the game.[2]

The game also features a multiplayer game mode, called Dream League Live.[1][3]

Dream League Soccer has been noted to provide freedom to the players to build their own team, which is characterized by the absence of official team licenses.[4][3]

Dream League Soccer is available on both iOS and Android platforms.[5]

Gameplay

edit

The game places the player in a world where all domestic leagues have been abolished. Teams from all around Europe are placed into an 8-division promotion-relegation league system, along with versions of domestic and international knockout competitions. Players will then need to choose their captain from a selection of top professional players and give a name to their team and their manager. This marks the start of the game.[1]

The game is played using three buttons and an analog stick on the screen. The three buttons are "A", for shooting and heading the ball, "B", for passing, and "C" for crossing and chipping the ball. The analog stick is used for movement of the players. The game also has four skill moves, performed by swiping on the right side of the screen. Double tapping the screen performs a special shot. Close control while dribbling can be activated by holding the screen while in possession, whereas doing the same while dispossessed causes another defender to come and help mark a player.[1]

Users are given starter players with low overalls at the start of the game. The in-game currency called coins can be earned by playing matches and completing objectives. These coins can be used on the market to buy new players and increase the rating of their team. "Gems" can also be earned through completing objectives, finishing higher in the global multiplayer leaderboard, and by in-game purchases. By spending coins to upgrade their stadium and facilities, players can progress and get promoted to the next division.[1][3]
