Welcome to Episode 26 of Lower League Degens! 🎙️⚽The Meta Football League just introduced the brand-new Arena Mode, and it represents one of the biggest feature shifts we've seen on the platform.In…
But yeah, so first off, I think when it comes to ML- uh, MFL, the one thing we probably should talk about is Arena.
Have you guys been having fun with Arena? Have you guys been playing? I know Shane has spent a, a bit of his MFL on Arena already.
So, uh, how you guys finding it?
I like it, mate.
I just think...
I th- I think it'd be well thought out, so it won't be how I think it could be.
As in like, someone just comes in and just goes, "Right, I'm gonna buy a pack, buy a pack, buy a pack, buy a pack, buy a pack," and I'm gonna get really high up like I have.
I've just gone out and spammed limited packs and got as far as I can get.
But I do like it overall, and what I like the most is probably what Lucas got the shout-out for today of the 2.5D, what they're calling it, like the overview of the stadium and stuff.
If that comes into like the pro mode, and like depending on where you are in the, the obviously pyramid, you get a stadium.
Like I, I think that'd be amazing.
Yeah.
You need, you...
It needs to come in.
You can't, you can't use Arena as an onboarding tool and then you come in and you look at this.
It, it would be like onboarding people to FM 26 and when you, when you're onboarded and buy your first club, you're back to Championship Manager '98.
Do not disrespect Championship Manager.
I was gonna say some people might take Championship [laughs] over FM 26.
Take that heritage-
Out of, out of us-
... out of your mouth
... out of, out of us three, I think I'm the only one old enough to have played it.
I play it on an emulator.
Yeah, but people would still take it.
