The NFL season is just getting underway, so there's still time to get your team spirit going. The new NFL Matchups Live game for iOS and Android seems as good a way as any. This is a collectable card game based on real NFL teams and players. You can build the perfect team and take on all the other NFL teams in accelerated matchups.
This title contains all 32 officially licensed NFL teams, as well as over 1000 present and past players. You start with a default roster for whichever team you want to play as, but from there you are free to draft new players and manage your team as you like.
The games plays out as an accelerated simulation. You basically have a news ticker that tells you what happens on each play. For example, X passed to Y for 20 yards, or touchdown by Y. This can be a little hard to follow at first, but the field diagram at the top of the screen showing you where the ball is helps keep things straight. Each game only takes about 30 seconds to play, then you can continue crafting your team.
There are various formations you can use that will affect your team's effectiveness. Individual players can also be trained or moved around. If you want to draft new players, you have to use Mobage coins to buy the necessary card packs. You can spend real money on coins, or install partner apps to get them for free. It works out to $0.99 for a single card if you only buy enough coins for that transaction. It's much cheaper if you buy a whole pack.
NFL Matchups Live also incorporates fantasy football data to give higher performing players a stat boost. You can also boost your entire team's stats with power ups. Of course, these cost you Mobage coins too. The game is free-to-play, but you can really drop some cash on it if you're not careful.
