Gamers have an exclusive opportunity to help shape an innovative new football game, Big Match Striker, taking on the game’s unique challenge of football trivia and tactics.

 

The game, launching in August, represents an entirely new type of challenge for football fans as they use every ounce of football skill and knowledge in the role of chairman, manager, player and fan. There are 500 places up for grabs. To be amongst the first players in the world to play Big Match Striker, visit www.bigmatchonline.com to register your details and sign up for the trial.

 

The latest video trailer for the game is also released today, highlighting the tactical and strategic aspects of the game. Should I upgrade my stadium? Should I set the team up 4-4-2, 3-5-2 or 5-4-1? Is it worth buying a new player? In-game commentator Roger “The Gaffer” Gaffney, a legend in his own lunchtime, reveals all in the latest in a series of game trailers to be released.

 

Playing in competitive leagues, players must win matches by correctly answering constantly-updated questions on the English Premiership and Football League players, teams and matches, as well as covering all the significant happenings in English football over the years, World Cups past and present and historic football trivia.

 

The reward for using up-to-date knowledge to win competitive matches is in-game currency, with which players must make shrewd managerial decisions to strengthen their team and to grow and develop their club, attracting more fans in the quest for promotion to the higher leagues.
