Apple has announced a new sports game called Ultimate Rivals: The Rink for its Apple Arcade gaming subscription service. The game is a fantasy take on hockey and contains popular athletes from the NHL, NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, and US Women’s National Soccer Team. Similar to NBA Jam, the game includes over-the-top arcade action, fast-paced gameplay, topped with cool special moves and beautiful graphics.
Ultimate Rivals is far from a sports simulation. It has cartoonish avatars of popular athletes and consists of just 3 players per team, unlike actual ice hockey rules. The game offers 60fps smooth gameplay and beautiful neon styled graphics. The controls are really simple: just pass, sprint and shoot to score. Games are usually short and last for 6 minutes. Each athlete has an ultimate move which is based on their actual sports background. Using the ultimate move at the right time can change the outcome of a game.
