While hardcore fans love to watch their favorite athletes fight side by side for the world cup, they seemingly crave for the ability to control the decisions and movements of athletes through simulation. Traditional video games not only present the exhilarating opportunity to stimulate one’s vision on the field of play, but it often allows users to play the role of a general manager.

We are experiencing a paradigm shift happening in the world of sports simulation games through the use of blockchain technology. And play-to-earn games (GameFi) are stepping up to shape new generations of traditional sports games. Thus, we are thrilled to introduce the featured Sports GameFi Projects for this week that are listed in Lootex Marketplace:

MetaSoccer

MetaSoccer is an entire soccer universe developed using blockchain technology. This is the starting point of a new model in the sports gaming ecosystem, It is decentralized with various ways to participate. This universe is a combination of 3 multibillion dollar markets with global impact: video games, soccer and sports betting, all merged by blockchain and NFT technologies.

Youth Scouts are a fundamental pillar of the game; the introduction of new players to the MetaSoccer universe depends on them (known as Scouting), as a general rule, no player will be incorporated into the game without having been previously discovered by a scout.

Players are another cornerstone of the game, as they will be one of the keys to determining the success of your club. Some players with a more versatile profile will be able to perform well in several positions. If the player is used in a position that does not fit his role, his score will decrease.

The game will provide 2D (and 3D in the future) real-time simulations of matches. Aiming to stream top divisional matches on streaming platforms like Twitch. In addition to match simulations, alternative gameplays can be added where the user would take control of the game and players (EA Sports FIFA type). This type of gameplay would not necessarily be developed by the MetaSoccer team, but can be planned together with partnering up with different gaming studios to make use of their Metaverse.

ZED RUN is a digital horse racing game where users can own, breed and race digital racehorses with other players from around the world, 24/7. Using emerging technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrency, the game enables its users to experience the same benefits of owning a thoroughbred racehorse in real life.

They have built a strong community amassing 40,000+ people from all over the world, driving a creative and collaborative culture. Community participants are finding joy in the digital racehorse ownership and the discovery of friendly competition across futuristic racetracks. Subsequently, Breeding is a game element and is pivotal within the game’s ecosystem. Similar to the factual concept, players can breed two race horses together and produce a new offspring.

The game was built to be accessible not only by the early adopters but also by new stable owners. However, there are differences between owning a Genesis and a non-Genesis racehorse. Genesis racehorses will not be subject to Breeding Decay, it will always remain as a foundation to the ZED RUN ecosystem. Additional rewards and incentives may be introduced for holders of Genesis racehorses in the future.

Within the game, players are able to breed, rent, sell, and of course race their Pega to earn VIS tokens. This system has proven to be a sound long-term economic approach when building an NFT/Blockchain based game as it enables teams to build large guilds, scholarship programs, and even provides solo players the opportunity to earn in game tokens through daily racing.
