Wild Card Football is set to feature real NFL players, with the trailer teasing the inclusion of players like Jalen Ramsey of the Miami Dolphins. By incorporating NFL players, the game aims to provide a sense of realism with its arcade-style gameplay experience. This unique approach aims to give gamers a fresh football experience that is different from traditional games in the genre.
