The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), SuperTeam Games and OneTeam Partners are set to launch STG Football, a new blockchain-powered video game.
The game comprises of a seven-on-seven format, with four players per team controlled by users and the remaining three controlled by artificial intelligence (AI).
STG Football will contain strategic and on-field elements to assimilate on-field football, while a modified rule set will enable faster turnaround and game pace.
