Powered by Jacquard Tag’s advanced machine learning algorithms, the adidas GMR recognizes soccer players’ physical movements on the pitch by measuring kicks, shot power, distance and speed. By completing various challenges and achieving long-term milestones, players will earn rewards and improve their Ultimate Team by improving their in-game players through real-world achievements.
One of the first challenges is Master Finisher, where players must hit 40 hard shots in the penalty area within a week to earn coins and skill boosts in their FIFA Mobile game. The player’s hardest shot will be included in various leaderboards, giving them the opportunity to show off in front of their friends.
Following the inclusion of Ninja as part of the Time In campaign, the launch of adidas GMR is a step towards ‘figital’ gaming – the final step towards becoming the number one sports brand and impacting gaming culture.
