Footballidentity Looking for new users!

[Acornvilla]

Right its pre season now in FID so were looking to do a new recruitment drive below I've tried to explain what Footballidentity is and given you some useful links.


I've been playing this game for over a year and a half now and I really can't recommend it enough, It's an open beta with a very large Irish community and were all looking to try and get some fresh blood in time for the new season which starts shortly, Its a bit difficult to pin what the game is like in words but sure i'll give it a bash.

Footballidentity (www.footballidentity.com)is a football world where all characters are controlled by real users. Managers, Players and even Journalists have a user behind them and together they form teams and play matches together in the world's first turn-based strategy game based upon football. Players play matches, train and develop their skills. Managers handle transfers/contracts, match tactics and manage their team members.

It's kind of like a 2D version of Fifa Be a Pro mode. But obviously all the other players on your team and the opposition's team are human controlled too

1) You have complete control of your player on the pitch. You tell him where to move, who to pass to, whether to shoot or try and take on your man etc.

2) The other players on your team are human controlled as well, so you don't have to worry about a robot player messing up a move. And when a human player DOES mess up a move, at least you can give him an earful

3) You can only train once a day, so you have to pick and choose which stats you want to train. Do you want to be a lightning fast Ronaldo type or an almost superhuman Essien type?

4) You don't have to be a player, if you've ever fancied yourdelf as a manager, give it a go here. It's slightly tougher than Football Manager 2010 as you're dealing with real people If you fancy yourself a writer, you could become a journalist instead, and write about the league, interview players, write reports on matches, whatever you want.

If your still a little confused as to what i'm saying watch the tutorial video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEj0mQV2e-M&feature=related) or better yet play some test matches and see what you think by checking out this (http://testcenter.footballidentity.com/BasicWebsite/SWF/TestGame/TestGamePage.aspx?lang=en-GB) link.


Give it a go and if you have any questions ask away ; )


(On an aside for the mods I am aware there has been previous topics about this game but i thought it best to let them die away and have a new one with some info at the start if thats ok)

[mr. man]

This game is class and you will be hooked if you join . As the lad above me said , Give it a go !!!

[christo]

Yep the game is good craic alright, I just won the Champions League with my team there a few minutes ago.

Its well worth a bash anyway

[El-Pietro]

its good fun if you play on a team with active players.

Acornvilla there is the manager of my team and we just won the Irish Premier Division a couple of weeks ago o r is it Ireland 1A or something?

basically its like subuteo but with 22 people controlling the 22 little men. or in this case dots.

its free to play, unless you want more than one character and it is definitely worth a try. I'd say try the test games to see if its for you.


The only downside to it, is because you have to physically control your player, you have to commit to being online at certain times. The Irish top division plays on Sundays and Wednesdays at 8.45 and the second division plays on Mondays and Thursdays at the same times. Games last just over an hour I think though I'm open to correction.

Obvioulsy if you play with a bigger squad you can rotate and take games off etc ,If those times don't suit you then you have the choice to play anywhere in the world, all with their own game times.

[Acornvilla]

And a lot of help you were Chris missing sitters from 6 yards out, fecking Irish choke under pressure as usual luckily you had some swedes to save your ass :D

El Pietro and Mr Man are the greatest players in the entirety of their own imaginations, but won me a league so i'm not complaining, Just won world keeper of the year so I did, dot stopper extraordinar I am. If they game was crap i'd have given it up a long time ago, certainly is worth a try. Its taken huge strides from what it was over a year ago when Chris was advertising it at first

[christo]

Here it was my awesome pass to the swede, and I saved us a number of times in the lead up to the final too so blah

Can't recommend this game highly enough. I joined in May of last year and have not regretted it. I was signed up for Wasters along with a load of new users. After a few seasons of learning the trade in one of the toughest leagues, we came third in Season 7 and qualified for Europe. Ireland 2A is growing and the season starts in 2 weeks, perfect time to join.

This game is perfect for having fun/craic with other Irish users. All the users talk on IRC and on TeamSpeak too!

Can't harm to give this topic a bump, the UI and gameplay has been updated somewhat its quite a bit more user friendly than the old days. I'm still plugging away playing and enjoying it as much as I did 2 years ago so its not all bad :) The game is still beta but its getting there, if anyone new would like to give it a lash, or even someone who played it when the game was a baby wants to give it another go heres my character link (http://footballidentity.com/User/UserGeneral/U53.aspx?id=2292). I can help you out with anything if you drop me a mail in game or here.

Theres less pressure to make every game these days too thanks to some advancements managers can play for guys who can't make games, so its a little less hardcore than it once was if your more of a casual gamer! All the other info you need is in my signature.
