"its a fight for aerial domination." and the difference in tones for each country

Pro Evo on the wii. Just played it for a couple of hours.

Beats every other football game by a million miles. Won't be playing the "conventional" games again

:D:cool:

"It's a biiiiiiig kick!"

Sensible Soccer on the amiga was a top game in its day - it had everything; great gameplay and a management mode for countless leagues. I have it now on the xbox360 but unfortunately something's missing, it doesn't feel like the game I remember.

Pro Evolution is the best football game these days although the latest game is no good (xbox360 version).

emlyn hughes International Soccer on the C64 is the most playable/easy footie game IMO plus I love the way you can change the players names and skill level

I'm not buying this yet as I'm afraid it'll mean bye bye to my course. It looks unbelievable, good to see that someone can confirm the control scheme isn't madness.

The best ever football game that I've played? I love pro evolution and the conventional championship/football manager (by SI/Sega, not the sh!te churned out by Eidos with the same name) but i've been playing Football Manager Live lately and honestly its going to ruin me. Its immersive, detailed if you want it to be, action packed, its multiplayer so you don't get bored of fooling the computer, and the entire FM database of players is available.

1. Pro Evo
2. Sensible Soccer
3. Super Soccer

Football manager/Championship Manager should be 1st if were counting managment sims

From my limited experience, I'd rate the best pre-PC as being Microprose Soccer on the Commodore 64 (Thumb numbingly playable, even if you could beat Scotland 9 or 10 nil with Oman in a minute a half game). Of the ones I've played since the advent of the PC, I'd rate the FIFA World Cup 98 (though it sounds like I may be talking about Road to World Cup?) really highly.

Management sim wise, the pre-PC giant in my book was Tracksuit Manager, despite some really weird tactics being remarkably successful (2-2-6 won my sister the world cup for Ireland?!?). PC wise, it is probably Championship Manager 01/02, I think. Damned Vista won't let me play it though:mad:

Anyone remember Italia90 on the snes/sega megadrive..cant really remember...

All u could see were heads of hair and the odd leg when you kicked the ball...

The sounds of a tackle where priceless...

And the goal celebration....a still shot of the Same guy...different jersey!

:D

Ya the days when all teams were equal :D

Goalie was like having a new born baby in the goal, you just make him come to one side and aim the other!. I had that on the 3 game cartridge with either a motorbike game/Monaco GP and i think the other was a tetris style game!!:D

That's it there, the smiley was kinda stuck onto the end of it so wouldn't work.

Woo Hoo!

A few quirky things in the fifa games used always annoy me and they never seemed to debug them ...goalies having number 2 shirts? ...only being able to display 10 out of 11 players on the teamsheet and having to scroll down to see the last one.

Sensible Soccer gets my vote for best btw.

takes a lot to annoy lionel doesnt it, your very laid back!!!
