    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).

    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.

    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
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Ya the days when all teams were equal

    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!!
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

    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.
