Quoteon the PC SWOS was the most enjoyable for me, anyone remember 'Kick n Run' in the arcades? remember playing it around the late 80's early 90's, finally beat the game with a MAME emulator
I think they're reasonable complaints that it shouldn't have taken a genius to fix yet they were there for years.Originally Posted by inexile
I picked up FIFA 2007 recently and they've fixed some of the things but I still find the gameplay clanky.
Just trying to get a player to turn around is like trying to turn a car ferry. Some of the options for tackling either simply don't work or are completely one dimensional.
The "sprint" (R1) button is an ornament when you're off the ball and takes three or four seconds to kick in when you're on it.
You have to be close enough to a player to be frankly riding him for any tackle that isn't going to result in a foul to actually work and meanwhile the computer can execute effective legal tackles all the time -particularily if you go near the "shoot" button -and can do so with it's player in a different time zone to yours.
I don't think I'm looking for the game to be easy -just consistent.

Does anyone remember striker on the s'nes. It was class the indoor games were the best from the keeper to the midfielder and the back of the net pure gold. You could score from the same position every time.
Now-a-days the best game around has to be Pes the game play is un-natural. So realistic. Does anyone play it on xbox live????

int'l superstar soccer pro '98 for me. incredible balance of depth and action. it's a konami game but i think was built by a different group than the pro evo fellas. it came out on the playstation and your players' morale was indicated by a little bouncing emoticon in the line-ups. ash-grey for basically injured and unuseable all the way to seething red for sh1t-hot. great, great game. for all their technical approximations of the real thing, i think the fifa and pro evo games simply aren't much fun. when playing them i always feel like a puppeteer getting all his wires and strings crossed.
pro evo = Subbuteo
iss pro '98 = Striker (the one where you pushed the player's head down to kick)
zombie/thread killer..
wow didn't realize there'd be ISS fans still kicking around, hope you're enjoying it superfrank. cue up some 'super stupid' for background music!

I think I had that game myself. The game-play was from a birds eye viewing perspective - if that makes sense.
You could also put a vicious curl on the ball as well. Usually with great success against the hapless Oman. Which was nice.
Quoting years at random since 1975
That's the one alright - you could score a goal from the corner flag if you put enough curl on it.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
My cousin & I used to have epic games of Striker on the SNES - 45 minutes a half indoors with throws or corners it has so quick and intense he had an asthma attack when we were playing it once (he blames dust mites - but I think it had more to do with my frantic harried style of play) it was by far the best football game I have ever played, truen enough the graphics now seem manky but for pure gameplay it was awesome

Used to do that time after time after time after time and it never got boring
beating oman 35-0 with 35 identical goals. ....great craic
Is this the game that had music playing over it, used to go something like, dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih dududududu dumdadadum, dih-dih-dih and so on, the dududududumdadadum part being the lull between scoring a goal and the kick off (yes it would literally take you all of a dih-dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih to run the length of the pitch and score).Used to do that time after time after time after time and it never got boring

Well that was one of the more incoherant posts of my foot life, I feel a bit like Baileban used to feel on a daily basis around here I'd imagine
nah think the music was more like dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih dudud dududu dumdadadumdidiIs this the game that had music playing over it, used to go something like, dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih dududududu dumdadadum, dih-dih-dih and so on, the dududududumdadadum part being the lull between scoring a goal and the kick off (yes it would literally take you all of a dih-dih-dih-dih dih-dih-dih-dih to run the length of the pitch and score).

Ahem.
Yes, that would be the one, and, allowing for accent variation, Block G can also be considered correct.
Here is a link from some sh!tehawk who could only beat Australia 5 or 6 nil. The middle game, from about 3:30 has all the classy Microprose Soccer goals you could hope for. And the slightly Vangelis inspired tune!

Gotta be either FIFA 98 RTWC on the N64 - never knew it was so popular! - or Olympic Soccer on the PS1. In fact I think it is Olympic soccer. Was unbelievably good. Released for the Oylmpics that Nigeria won. But Nigeria weren't in the game. Fantastic. Argentina were unbeatable.
Check out that intro! The memories come flooding back!
