Finally, the successor to Sensible Soccer!

Tue Aug 15, 2017 9:38 am

One of the finest and fun games of all time, and produced by the creator of Sensible Soccer, this looks very promising, and with 1000 teams, so Walsall FC are sure to be there. They have Scunthorpe so ....

When FIFA and Pro Evo seem to be getting more complicated and corporate with each edition, this game is pure fun. Hopefully it has all of the in-depth custom options of the originals - so team names, players and kits can be changed and all sorts of league and cup combos can be created.

I Recall playing as Walsall Town Swifts, with the 1988 'Poland' kit, Gilbert Alsop as top scorer, in three tiers of round robin before the final 8, home and away, losing 5-0 to Juventus in the final.



Can't wait for this! :D

Andy Watson was always prolific for me on Sensible Soccer. Probably dates it.

Was that the score from a cross game? I was addicted! I remember once enough Walsall fans were playing it to get us into the PL.

I even got some Vietnamese guys in the local internet café to boost our scores. I don't think they really knew what was going on, but they were rather good at finding the goals.

Yep. "Play for your club". We won the league once and got into Europe a couple of times.
