What's the greatest football computer game of all time?

I'd go for Emlyn Hughes International Soccer on the Spectrum. You could even change the player names to put yourself in all three striking positions, centre midfield and it goal.

 

Tash Manager, of course! nt

 

no competition

As to be champman up until the bust up then its modern day equivalent,football manager.

 

football manager on the BBC model B nt

 

Sensible Soccer

Sega Megadrive D

 

Player Manager on Amiga, it was Kick Off with a manager part to it as well, you could opt to play in position.

Not Player Manager 2 though - that was *****!

 

Good call

I like this approach of bolting on a management aspect to an "arcade" style game because you can see what is happening in front of your eyes. With management games you are pitting your wits not against football but against the developer's idea of what football is. This is the achilles heal. But with Kick Off (and Sensible World of Soccer) you knew what you were working with. Okay, it might not have been an entirely accurate simulation of football but you could adopt your tactics to suit. If you see what I mean.

 

while were on the Subject of manager games Prem Manager for PS1 was class u cud do 10 seasson in an hour hahaha

 

FM08 and PES2008 will do em all over when they're out this year. nt

 

Ultimate Soccer Manager 2

Could win every trophy in about 30 mins
Make a 2,000 ground into a 100,000 seater super stadium
Place bets on matches
Rig Games
Slag the papers off.

Anyone else played it, shame it wont work on my PC now. :'(

 

The Double on the Speccy...

I would still play that now if I had a Speccy to play it on.

 

soccer boss on spectrum- you always lost 3-1 to plymouth in first game after scoring first

RE: football manager on the BBC model B nt

I was referring to arcade games to be honest, but a great choice all the same. I remember once making Bristol City I think (there was no Barnsley as I remember so I needed the closest in name and colour, plus David Moyes played for them) league champions and winning the FA Cup in the same season, where we beat Luton 7-0 in the final.

 

SWOS..

never beaten IMHO, followed by CM/FM

 

You might be able to play it online

It doesn't work for me though. http://www.ciunga.it/jxspeccy/arc/3.html?g=DOUBLE</p>

Other games here: http://www.ciunga.it/jxspeccy/arc.html </p><a href="http://www.ciunga.it/jxspeccy/arc/3.html?g=DOUBLE" />

 

You had me going then!

The game was 'The Double'.</p>

A cracking footy game it was too.</p>

 

RE: You had me going then!

I did get the right game didn't I?</p>

If you click on the second link I put up, then on D at the top, then scroll down, its listed as &quot;Double, The&quot;</p>

Still doesnt work though.

champ man 2 - unquestionably

97/98 season - could buy random africans with stupid names for 2k and after 10 games they would be worth millions

 

Football Manager and Pro Evolution Soccer, hands down. nt

 

Check out this site , it has Football Director.

Quality!
