Depois que derem uma polida a gente volta a comprar, por que agora ta ruim de doer, bugado, dificil de entender, tem umas mecanica que mesmo sendo retro se não puxar dos jogos modernos ninguem vai animar de jogar, o fato de voce ficar correndo feito uma barata tonta e não conseguir enconstar na bola ja deixa uma popozinho. recomendo ? sim, mas nesse momento? não. meu veredito e esse, agora deixa eu ir ali secar a Argentina pra perderem essa Copa.
This game is really quite promising. Starting in the 5th tier trying to take my beloved Oldham through the leagues! The set piece camera is great, reminds me of ps1 fifa games. So satisfying to curl in a perfect corner (And so frustrating when you overhit it and curl it right into the stands!) Dev is still working on the game and I'm looking forward to the 1.0 release. Worth a tenner for sure. I'm having a good time
undisclosed generative ai. sneaky sneaky but you overlooked something ;) edit: in response to the dev, heres a screenshot. uploaded as artwork because for whatever reason i cant upload a screenshot for this game. tested it with others and it worked idk. i dont think im wrong. are you sure about that? ive never seen a keyboard numpad that looks like this. i dont think there are even enough keys for the numbers? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3765720347
No hydration breaks = win But serious, in a short amount of time it is clear this game got very good vibes from the first PES´s. Beats fifa and alikes any time of the day because it does not even require online services bs.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this game, and it causes more frustration and anger than happiness and satisfaction.
Edit: You know what, I'm changing my review to positive. The dev fixed some things and I realize now this game is only balanced around the best teams. Just play England vs France rather than Um Die Ecke vs Kummerspeck and you can actually score without setting up an elaborate one-timer. Dev is working on it and this game is more promising than FIFA, let the dev cook. I want to like this game, but I just can't. Shooting without setting up a one-timer is basically pointless. I had 18 shots on net one game and 0 goals. Player selection is atrocious and most goals against you will be because you're trying to switch to the proper defender and the AI dribbles directly through your other defender that you're scrambling to select. When the AI shoots the ball will bounce off your goalie to a spot they can rebound it about half the time. I have played 2 hours now and have only seen a reboundable ball after my shot a single time. Every other ball goes off the keeper and immediately out of bounds. Oh, and this game gives priority to whoever does an action when there's an air ball. If you want to just receive an air pass don't bother, pass or shoot it midair or the AI will instantly take the ball from you. Air passes are essentially worthless unless you're doing a one-timer.
Really good old skool football game: * More depth to the gameplay than first appears (variety of ways to play and score, CPU teams also play different styles and [b] not scripted [/b] like other games, you are definitely controlling the players) * Career mode fantastic (think SWOS for those old enough) * Haven't noticed any bugs in 121 hours gameplay (can remember maybe 2-3 crashes & only on the menu screen and it always autosaved progress so no frustrating lost career gameplay) * Minor criticism is can be quite easy once you get into your flow, even on hard skill (although this does to some extent reflect "form" in real life- if you switch off (or enter bad form), CPU teams can punish you (especially defending corners, like 25/26 Premier League lol) Looking forward to the upcoming final update
Zweifellos ein gutes Arcade-Spiel, das wirklich Laune macht. Die Steuerung ist intuitiv und relativ schnell erlernt. Macht gewissermassen süchtig, immer wieder nimmt man das Gamepad hervor und möchte ein, zwei Partien spielen. Weniger gut: Viele Fouls gegen das eigene Team, die nicht nachvollziehbar sind. Gegner teilweise eigenartig unausgeglichen; in Verteidigung und Mittelfeld eher schwach, im Sturm aber virtuos, so dass kaum mehr eine Möglichkeit besteht, das Gegentor zu verhindern. Dies sind aber vernachlässigbare Schwächen. Schwerer wiegt da der "Fatal error" nach Beendigung der zweiten Saison (Englische Liga, von 5 in 4 aufgestiegen, dann vor dem Aufstiegsspiel (Spielausgang egal) "Fatal error". Tausend mal neu geladen, Simulation, Trainer Modus, alles versucht. Es hilft nichts. Das ist schon sehr frustrierend.
Active Soccer 3 is an incredibly good game. It's pure football without scripts and rails. You have complete freedom in how you want to play the game. Shots, passes etc. have to be controlled manually. The gameplay is fluid and everything is very responsive. The sheer amount of players, teams and tournaments is staggering. There is no other football game on the market with these features. Don't forget to use community data files. Do yourself a favor and buy this game. It won't disappoint you.
Back of the net - this is brilliant and is what I've wanted for years. Running great on the steam deck and the easy to learn hard to master thing isn't just a box blurb, you can feel the depth even after a short while playing. The AI and goalies put other more sociable games to shame, as does pretty much all other aspects of the game, it's just a blast to play and is FUN. you can feel the effort put into creating to it. It helps the strikers all have a foot like a traction engine.
