Ballsy! World Cup 2020

Many arcade games use the phrase "easy to peak, hard to master" but this one do exactly this. AI is great and very challenging. Great passing game, great inertia on players. Baz you did it again! Thank you for this great game which based mainly on something that really matters. Gameplay. I wish you made an update in the future with clubs and Career mode. When you watch videos on YouTube you can't see what this game is able to offer. Definitely I recommend it!

This is a small, polished football game that has a clear focus on fun, and succeeds right out of the gate. While most modern football games strive for more and more realism, Ballsy! goes the complete opposite way and throws out anything that would detract from the fun for realism's sake - and I'm very thankful for that. This commitment is visible throughout the whole gameplay design: Matches are played by teams of 7 players on a field with no side-lines (similar to indoor soccer), no offside rule and no referee - resulting in an uninterrupted gameplay flow until a goal is scored. Menus are responsive and fast, there's no loading screens and no unskippable intros, so getting into a game is a matter of seconds. The content is similarly lean, with 30+ national teams of varying football skill, but no player names (I'm not even sure if there's skill differences between the players). The two game modes are either a friendly, or the World Cup where a team progresses in knock-out phases towards the final. The simplicity is also reflected in the graphics, which is a throwback to older, arcade games (but runs so much smoother). The big plus of the game is, of course, its gameplay. Controls are tight and fast to pick-up, yet take some time to master - but thankfully not because of their complexity (they have been trimmed down to only the core actions). There's not too many parameters like in modern football sims, but anything that's there is configurable. The AI is surprisingly well-made, both the opponent's and the one controlling the other members of the team that are off-ball. The opponent AI especially offers a decent challenge, with five different difficulty levels. All these aspects make for a very fun, fast-paced arcadey game, with virtually no down-time. In more "realistic" football games I am met with constant small segments of downtime - intro, game loading, foul, players reacting, replay, substitution, and that's without all the gameplay-related downtime where possession of the ball changes much more slowly. Ballsy has none of that. And while commitment to realism and technical progress is admirable, I'm very happy that there's also games like this one that do away with all the cruft and focus on being a fun game without trying to also be a good simulation. Technically, the game runs very smooth. I didn't notice any bugs, glitches or framerate slowdown whatsoever on Linux, even on a weaker machine. It gives a concentrated and polished impression - it knows what it wants to do, focuses on it and does it well. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, fun football game and doesn't mind the lack of realism.

Harika bir oyun. Gerçekten çok underrated oyun. Pasa ve oyun görüşünüze dayalı bir oyun. Oyunda bir sürü farklı ülke var ve bu ülkelerden istediğimizi seçerek dünya kupası ya da dostluk maçı yapabiliyoruz. Her ülkenin özellikleri farklı oluyor. Örneğin Nijeryayı seçerseniz oyuncuların teknik özellikleri zayıf ama atletik olarak güçlü oluyorlar. Kazandığımız her maçtan sonra takımımızın özelliklerini yükseltebiliyoruz. Dünya kupası modunda grup aşaması olsaydı iyi olurdu. Bir de Türkiyeyi ekleseler süper olur (Please Add Turkey :D). Oyunu 2 Lirayken aldım. Şuanda 3 dolar. Bence kesinlikle oyunu almalısınız. Alışması zor oluyor ama alıştıktan sonra bırakamıyorsunuz. 10 üzerinden 10 veriyorum bu oyuna. Hayatımda oynadığım en iyi futbol oyunlarından biri.

Juego de futbol arcade muy divertido. Mas centrado en las partes tecnicas del juego que en los aspectos espectaculares del mismo, enfocandose mas en los pases, el control y los cambios de ritmo que en gambetas exajeradas o goles de chilena. Cuenta con varios equipos, con algunas diferencias entre si (España tiene mejor control corto de pelota que Alemania, pero menos estabilidad y velocidad fisica) pero todos mas o menos se pueden jugar del mismo modo. Tiene pocos modos, partido amistoso y una copa del mundo que se termina en 20 minutos. Si le queres exprimir el jugo al juego va a tener que ser por tu propia cuenta, ya que no hay muchas alternativas de como jugarlo. El multijugador es local, no cuenta con opcion de jugarlo en linea. Juego cortito y divertido. Me gustaria ver mas juegos de esta clase, quiza una edicion nueva que agregue mas modos y un modo multijugador. Ademas esta regalado.

its fun :)

Eğlenceli arcade tarzında bir futbol oyunu, oyuna alışmak kolay.

Game's fine but Argentine players aren't... uhhh... ethnically accurate. 7/10
