Sociable soccer 20199/12/2023 There's still a few bugs to iron out too, and animations to add in. The goalkeeper in particular is very weak, and lets in plenty of shots that he really should be saving.still, I imagine that this will all be fixed in time. I've played quite a few matches against the A.I by this stage, and they've just about all ended with me scoring a ton and the computer scoring nothing. Of course, that's just one side of it - there's the CPU action to boot.and being so early on, there's still a fair bit of work needed here - at present the A.I doesn't put up much of a fight. Playing this game with another person absolutely made me a believer. With two humans playing each other, this game feels so close to the original - the slide tackling, spectacular goals and end-to-end action feels just right. This is great design, especially for multiplayer games - which is naturally where the game shines the best. The matches are currently set to 3 minutes per half, a lot tends to happen in those 6 minutes, and with the press of one button you can go straight into another game against two random but roughly comparable teams from a different league. The action is certainly fast - you can load this up and be locked into a game almost instantly. The big aim here was always to recreate the fast-paced arcade feel of the original that made it so good - calling back to the inspiration that Jon Hare got from games such as Subbuteo, or foosball. In many ways, however, it is off to a decent start. This game has not been in early access for long, of course - it's still very early days, and this should not be taken in any way as a definitive review of the game, more what you can currently expect and a look at what's potentially to come. So.does it? Not yet - but it most certainly could. It's a game that's close to my heart, and before playing the game for the first time I didn't know what to expect exactly.in all honesty, I didn't think it could match up to the legend. ![]() ![]() It's the new game by Jon Hare, the one that's touted as being the true follow-up to the legendary Sensible Soccer - the greatest football game of the 16-bit era, and lord of all it surveyed on the Amiga. Ok, so I've had a good few days to get the measure of Sociable Soccer, which has been out on Steam Early Access for the past few days.
