Moderator Tommy Posted August 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2021 So there's a new football Manager from German developer Gerald Köhler, who also developed Anstoß and the FIFA Manager things back in the day. Anyone tried it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 22, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 22, 2021 I was tempted, but then read numerous reviews complaining about extremely poor and primitive match engine. So I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I read up on this game and saw that you can send streakers onto the pitch to disrupt a game, take my fucking money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just now, nudge said: Wait, for real? Apparently yeah . I read an article about it and they said that it's not the best game, as it's just totally bonkers - apparently you can do all kinds of crazy stuff.

Yup, Anstoß (A German football manager from the same creator) had the same gimmicks. Heard in this you can also tamper with your opponents' floodlights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 22, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 22, 2021 That actually changes everything As long as it's fun and the game doesn't take itself too seriously, I can live with shit match engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I didn't mind Ultimate Soccer Manager, one of my favourite parts was being able to bet against your own team or offering bungs. Followed by a newspaper article saying that you were caught red handed and arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if it's just for fun, then who cares Kunio-kun no Nekketsu Soccer League is literally my favourite football game of all time, and let's just say it's not exactly a very realistic one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's VERY similar (I guess I just played it under a different name? Player models look a bit different too though) to a game I used to looooove as a kid. Got an NES with that game from my uncle back in the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the same game, it had different releases in different countries and consoles, but it's the same one I loved it, played it non-stop as a kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy Posted August 24, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2021 That really brought back memories indeed. This was the first football game I've played (apart from some Manager Games on C64), on Sega Mega drive: Loved that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. How do you do those super shots again where everyone in the way fucking dies? Barely managed to score, even though all of my opponents field players were dead.
