It should have been the start of something great, but SWOS was somehow allowed to be eclipsed by FIFA and PES. Management features and player trading were boosted by the inclusion of a whopping 1500 teams and 27,000 players. You got the same fantastic arcade-oriented gameplay, but the title comprehensively acknowledged the rest of the world’s existence, with the kind of slavish devotion of a true footballing aficionado. It took everything that was great about Sensible Soccer and just ran with it. It couldn’t last, of course – but boy was it fun while it did.ġ) Sensible World Of Soccer (1994, Amiga)Īlmost 30 years young, SWOS is still top of the league. You could waltz through five tackles, if you had a skillful enough player, but you couldn’t get away with just running the ball into the net. You could score screamers from 40 yards or tap-ins after a goalmouth scramble. Not quite as frantically insane as Sensible Soccer, not quite as gloriously detailed as FIFA 18, but instead a wonderful mid-way between the two extremes. On the gameplay side, it was as fluid and playable as football games get. The Master League had by now developed into a proper four-division set-up, with promotion, relegation and a Champions League equivalent and there were even, finally, proper player names. What made it so special? Just… everything.

But that would be silly, so instead we’ve picked the probable highest point in a series of very high ones. Frankly, we could have had all of them in this list.

We could have picked any of the four games from Pro Evo 2 to Pro Evo 5 and made a case for its inclusion. That its standards did eventually drop was inevitable, but it doesn’t make the glory years from 2002-2005 any less special.

Well, Pro Evolution Soccer managed the same feat. The Simpsons did that from about season 3 to season 9, for instance, but it’s pretty rare. But then it does – for year after year after year.

There are times in popular culture when a thing – band, TV series, game, whatever – reaches such a peak, you think it can’t possibly stay there. But in truth ISS Pro Evolution was already creeping ahead of FIFA by this time it was more realistic yet also more playable – and that’s a winning combination in any game. While the Master League was a great addition to the series, it would have meant nothing if the gameplay hadn’t matched up to it. Instead, it gave you the chance to shape the team of your dreams, packing it with attacking midfielders if you chose, or instead making sure you had a Mourinho-solid defence. You could buy and sell players, but you used points earnt by winning games, rather than money, and there was none of the complicated day-to-day running of the club that you’d have to endure in Championship Manager. And it was here that it first appeared.Īlthough at this stage a relatively basic affair, the Pro Evo Master League still bolted a decent career sim on to an already superb football game. 11) FIFA Street (2005, PS2)Īh, the Master League: just how many hours have we spent cocooned in your comforting embrace, steadily building up a team of honest pros and turning them into world beaters? Probably several thousand – and that’s no exaggeration. The first 10 matches of Retro Goal can be played for free. The convenience of being handheld makes it all the better, too. Retro Goal is a beautiful throwback to the SEGA days of football games and features such star names as Garrido, Hough and Frezza (not actual players, of course). If you’re not sure, you get ten games for free, whereaand even unlocking the entire game costs a pittance.

You just need some patience, and to power up couple of strikers so they’ve got enough welly. We’ve seen grumbles that the game is pay-to-win, but we’ve won everything you can win in the game, without doing a Manchester City.

Instead of full games, you play out highlights, using gestural controls (with the aid of Matrix-style slo-mo) to bury the ball in the back of the net. However, rather than veering towards management, much more of this game is played out on the pitch. Retro Goal is by the New Star Soccer folks, and has some similarities, in being a fusion of management and action. The goalies were still rubbish, though, natch. The result was the first truly fluid football game, where you could string together some genuinely breathtaking moves. Brimming with options, advanced players could utilise techniques such as ‘5-direction’ passing, sliding tackles and backheels, all from a joystick with only a single fire button. 13) Emlyn Hughes International Soccer (1988, C64)Ī spiritual successor to Andrew Spencer’s International Soccer, Emlyn Hughes International Soccer was the last great side-on football game of the 1980s.
