When it's your turn, select a player and decide where they should move or perhaps prepare them to head the ball. You are the coach and have real control of the team. It is not as polished as it could be, but the core game design should appeal to strategy fans.Tactical Soccer The New Season is a turn-based soccer simulation.Ĭontrol all 11 players at the same time - instead of shouting at your left back to ‘get forward’ you control them and can build up an attack exactly how you want. Tactical Soccer The New Season is fun more often than not, and unique. Titles like Football Manager 2016 certainly offer more depth, especially off of the field - but at quite a higher cost and without the direct control over your players. I actually enjoyed that, and though there was a definite learning curve, I liked the fact that my actions had a more direct impact on the endgame. You have more on field control of your team than many of the simulation titles out there as well. Instead of relying on lightning quick reflexes like many sports games where you are actually playing the characters manually, Tactical Soccer The New Season tries to set a slower pace. It is more a strategy game than a sports one. Usually graphics are not the most important part to a strategy game, and at the end of the day - that is how I think of this title. They get the job done, it's easy enough to tell teams apart, but the character models are quite simple.
The aforementioned visuals and animations are pretty basic. The presentation and some of the options are more limited as a result, but the tactical element really allows the game to be something different than most of its brethren.īecause these matches can be quite long, I can appreciate the mid game save. So if you are looking for a bargain sports game, you can do a lot worse than this one. In terms of the simulation elements in the game, there are heavier weight competitors out there - though they usually cost three or four times as much as well. Also included as part of the off of the field package are the different modes, such as exhibition, Knockout cups or league championship mode.Īdmittedly, more modes and more things to do off of the field would have been nice. Off of the field, you can slowly shape your players into the kinds of athletes who fit your style of play.
TACTICAL SOCCER THE NEW SEASON HOW TO
Since players have a variety of different traits, from tackling to speed, passing ability and more, you need to learn how to leverage those traits on the field. That really helps you to set the stage, and while it works for defense, the game is at its most entertaining on offense when you are trying to create a break away for a quality shot on goal.
There are far prettier soccer games out there, but the 3D board allows you to move the camera around and line things up from a variety of angles. In terms of the presentation, the visuals are really quite simple. You need to start to read your opponent and anticipate how things will turn out, because bunching your characters together can frequently lead to them being out position, and a single opponent leaking away from the mass of bodies to accept a pass can be a dangerous thing for your goalie. Early on, it is difficult to resist the urge to make most/all of your players crowd the ball. There is a learning curve to be had here. The simulation games that handle the actual movement for you do tend to be better balanced.
