Football Superstars FREE on Steam

agreed...

"I don't think these clubs are licensed."

Haha! Seems legit...

You should make a review of the game ;)

In a best case scenario, I was hoping this might be something like a multiplayer version of the FIFA "Become a Pro" mode (or whatever it's called these days).

Sounds like it might be a load of balls though :(

That's one of the problems I forgot to mention in my previous post.

The pay-to-win element (called "Bonding" or "Bonders" in game) is pretty annoying as people who have the money can essentially buy stats and items that make them impossible to play against, particularly if they're also highly skilled at the game.

Luckily not that many people have the money and/or are not that skilled so it's usually not too much of a problem to deal with, however it is something to be wary of.

That one played with hands?

European football IS real football. It's that silly sport you have in the US that's shitty. The least you could have done was invent a name for it, not try to steal one. It's not even an appropriate name, considering the sport consists mostly of men trying to kill each other's brain cells.

Yeah - when I hear the word "football", the furthest thing from my mind is a sport played primarily using one's feet.

Those crazy Europeans/ROW. What WILL they think of next?

It is "actual football", but most of the games you're likely to play are 5v5 (technically it's 4v4, 1 being the AI controlled goal keeper).

Also you're wrong about 11v11 being only available to subscribers. The first starting Amateur matches (levels 1-10) and Division 4 (levels 11-24) are 5v5 only. By Division 3 (levels 25-49) you get access to 5v5 and 7v7. Division 2 and 1 you'll only have access to 7v7 and 11v11.

You might think you'll want to jump straight to a 11v11 match, but trust me, it is a very very bad idea. The vast majority of people playing don't stick to their positions, this is particularly true for newer, low level players. Even the 7v7 matches in Div 3 turn into utter chaos with no one defending, people constantly getting caught offside and everyone chasing the ball rather than getting into open space. It gets better in Div 2 as people have more experience, common sense and generally know how to play the game.

I actually like the 5v5 matches the best, it's offers a decent team size but also allows you to make an impact on the game. In some of the larger games, 7v7 for example, you may not get to do much at all and feel a bit left out. Also there's no offside rule in 5v5 :)

Another thing, you do earn FS Bonds in game (game currency that you have to physically pay for) albeit slowly, which means you don't have to spend real world money. So it is possible, after some time of playing, to buy some of the premium items offered in game.

I love these kind of detailed answers. Thanks.

Thanks heaps for this. I'm on the fence over whether to try it TBH. Perhaps next month when my download cap resets, I'll give this one a go.

I believe this misconception has been discussed elsewhere in the thread. May I suggest you check out this helpful visual explanation (courtesy of Max422) should your confusion persist.

Don't worry. It IS actually football.

:P

Silly American. :p

I'm American o_O
