A dream comes true

Never played it, anyone remember "Striker" for the SNES? That was a whacky soccer game.

I adored Striker, especially the indoor match option.

Sensible Soccer is one hell of a game, very simple with beautiful feel, but it just won't unsurp Pro Evo 5 for me.

virtua striker on dreamcast playing as sonic the hedgehog ftw

The only football game (sorry, no love for americans ) I played more than 5 minuted was Fifa 98, Ronaldo had the most accurate shots ever.

indoor yes!! you kept getting these ridiculous results at the end of the matches, like 23 - 11 goals

I don't see the point in sports games, it's all about what you can't do in real life for me so playing football on a console game just seems pointless when you can just go down the park and play for real...

The same thing I have wondered about The Sims series, why play your boring ass life when you are trapped in it?

true...but many people do see the point of sports games because in reality, can you easily go play football for your favorite NFL team? Or football (a.k.a. Soccer) for your favorite football team? Maybe...but are you really likely to do that? You can become a NASCAR driver, but is that realistic? Are you? It's a lot easier (and safer) to buy some video game and try to live out such fantasies that way. Given the popularity of sports games, a lot of people see the point.

Personally, I don't really see the point much either. Maybe football and snowboarding games...

Granted, you can play as a drunkard or a psycho in Sims, but I'd rather go in to the jungle and stab people in the back in Farcry Instincts or lurk in the shadows in Thief 3 :roll:

But anyway, the way I see sports games, or should I say basketball games since they are the only sports games I play, even if I can grab the ball and go out to toss it around, I still can't be Grant Hill and kick some major ass in Madison Square Garden.

Yeah, PES5 is electronic crack.

You could go buy a gun and go on a rampage, but you choose not to, i'm terrible at tennis but pretty good at virtua tennis. can i not play that? why must games be limited to certain things? because you don't understand something someone else likes?

Sensible Soccer is the only 'sports' game I've enjoyed, and that's because it was hyper speed and pretty detached from the real thing anyway. And, though slightly off topic, I remember the Sensible Soccer crossover map for Cannon Fodder being awesome.
