Being one of the most popular sports on earth earns you the right to have multiple video games based on it. The history of football-based video games is loooong. There have been hundreds if not thousands of iterations of sports games for different platforms.
Football games are available for all major consoles and also come available for PC and mobile phones. But which one’s are the best?
If you are a football fan you will enjoy this list.
FIFA
The FIFA franchise is definitely one of the more famous football simulator games on the market. It allows you to take control of the team and play against the other player, particularly your friend. The latest games from the franchise are particularly interesting as the development of programming capabilities have allowed for each player to have their own style.
FIFA allows you to devise tactics, perform special moves, and play the game almost as the lifelike counterpart that we have in real life.
Football Manager
FM is definitely one of the fan’s favorites. It allows you to take control of a team as a manager and literally arrange every aspect of it. You are the one who controls the tactics, the finances, player transfers, and many more things.
Football Manager is a long-running game and it seems that each new iteration has improved from the previous one. It just seems to get better and better and is a compelling style of game that is enough to suck any player in.
Rocket League
This is not your typical football game but it is based on the rules of modern football. Players take control of rocket-powered automobiles as they need to score goals with them instead of players. You can even customize your car and make it hilariously overpowered all with the aim of scoring mind-blowing goals.
The game is a lot of fun to play as there are spectacular turnarounds and the score can change in a blink of an eye. All flowed by Michael Bay-like explosions.
Kopanito All-Star Soccer
What do you get when you combine superpowers and football? Well, you get Kopanito All-Star Soccer of course!
It is a football-based game where you take control of players who are imbued with special powers. Meaning that your players have power-ups or special moves that can allow them to perform different stunts. You can use a magnet to steal the ball from an opposing player. You can teleport from one side of the pitch to the other in an instant. Or you can perform a power shot that knocks down every opposing player including the goalkeeper.
Did we mention that there’s no ref included?
