NSS4 offers an outstanding database of 30,000 players from 3,000 clubs representing 90 different countriesĭo not expect the extravagance of FIFA or PES, but the gameplay of NSS4 is solid and refreshingly simplistic.
So the official licenses are not missed - plus the game plays well regardless, especially on the field of play. In fact, I looked forward to seeing how each change was made. It all amounts to an overall database on par with the likes of Football Manager, which is no small feat when you consider the size of the NSS4 development team.Īlso, I loved the name changes it did not detract from my experience. Also, each team possesses all the relevant information, and the kits look close enough to the real thing. Men U plays in Old Trefford, and is led by Roo Firdinand, Weyne Ruoney and Ryen Goggs.Īnother strong point is that every player is equipped with authentic attributes and personal details, like nationality, place/date of birth, height and weight. For example, Manchester United is now Menchester United. The good thing is that these changes are subtle and not too drastic. Nevertheless, that does not mean that everything is entirely fictional it just means that there are some changes made to every name. So you will not get any "real" names in NSS4. The downside here is that there is no official license for the teams, players and leagues. Of course, like many great things, there is also a catch. With 30,000 players and 3,000 clubs from 90 different countries, NSS4 manages to top every other soccer game out there.
And as you will see, it even manages to defeat them in some areas.īar none, the most impressive feature of NSS4 is the beastly amount of clubs available. However, do not let that tag fool you, because like the best lower-league clubs that manage to compete with their higher-leagued competitors, NSS4 does the same with the likes of FIFA and PES. are also the developers of other indie titles, such as Sensational Soccer and the previous three iterations of the NSS series.Īnd yes, you did read that right earlier, NSS4 is an indie game. Based out of Oxford, UK, Si (as Read is known by in the NSG community) and Co. These events are popular because they prove that matches are not always decided by who has the most money or by who is the most well known, but by who has the bigger drive, commitment and determination on that one day.Īccordingly, it only seems appropriate that today I offer for review, New Star Soccer 4, a 3-D soccer indie game that is the latest PC/Mac-based release by Simon Read and New Star Games. Amongst the major worldwide professional sports, soccer is unique for staging competitions like the FA Cup, which give lower-league teams an opportunity to compete against and occasionally defeat their wealthier brethren.
