The only thing missing was a United vs City derby where you thrash them 4-0! 😂
I'm not sure I could have pulled that off but it sure would have been awesome!
As a side, I throughly enjoyed the original when it came out and this one too. Just fantastic. But it’s so hard to play. I’ve played international soccer on a c64 on an emulator and that’s slightly more forgiving :-)
It can be tough for sure. I was surprised how well I did as I was really expecting to get destroyed! Loved International Soccer! The good old cartridge game. I grew up with that
I agree it's feels very rewarding doing clearances with headers and saves with the goalkeeper. It's really quite a bit of programing genius for an 8bit computer and the learning curve feels very rewarding, you are in complete control compared to nearly all other 8bit football games where the AI has all the players running to the ball.
I had a friend who was a master at this game, he could volley shots in, his was really good. He had it on his Amstrad CPC.
I completely agree with this, great points! Even now it feels fun and clever to play, albeit it's slower than a 'modern' football game. It's a joy to go back to and I already want to record part 2! I'm not sure I've played the Amstrad version, but I did play the c64. I prefer the speccy version to that though
@YouveBeenGamed I've played the C64 version, you're right it's not as good. Amstrad is much better, great colours but feels a fraction slower, but it might just be my imagination. Maybe I'm biased but I think the Spectrum version is the best.
This version is so much better than the C64 version. It's actually playable. The C64 version is so slow, the players look like they are trying to run underwater. Did you ever play Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing? That was my favorite sports game when I was a kid. Not sure how popular it would be but I'd love to see you do a career mode on a game like that to see if you can make it to a title fight. The later fighters get to be pretty tough.
Yeah i remember when I got it being so excited to play what I thought would be an upgraded version from the speccy. How wrong I was! I played the heck out of Barry McGuigan Boxing, on the c64 that is! Not sure if I ever made it to a title fight, that game got HARD!
So great!👏
thanks mate
Absolutely loved this! My favourite game!!!! Your actually decent at it!!! Sorry to hear about your problems, if helps you talking about them ,on your videos, just do it. Really enjoyed it matchday 2 rules!!!
Thank you, I did ok considering it's been a while! Thank you. It is a sort of therapy getting to air a few things on my videos! Part 2 of this is being edited as we speak
@@YouveBeenGamed thats great, looking forward to it!
City back in the day were not a good team, usually smashed and I think relegated a couple of times too, so not sure if the games being more representative of the time, quiet accurate from memory.
@@ademason3096 yeah that's true, they yo-yo-ed up and down the leagues back then didn't they
Nowt wrong with sports games if thats what you like. I would enjoy a SWOS 96/97 career or season. That would be great.
What can you say about Utd? I think Amorin has to drop his 3-4-3 formation and go 4-2-3-1 to stabilise and make best use of the squad. I feel sorry for you Utd fans cos it must be tough after all those years of success. Maybe they need to bring Ole back?! 🤷♂️🙈
I agree with that SWOS always great
@markbutl always a lot of fun 🙂
I might very well have to do that, although I will definitely get fired as that game can be brutal! I think Amorim needs to stick to his guns. That's the style he plays and we bought him in based on it. The players need to adapt or go. Nothing has worked in recent years and we have to give this guy a chance to do his thing. It is tough for sure, but I'm old enough to remember when we were shit BEFORE we started winning things!
@@YouveBeenGamed time will tell, wont it? I think he reakises the job is tougher than he first realised. Thing is about his formation is the midfield 2 get overwhelmed. Only Conte has been successful with that formation in the prem and he had Kante to call on, who was like having two defensive midfielders. I wish him all the best and i do hope he gets time to instill his ideas. I dont like the constant sackings. Its no way to build stability and success.
Yes, SWOS can be brutal. I remember getting relegated with the Boro, surviving getting sacked and rebuilding the team and won loads and finished the 20 seasons!
@paulward2076 the formation worked well today didn't it! I think it proves that with the right personnel in there it certainly can. But I totally agree with your points too. It's a tough one to call. I think he will get time. The owners know what a mess he has inherited. Great job on SWOS!
Its honestly no problem you talking about your life and all that. Youre only human and if it helps you making a video and talking a bit about yourself then thats a good thing. Whatever helps and keeps you going, eh?
thanks mate it certainly helps
@@YouveBeenGamed thats all that matters. Keep doing what youre doing. Theres enough of us that appreciate you and what you do to keep watching 🙂
They never pick Leicester 🤷🏼♂️
🤣 take it as a compliment, I only picked teams I hate and want to destroy!
