Ive just borrowed David Beckham soccer on the GBA.
I am furious, the game has to be one of the worst football games ever.
The big disgrace is the names of players and clubs. My beloved Arsenal are called Highbury, and the only players who you can marginally recognise are Seabird (Seaman)Spires (Pires) and Vera (Vieira). Yes they have called one of the greatest midfeilders of our day after a hairy chinned, blue rinsed old granny.
Rangers and Celtic are called Glasgow Green and Glasgow Blue.
Its just laughable, I could not believe it. I know you need permision to use the names but this is just ridiculus, no effort has been made. There are people at arsenal called Kane and Uptown, what were they thinking. The only player with the right name is David Beckham.
Not only the poor, poor attempt at names the game play is the very worst imaginable, a blind, quadrapleigic (I know its spelt wrong) three year old could score a goal easily.
Why bother bring out games like this, it is terrible.
I have not played either of the other football games on the GBA but I hope they are a lot better.

It is coming to the point now where Football cames can get no better in that they have reached the line of realism that cannot be improved. The FIFA series have always recieved critical panning for not being realistic enough or for being too slow but everyone took to them like a doorknob because they are a well known company and everyone overlooked the ISS series. Luckily ISS now has some hard earnt recognition and they have (in my opinion) surpassed FIFA in every way it can be. I predicted that Beckham game to be a stinker as it's commercialised and endorsed which means that it's a terrible game 99.9% of the time!
