For most football games are about strategy and skill and not just a case of tearing down a field and blasting the ball as hard as you can when you get to the other end hoping that it would go in.
Although back in the Sega Mater system's day's football games used to be just a case of selecting your team and tearing down a field. Thanks to modern technology we can now create the most realistic footy games on the planet.
You can select from dozens of teams and stadiums, you can choose your starting line up, your formation you can even select the weather conditions. You can also make in game changes and substitutions, which you could never have dreamed of doing when the Mater system or the SNES were around.
In some games you can buy the players you want or of course you can sell them too. In games like Football manager 2001 you can manage your whole team.
Whenever technology improves football games will also improve.
I love football games but these days there all much the same because football is football.
The only things that really change in football games are the graphics and everything else stays more or less the same.
Wouldn't it be nice though if a twist was added to make football games more interesting?
Maybe Namco and EA could get together and make a game along the lines of a Mario Tennis Speedball cross.
Perhaps they could take the bribing the referee feature from Speedball and perhaps the power shot from Mario Tennis.
It would make for some very interesting gaming.
After all they gave tennis a twist with Mario Tennis and they did it with hockey so why not football?
They could also put together some unusual teams using characters from different games.
I doubt this will ever happen though because football is a game like no other.
So I guess we'll just keep on tapping our buttons and twiddling our analogue sticks until something new and exciting comes along!
