Similar Soccer Game

ramairluvr · 07-26-2018, 09:11 PM

Hey everyone. Does anyone know if there is a soccer game that is similar to OOTP where you can import historic players/teams into the game and play with both current players and players from the past?

Only soccer game I know like OOTP is Football Manager 2018. Not sure about historic stuff though you would probably have to research it

I get a headache every time I try to figure out how too play Football Manager(any version).

I know OOTP will never make a soccer game but there needs too be one out there with less detail and something very similar to the OOTP games.

there is a little simpler version of football manager called football mgr touch. pretty long free demo on steam. I liked it. no historic as far as I know.

Thanks everyone. I will check these two games out.

Football tactics and glory on Steam looks like a fun game. It's a turned based soccer game and there are mods for pretty much any league out there. I'm grabbing it soon for sure.

I purchased Football Tactics & Glory today and installed the United States mod and started with my hometown Saint Louis FC. I'm having a blast so far, it's a turned based tactical game and loads of fun.

Very accessible, great UI and easy to understand/play. (at least if you have some soccer knowledge)

I've never used it but there's a Historical Database 95'- 96' for FM 2018 . There might be others out there. FM is the only Footy sim I play so I don't know how the others would work. There's no mix of current and past players and FM doesn't have an option to "Create a Player", only edit them.

Frankly, after one season I wouldn't see the point of any historical database for FM. After a couple of Transfer Windows, and especially the frequency in which managers change teams in this game, the squads would look nothing like the original database after a short period of time. There is no "Historical Transactions" like in OOTP.

Soccer knowledge can be contrary to success in he game, since it's really not a soccer game; it's more like chess.

Not that that is a bad thing. I have 400+ hours in that little gem.

Football Manager does not have a historical import or leagues. They are all player created and they are pretty lame. Football Manager is about current time and Miles, the guy who does most of the work for the game doesn't seem interested and most of the online community doesn't either. I have played every version of FM since '12 and each year one person on a forum asks if FM will ever have in game historical leagues and the idea always gets shot down. Stay away from Football Manager.

I meant more in terms of the tactical side playing the games/pulling up the midfield/covering strikers/etc.. I move my players without the ball just as much as the player with the ball.
