Sociable Soccer vs. Sensible Soccer 2006 ;-)

Hi,

I was rather surprised that so far nobody has brought up Sensible Soccer 2006 (plus Mega Patch 4). As far as I am concerned, Sociable Soccer in some respect is far closer to Sensi 2006 (plus Mega Patch 4) than it is to SWOS - for instance 360° plus more than one button! As Sensi 2006 got quite an amount of flak at the time and the fan patches (that culminated in the various Mega Patches) managed to salvage and rectify quite a lot, I would like to hear / read your opinion.

Tried to find my copy when Sociable was delayed but couldn't find it. Guess I threw it away.
With fan patches, it was alright, but without it was horrible. (Can you hear me Eurogamer? Clearly not a 9!). I liked the graphics more than current Sociable soccer, I didn't mind the big heads and players weren't as big. But the game didn't have enough teams and modes to be still entertaining after thirty or so matches so didn't play anymore after that. It had potential but never got any love after release. That's what I'm scared of for Sociable soccer. For instance, I hope the single player of Sociable Soccer will be better (too bad manager mode is missing) for its longevity.

Still mad at Eurogamer for deceiving (maybe in return for something from codies?) and codemasters for not supporting their customers at all.

Hi, it was not all! that bad ;-). However, the fan patches took it to another level. At least, as far as I remember, it was the game that introduced 360° to football games.

For me the wobbling camera and teleporting keepers were too much. Can't remember if there were other gameplay issues...

If you look very carefully, you can actually have the same phenomenon of teleporting keepers in SWOS as well.

Can you still download the megapatch 4 from somewhere? Last time I looked, all the sites were closed. Camera mods can be downloaded from https://web.archive.org/web/20100726163944/http://users.utu.fi:80/tlvais/sensi/camera.html
