Axis Football 2015
Ok I’m fully supporting these devs because this is really the only way that we are likely to get a good football sim on the PC. EA has exclusive deals with NFL and NCAA and will never port to the PC. MS is trying to make make exclusive deals with 2K so that they can have sports games exclusive to xb1 and MS10. In addition It looks like MS is trying to start yet again their own distribution network for the PC that will only run on xb1 and MS10.
I don’t like this environment where you are being forced to buy a console or upgrade an OS just so you can play games. If you are like me and don’t like the way this is going then you need to support indie developers like this who are really trying to make a difference.

First off I would like to say that I think the passing mechanic is the best innovation to the football genre in over a decade. I just wish that the rest of the game was as well fleshed out. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had fun with the game, but it feels like it should be in early access or a promotional tool to get a kick-stater going and not something being sold as a finished retail product. Also, it’s awesome that this game supports Xbox One controllers.
For me it just has too many issues to recommend it at $20, which puts it in the same class of competition as games like Rocket League and SuperMega Baseball. But at a discount it is worth checking out but bear in mind it does have a few glitches and bugs here and there.

Axis Football 2017
Having so much fun with this game… as far as non-NFL, non-Madden games go, this is top notch. I’ve been turned off of Madden for a long time, so this game has been awesome to see progress to the point it is at now.
It’s not perfect, but it’s fun and that’s all that really matters. Gameplay is fast and smooth - it reminds me a bit of Tecmo Bowl back in the day. The aimed passing is a lot of fun, I still have to get around to setting up my controller with joy2key so I can combine controller movement with mouse aimed passing… then I think I will have the perfect set up.

This is the only cheap American football game on the market as of now. When I saw it, I was ecstatic! I wanted a football game for the PC so badly. While it’s nice to have a game that can compete with Madden in some form or another, I have to admit: This game is nowhere close to Madden as far as animation quality, lack of bugs, AI quality, etc. You can do far more in Madden than in this game. It’s insanely buggy, and the AI is not on the same level as Madden. If you want to decide your own defensive plays, expect to see safeties and CBs just giving up on recievers. Even IF they keep with their target reciever, you will never see an interception… EVER. At least when it’s your safeties. You’ll get picked off over and over and over again. Juking and power plays are lackluster, and rarely work. If you decide to simulate a season (which you can do, and I’m so glad you can), and if the team you chose doesn’t reach the playoffs, there is no way to simulate past that point. You have to delete that Franchise Mode save, and start over.

Ballsy! World Cup 2020
Great little footy game, enjoyed it so much so far. If you are fan of Amiga’s or C64 football games, retro look will warm your heart. Ballsy! plays smooth and after recent update, without any issues on Linux. I highly recommend this game.

Fun little arcade soccer game. Reminds me of something retro like the original fifa for the sega genesis or something like sensible soccer but has some nice tight controls that make it fun. Liked the AI and felt the teams had their own personality in their style of play. I play short little games to just take my mind of things. World cup is short and sweet, maybe making this game online would give it more longevity. But I would recommend for any soccer/football fans that like that arcade feel (no fouls or throw-ins keep the action going).

Dino Dini’s Kick Off™ Revival - Steam Edition
Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival has taken a lot of stick over the last year after the PS4 release, In my mind, largly due to a misunderstanding of what the game is. This is not a football simulation. Kick Off Revial tries to capture the essence of football in an arcade style game and put the player in full control of what happens on the pitch.
This means the ball does not stick to your player.
Passing direction and power is not assisted
You can run in any direction
Height of kicks and shots is player controlled.

I played the original kick off for a million hours when I was a kid and i have so many fond memories of it that I was a bit dubious about this remake (especially after reading the reviews).
But I took the plunge and I’ve got to say, I think it is even better than the original!!
The same lightning fast gameplay and natural feeling controls - even though it’s still one button, I think the controls are much more refined now with an analogue controller.
A warning though - you need to practice…a lot!

Legendary Eleven: Epic Football
This is the only team sport style game i have played but with that being said this game was more than i expected a soccer game to be. The first goal scored when i got this game was a made after bouncing off the top of a cross bar and then having some do a backflip-kick which sent the ball flying into the goal. This game had amazing visuals and a very friendly appearance. It also was very VERY intense. In both the Europe cup and the World Cup i had one 3-2 in the final games. Other than that the game is incredibly easy to learn and i enjoyed every single bit of it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and thanks for reading my review.

Legendary Eleven: Epic Football
A retro style football game which is fun for short periods.
Pros:
👍
❤️ Nice retro style graphics and sound
❤️Achievements
❤️ Sticker book system is an interesting idea
Cons:
👎
⛔Online player base very low
⛔No feature for a custom tournament
⛔ Super shots are virtually impossible to save
⛔Play is quite basic
Overview
Legendary Eleven: Epic Football harks back to the days of Tecmo World Cup 90 but with improved graphics and sound. If you remember playing that game in the arcades, you’ll know what to expect.

Super Arcade Football
I would like to write this review mainly for the developers in order to assist them with the development of their game. I think this game is a gem especially for older people like me who miss the good old days of kick off, which is now abondonware software, from amiga 500. However, I think the developers are not hitting the sweet spot for people like me. Below are a few suggestions for the developers to take into consideration.
1. In the current version, the story mode is a good start. I think you can make that story mode amazing by incorporating the aspects of the “player manager” game from the Amiga 500.

I’ve been into football games since Match Day and Football Manager on the BBC Micro. I’ve played a few since then: Kick Off, Player Manager, Sensible Soccer, Kick Off 2 and Goal! Although I never really got in to FIFA or Pro Evo. I was after a more old school footie kickabout game I could enjoy with my friends. So from the end my Amiga days until now there is a massive gap in my football games. I have never really found anything as good as Kick Off or Sensi. Then I heard about Super Arcade Football on Steam Greenlight.

Doug Flutie’s Maximum Football 2020
I like this game, I really do. However, I do have some complaints.
-
The kicking game is not well thought out.
-
Whoever said this game is based on physics is way off base. I don’t know how many times my guy gets caught and tackled from behind and yet I can’t catch up to a guy. OR when I have a clear path to the QB by both LB he some is able to step out of the way and run the ball passed both guys and then he is able to find a hole and get passed my linemen for a gain of 10 or more yards. So that doesn’t make sense, especially when when I do a running play and I try to sidestep or speed burst and automatically get tackled.

It really hard to recommend this as rough as it is. It’s kind of hard to call it a football game as rough as it is.
Smoothing & Polish there is none.
Everything is extremely abrupt and rough. The animations the transitions. The menus. Nothing is polished nothing feels finished and nothing feels complete. Getting a TD feels like whiplash as it jump cuts to an endzone dance, at break neck speed. They should of spent less time on endzone dances and more time on collision boxes.Which is seems like they did. Instant replay’s are a button press option given at random by the game. So if you want to watch that move or hit again. FORGET IT. Much less saving them. They’ve not yet offered me a replay on a play I actually wanted to see. Individual player stats are also given at random by the game. And only your teams basic stats and run pass breakdown are given in game.

Legend Bowl
Pixel art? Football? Modding? Yeah this game has all three. With a variety of different play calls and fast paced action, the game is a ton of fun either playing alone or with friends. 10/10 would recommend

I bought this game today, and I love it. I used to play Madden, but EA is trash. It’s a shame there’s no NFL licensed competition, but this is a really good video game football sim. I’m hoping they add online play eventually.

VR Soccer ‘96
ENG:
First thinks first: Even if this title have “VR” -word, however this is not (3D) VR headset a videogame. This VR means just Virtual Reality.
One of the most legendary football game has come back for sale. A game that has been selected as one of the world’s top ten best football video games in the world, at all times!
Also this a game was first 3D soccer a game ever, what was released.
This Actua Soccer (VR Soccer'96) video game was my first 3d soccer game for my childhood.
If you are looking for a top of the good and classic 3d soccer game so, here is perhaps the best 3d classic soccer game you can buy from Steam Store that works also windows 10 computers.

Axis Football 2020
I’ve been searching for a good coaching/front office football game for quite a while.
I know a lot of people buy this to play Madden style, controlling the players in the field but that’s not me. So bear that in mind. There are a few good games that allow you build a dynasty from the front office, but they don’t have any in game graphics and most players just sim their games quickly. There are other games that look almost like a game on TV, but the franchise aspects of play are disappointing. Can Axis football straddle the gap and do things well on both sides of the fence. I think so.

This is now the sixth edition of the series (I have purchased all of them except the first 2015 edition) and needs to be reviewed accordingly (the free grace/free pass period is over). If this was the 2017 edition, I am sure most would be extremely excited about the game’s future - however, it is not. It is now 2020. So where are we at then?
Cut to the chase:
I play coach-mode and spectate (I don’t control players on-field) - I like to play as a strategy game (coach & GM) and enjoy also being part of a living, breathing league (so I like to watch other teams’ games as well throughout the season) - and my review will be from this point of view.
