Real Soccer 09

[GreenLightJerky]

This game is awesome.
It takes a minute to get the controls down but once you do its really smooth and responsive.
lots of options and control!
Great JOB GAMELOFT.

No problem for me so far. I played 2 league games and it's working well. Try rebooting the iPhone. That might help.

Looks not too bad but I'm not too sure if it'll be easy to play though. I'm used to hard button controls like PS2 game pads and stuff. $10 is quite a bit. Should have a free limited version for people to try out the controls and see if it's suitable for them IMHO.

I'm still considering. Will update you if i do purchase it.

I just played it, it's really cool, I read a lot of reviews for it

 

[fsartono]

we are now starting to see better and better mainstream games .. this one is awesome!!

 

[bluelondon]

best game so far for the iphone, can't stop playing it

 

[daneoni]

Its a good game but i found the controls difficult to get used to...even more so if you have a screen protector on your phone. Also penalty kicks are significantly difficult (i've only won 1 out of 7), commentary should be added and goal celebration should be improved...right now it looks like a bunch of players chanting and praying to some kind of oracle

I only had one penalty in a match but completely missed so I tried the penalty section of the menu and bloody hell they are hard to score.

I only have a couple games left in the league and I yet to loose a match, this is on the hardest setting with game time set to 15 minutes. It is well worth the price but it could do with a couple of updates.

I'm guessing [app]Real Football 2009[/app] is just non-american title of the game? They should really remove it from the U.S. store. People are going to get confused.

Hmmm... the only place they call it soccer is in the US. Anyway, it's called Real Soocer 2009 in the american store.

Yes, it was kind of hilarious the first couple of times, but it looks pretty stupid now.

Does anyone know what the two bars in the top-right corner of the screen mean? I assume the bigger one reflects the condition of the player, but what about the little orange one above it?

 

[FearlessFreep]

I am not a soccer [football] fan, however this is perhaps one of the best games I've played on the iPhone to date.

I'm averaging a red card per match. Very fun though and moves quickly without the 'phantom falling on the ground and writhing in pain only to spring up after being helped from the field' performances.

 

[EvanLugh]

Def. my favourite game. 1 problem is too many red cards and holding B to chase/tackle then having to press it long and hard (that's what she said) again to pass.
9.5/10

i was wondering the same thing

 

[dehory]

Sometimes the little one is green.

One bug with condition is that when you bring on subs, their condition drops almost immediately so it's like they've been playing the whole match...

I just got this the other day, and it's pretty good. But, it really kills my battery. I only play for 15 or so minutes and it seems to drain a lot, more so than anyother game.

Anyone else notice this?

I have played quite mammoth sessions, about 2 hours straight, and it hasn't drained the battery any more then running other applications.

The one thing that annoys me is the auto player selection when defending... it jumps between players far too quickly and should have a setting that enables "auto or manual player selection". Other than that it's a superb first attempt at a footy game...

With the success of the App Store how long until EA announce FIFA 2009 I wonder.

Really I thought it was quite good at selecting the defenders, perhaps we have different style of play. You can tap anywhere on the screen to change which player is selected.

For some reason, when I play the game in any cup or league mode, it always chooses the same stadium for me (Lombardo stadium I think). Anyone knows why? I don't see an option to set stadium to random in cup/league mode.

Yeah it does that to me on league too, i'm not really fussed though.

 

[Phish311]

can anyone else comment about battery life and how this app affects it?

This game doesn't really affect it going down any faster than it normally would when playing a game. Or at least it doesn't for my iPhone.

Yeah doesn't really affect my iPhone/iPod. I could play for an hour and my battery remain full or just under full. IT could be different for other people, though.

I got it because the graphics looked good. I'm having trouble understanding how it works, though. Part of my problem is that I don't know much about soccer -- beyond kicking the ball toward the proper goal. I'll have to read about how the controls work, and how you get the player to the ball. I wish there were a "slow mo" mode for learning. Everything happens too fast for me.

there is a tutorial for all the basic moves.

Thanks! It doesn't bother me much, but I wasn't sure if it was a bug with my phone or just the way the game is.
