Super Soccer Blast: America vs Europe Reviews

I like all of it..

Is this beta? All bots work like they haven't seen a ball before.

I like how you don't get sent off for slide tackling the goalie when they're holding the ball (unlike stupid Fifa '98).

[h1]Simply Put:[/h1] * No Micro transactions. * Not Pretentious. * Easy to pick up. * Costs less than a Pizza.

I was expecting something closer to the Mario Strikers games, like it being really over the top and exciting, plus character customization. But it's kind of just worse-FIFA that's dumbed down. Also this is a controller game 100%, the keyboard controls are trash. You have to press a button on your controller/game pad when you first launch the game for it to register you are using a controller, there is no way to swap after the "Press any key to start" screen.

I bought this because I wanted to play women's soccer, this game prominently features a woman on the cover, and I want to support games that have gender representation. It turns out that in this game, all the teams, in all the tournaments and all the cups, are all men's teams. All the national teams, all the city clubs, every last one. So if you want to play women's soccer, it looks like you have to go through and manually create eleven new avatars for every team, one by one. Even then, this game does not include several nations traditionally strong in women's soccer, including Canada, Australia, and the United States (!!!). I don't understand. The developer already did the hard part of creating a bunch of character models and assets for women. Why not include at least a couple women's teams?

This game is a 3D iteration of any NES soccer game (ultimate league soccer, kick and run, top strike, soccer85 etc) with the worst possible outcome. There is no stats, no formations, no replays and if you try anything but easy difficulty, the only way to win is to run the ball with one player all over the field. Don't bother, this will not scratch any itch of yours. Doesn't feel like a soccer game nor is a good arcade one.

if you spawn in 80s you most buy it, if you like footbal its your dutty buy it. The AI is not so creepel like its looks on YT vids, the theme song its BLASTING, i really wish devs keep work on it, faster movents, 2 0r 3 dribles, revienga. Just keep work on it. In concluion: Fifa/PES its what we have, "Soccer"(lol) Blast its what we need.

Like other 'Blast' sports from Unfinished Pixel, the first Super Soccer Blast is highly regarded as having a nostalgic action-driven sports feeling. This sequel keeps the streak, taking from where the first game stopped and boosting content. Gameplay is basically the same, with the much needed improved AI from the last major updates, and so are graphics and the general cartoony art. Physics are slightly implemented (most notably the goalies that may punch the ball in any direction and concede corner kicks or even own goals, which in fact gives a better soccer feel to it) and the number of national and club teams is significantly improved, consequently the number of competitions - now giving some emphasis on Latin America as well as the name implies (tho there are a few African and Asian clubs as well). Its notorious creating/customizing tool is back too, once again brimming with options to create all kinds of real or funny teams with every known national or overseas territory flag known by mankind. In short, SSB:AvE, like its predecessor, is a true contender for best indie soccer game out there.

HUGELY DISAPPOINTING: I own the original "Super Soccer Blast", and thought that this new title, "Super Soccer Blast: America vs Europe", would offer many improvements. Sadly, I was very wrong. After reading the very lacking information about what was new in this game, and after being ignored when I contacted the game developers to see what improvements there were, I thought I would chance it given the implications from its title that this game would have some Latin American clubs. The truth is, the few improvements which do exist do not merit a new game in its own right. This "new" game should solely have been a patch or upgrade to the original game. Here are the reasons why: * Teams - the number of additional teams is very limited indeed. The list of Nations is practically identical from what I can see, and in terms of "clubs" there are maybe about 8-10 added. This is extremely lazy of the developers. Given they are using fake team names and fake player names, they could have provided a decent roster of European, (South) American and World clubs to play with. But no, they could only be bothered to provide a handful of fake club and player names. * Kits - there is literally ONE new kit template to use over the original game, which is the "single diagonal stripe". ONE... Good news if you are a River Plate fan, a small consolation. However, there are glaringly obvious missing basic kit templates such as "Hoops"/"Horizontal Stripes". This means that if you want to create the kits of famous football clubs such as Sporting Clube de Portugal (aka Sporting Lisbon), Celtic, Flamengo and the mighty QPR, you cannot. Liking to make all the big clubs, I was hugely disappointed by this. But by anyoe's standards, ONE new kit design is very poor by the devs. * Graphics - I cannot see ANY differences to the graphics at all. No improvements. Sure, they have change the background pics on menu screens, but that is it. Again, very lazy. * Gameplay - there are actually a couple of minor gameplay improvements, but for this sort of game - an arcadey button basher - does that really matter? As I said, overall I was very disappointed, and the developers not replying to my correspondence was the icing on this shizzle cake. Whether you own the original or not, save your money. This is defo not worth it.
