    Don't pay for this ever. Honestly I bought it and I sorely regret it even for an indie game it probably be worth a £1 or 2$ or something not what the ask for it. The graphics are appalling, I mean smearing a mouse across the screen because the developer was not bothered to add a refresh function is just bad.

The graphics are appalling, I mean smearing a mouse across the screen because the developer was not bothered to add a refresh function is just bad. The game mechanics are awful, the controls are more like guidelines for your player than actual orders and ai is so thick it was coded by repeatedly striking a keyboard with a stick instead of actually coding. The game is boring and repetitive and I have clocked over 200 hours on FM12 so this really pushes the boundaries of bad. This game has no redeeming qualities what so ever. In hindsight steam allows for any game to be published and this one just does not cut it. The whole thing is made worse by the simple fact that the idea is nice but fifa does it better and it's only a gimmick in that game rather than the core of it. There is just no standards by which this game is acceptable I would rather spend the same amount of money made in the RPG maker than on this god-awful waste of disk-space.
    I was horribly disappointing by lack of any interest or or fun moments but then again I pre-purchased SOTS2 so most likely I just have bad luck in game picks.
    All in all Save Your Money this game is not worth it and if you want a gimmick like the one this game provides get a fifa or fifa manager that provide this feature at a higher price but at least provide something more fun than smacking your head against a wall    … Expand

    I usually enjoy games like this, sports-RPG hybrids, but I can't really recommend New Star Soccer 5. The controls are confusing and the graphics are poor and the top-down view does not work too well for a soccer game.

    After my first game, the boss told me to tackle more, but with the control scheme, it seems impossible. Every time I try to press Z for tackle, my guy "calls" for the ball... something that he's only supposed to do if my teammate has the ball. Why is he calling for a ball when the opponent has possession?

    This game is rather disappointing. Score Hero on the Android is easier to use.    … Expand

    If you played NSS3 and liked it (or even if you didn't), don't buy this game. I loved NSS3 and I was hoping for a version with refined gameplay, more indepth attributes and more realism. Boy, was I wrong.

    Here is a list of some of the reasons why I don't like the game: - Gameplay: the player feels like gliding on ice. If you release the running button, your player just glides on.    If you played NSS3 and liked it (or even if you didn't), don't buy this game. I loved NSS3 and I was hoping for a version with refined gameplay, more indepth attributes and more realism. Boy, was I wrong.

    Here is a list of some of the reasons why I don't like the game:

    - Gameplay: the player feels like gliding on ice. If you release the running button, your player just glides on. This makes for frustrating moments when trying to move with precision. The camera keeps zooming in and out all the time. I had no issues controlling the player in NSS3 with great precision, but this feels just frustrating. What kind of soccer player can't stop running without continuing on for 3 meters?

    - AI: the players around you are total morons, no improvement at all. On the contrary, I feel they got even dumber. Very disappointing, but at least it somehow creates a balance with the horrible player control.

    - Simplified training system: less room for player progress, most of the training challenges are a joke. What is the target group? 5 year olds?

    - Graphics: no real progress, just a different skin. And not the good kind of different. Lacking atmosphere and charm. The online comparison, which seems to be the central part, since it's the home screen is useless for single player why make it the central point? Useless.

    My overall experience is, that the game feels bland. A big step back from NSS3, I wish I hadn't spent my money on it.    … Expand
