About This Game


Tactical Soccer The New Season is a turn-based soccer simulation.

Control all 11 players at the same time - instead of shouting at your left back to ‘get forward’ you control them and can build up an attack exactly how you want. You are the coach and have real control of the team.

The gameplay is simple. When it's your turn, select a player and decide where they should move; or perhaps prepare them to head the ball. If they have the ball, you can pass, shoot or dribble. Once you've instructed your players, press ‘end turn’ and watch them carry out your orders. The computer controlled team then plays. Play continues like this until the match ends.


The game is played on a 3D pitch (not a tiled board), so you can move the camera to line up that perfect pass or watch as your speedy winger manages to just out run the opposition's tiring defender.

Players have different abilities - speed, dribbling, tackling, passing, shooting, stamina etc. Use your tactical skills to maximise the strengths of your players to defeat the opposition. When defending, you have to be positionally aware and block the opposition's runs with your players.

About the developer

Back in 2002 I released Tactical Soccer on the Internet. Jump a decade or more and I thought it would be nice to update Tactical Soccer for the current generation of PCs hence the title Tactical Soccer - The New Season. So I got together with an artist friend and this is the result. It's virtually a total overhaul of the game plus I've been able to add in several features to the game to make it easier and quicker for the player to get the team to carry out their tactics.

It's hard to say if I like this game a lot. I designed an actual turn based soccer game so when I saw this I was interested. I have played a few matches on various accounts and machines. Here is what I do like: turn based. ive always liked turn based. graphics arent too bad its pretty simple to play heres what i dont like: - in spite of having options like headers, etc. I still havent found a use for them. this is basically a run dribble run shoot kinda game - and shooting is if you get lucky. -takes a long time to play. If i was playing a season, id be dead before i ever finished. - player models are wonky and out dated - after a bit, the game play is kind of limited...you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again... what i might change (and perhaps this exists and i just havent found em yet): - maybe allow for two passes in some instances - designate movement zones for run and jog (which affects fatigue) - update the graphics some - update the mechanics a bi...

3.1 in game hours and I completed one match, no joke! I thought maybe people were kidding when they said finishing a season in this game would be impossible, now I see it. This is a game with a good idea gone horribly awful. The grind, the slowness. Yes you could get a match done faster if you use the AI, but trust me, you don't want to use the AI. Thing is, there is already a fun turn based football game out there, it is called Football Tactics. Football Tactics is the game that is my comparison for this one, but there is no real way to compare them since Tactical "Soccer" is just awful. The game isn't very tactical, you just get close enough to aim for the lower left corner and money. Headers do nothing and you cannot receive a pass and move, not even a little, not even to turn your back to the defender who gets their turn right after you get the ball. Can I say anything good about this game? Ummm, it looks nice? Yep, the graphics don't suck for what it is.

This is not a good game. Its UI is not very intuitive and need to refine a lot of in game mechanics (for example you can make goals every time you take the ball at half-court)

I do not mean to offend the developer with this review. I highly respect his previous works and believe he is more talented than this game suggests. But to be perfectly honest, I only bought this because I felt guilty about not having a way to pay Edward Grabowski for Grand Prix World/Manager 2. I wouldn't call this a terrible game, and in fact I love the concept of it, but it's lacking. Specific problems include unprofessional menus/UI, overly fiddly camera options, and sub-par AI. If the price drops to 99 cents again, try it if you must, but don't expect anything too great. You might want to give Football Tactics & Glory a look instead.

Not done much with it yet, but bought it in the sale feeling at the price there was little to lose. I was surprised at the decent graphics, I wouldn't have been put out if I had paid full price. It obviously comes from a small developer, but I feel they have done a good job at a fair price, it's sad that it has had so many negative reviews. I have some expensive games that I am less than pleased with, so thanks to the developers of Tactical Soccer for a fair deal. It even has a PDF manual so I don't have to scour the Internet finding how to play it, plus decent built in tutorials, great stuff
