Do you miss Ultimate Soccer Manager '98? Have you been looking for a great game with all of those features, a game that's immersive and gives you total control of your club? So have I. But I've stopped looking...
BECAUSE SOCCER BOSS IS IT!!!!!!!
No unnecessary twaddle -- no cute prelude animations in which you have to meet every person on the staff one by one. If someone needs to tell you something, you get an e-mail.
Close to EVERYTHING is statted out for you. All players have a large number of ratings so you can make informed decisions, and the interface is so clean (and colorful) that you DON'T get swamped by the stats. Matches are top-down and easy to follow, with NO annoying repetitive play-by-play, allowing me to do the annoying repetitive play-by-play announcing myself. (You can even skip the match play and just get the results if you wish.)
The game is close to perfect. One caveat -- if you have never played a statistical soccer sim before, this is NOT your starting point. While there is some guidance in the form of a *very* limited tutorial, there is no documentation.
One thing that might be a turn-off to some is that all of the players are fictional. I did NOT find this to be an impediment; believe it or not, it makes the game more realistic. In some other soccer sims, you'll right away look to acquire Pele, Maradona, Beckham, Messi, etc., because you already know who the great players are. In Soccer Boss you'll need to figure out not only who the greats *are* but which players may *become* greats (Soccer Boss has a stat for training potential to help you find the young players who are worth the time/money investment).
To reiterate, if you're looking for the replacement for Ultimate Soccer Manager '98, THIS IS IT!!!
10/10
ADDENDUM: The programmer, sadly, has passed away. The only thing that's missing in Soccer Boss is the ability to make small tactical position changes, that is, to instruct a player to play slightly back or slightly to the center of the pitch, etc. That can't be added now, but this is still an OUTSTANDING game regardless.
