Missing Power Soccer

Badge image
I completely loved this game. Think manager zone is great to and very happy to see that it has not also left us. As they seem to have made the software compatible with MAC/PC maybe that would attract more the to fanbase. I always felt the lack of player base was maybe down to the game not being pushed enough on social media platforms (e.g. youtube). Would love to hear your thoughts on this though? X

Just curious, what's your PS username?

Re: Missing Power Soccer

Yeah PS was a lot of fun, very intuitive in its' simpleness. Other... ahem... football action games may look nicer but PS was always a joy for the fingers.

I was one of the famous managers there, stuck on level 0 no matter how many games I was playing.

It was fun to beat level 20+ with level 0. It was impossible to beat them after a certain level though.

Kinda fun.

Powdersnow! I used to remember seeing a couple sweet freekicks you had on top goals back in the day when you could pull off the most outrageous curl on them.

Were you a part of the management team of the game? Or just a leader of the social community?

I always like the engine and the graphic style of the players and unlike any other football game you could fully personalise your team. I would always make all the names of my players the names of my football team at school I played in!

Wish there was a way to bring this game back as it was such a feature of my childhood. Someone needs to start a kickstarter page or something to get it going again!

Think I used to be called nebblemann like I am on here but cannot remember for the life of me. I had a few accounts that I made when I wanted to start from scratch and fall in love with a whole new set of players with different styles of play

PS started out as a lot of fun, hit its peak for me in 2012 when they made their first major tweak of the engine. Then in 2013 it really started going downhill with the Pay2Win format (it went from 2 free games a day to CM only) which lost a lot of its userbase. I understand it from a business PoV, but as a player with no money of CM, it was a lost cause for me.

Towards the end it went free again, but by then tracking the ball was a pain. Latency meant the ball would go everywhere around the player, main gaining possession almost impossible.

My favourite memories have to be the goalkeeper glitches when you shot from long distance. From kickoff the goalkeeper for a time would run off the line allowing you to chip him with a high ball, and then on free-kicks when the goalkeeper would shield the ball with his arms, allowing for it to bounce off the post and in.

Fond memories, I do somewhere on a CD have some recordings of goals burned onto them. Cannot find it for the life of me, but some real blasters on there.

Or the another bug, when you did a long shoot into the goalbox, while pressing on spacebar to make the gk impossible to catch the ball. :)

Man I used to fear you back then, always remembered your user name coloured in Red, everyone was like "Don't F*** with a crew member". You don't happen to remember when we faced off and you trashed me in a tournament (because I was new to the game)username:IkerCasillas7

Re: Missing Power Soccer

I used to play this game when I was younger.
Me and the boys would hop on the computer and compete to be the best.
I didn't play it in a while once it died out in my school, I kinda forgot about it until few months ago and I'm sad it had to see it go.

Hehe, but most of the times when you faced me you probably had no idea it was me since I liked to go incognito with a standard account (just so people would play their normal game against me). Unfortunately I don't remember you, but I must have played 20-30 000 matches or so over the years working with that game, which explains why I became pretty good I guess 😎. Even towards the end I still quite enjoyed it.

Hello Buddy, I have a question related PS. Do you still have all the files and data belong to PS? I mean, are you able to bring PS back if you could? Just interested.

Hey man, think thats a bit harsh. The two games are run by the same company so where else would be better than to talk about a game that is no longer on a site where we will have the most interaction with others who also miss it.

Oh man Power Soccer...
Getting home from school logging on my computer and heading straight to it, god, how i miss those days!
I'm still sad i wasn't there for it's final days... if i could change it, i undoubtly would.
In my opinion, Power Soccer had a lot of potential, for instance, being on Miniclip was a huge advantage for the game! And maybe some advertising would be a good idea, and not only those pop-up ads on sites (these tend to be ignored), but on YouTube too.

They probably just keep it because they worked very hard on it, and can keep it as a keepsake of sorts

I do miss the game a lot... unfortunately though, PS was built using technologies that are now considered to be obsolete, and won't be able to run on modern browsers even if they wanted to. Even the plugin used for the chatrooms (Flash) will have and end-of-life next year

Good afternoon

I am an old Power soccer user

Out of curiosity I came to this forum thread, realizing that they were talking about POWER SOCCER.

The meaning of this topic is that I have the option of reopening POWER SOCCER as quickly as possible with everything that it understands, I have all the data, the money, the software. etc

but I need a client with more information about the subject

for example a crew, reading this trhead I realize that I know several users such as gamer009, nicolito909,
Powdersnow among others somehow came to remember them.

In power soccer I played with several accounts such as _shuk_ stam17tom karm-v. You may remind me with any of these accounts to reach some type of negotiation

since it is about a new artificial intelligence project called new artificial intelligence. I need information or a client that will help me to take out this project that is already created from 2017 onwards.

POWER SOCCER is the game to train that smart program.

I also have beautiful memories and I would like to play again

Thank you!

Unfortunatly, i know nothing about AI, but if there's anything else i can help with, i'd be more than glad to!
As for the client, i suggest you look for programmer groups on social media.

How we all wish that this brilliant game could be resurrected!

I suppose all we could do is to cherish and reminisce the game as well as the connections we made within the game.
Not gonna lie, I do still visit http://powersoccer.com/ once in a while, and also our FB community group!

Stay safe wherever you are everyone!

The potential this game had is tremendous and I think especially in these times it has incredible potential. Gaming has done significantly better during lockdown than other industries. If Power Soccer was available, they would make serious money and people will play it.

What we can do is a social media campaign. I'm an editor of Troll Football which has over 1M likes on Facebook. If someone has else has big social media reach, we can coordinate something like #bringbackPS and urge them to bring it back.

Let's be real though, bringing the game back is just not feasible. The main reason is that NPAPI plugins were phased out in every major browser, which means that the Crew would have to spend time and money in converting it to some other format, which is a complicated task and is almost certainly not gonna pay off.

I love PS as much as you do and enjoyed it a lot, but it's better not to get false expectations.
