[edit] Let's do it a bit more seriously.....

C'mon guys, a bit more profesional and objective! I really don't see the point in puting websites and events like "United Sensible Soccer Community" as sensiblesoccer.de (sic) and "Swos Dutch Open 2006" (?!) on the main section of the page.... Yossarian

I removed it. But the "trivia" section needs serious pruning. It contains far too much fan material. JIP | Talk 10:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title changed

I moved this article from Sensible Soccer to Sensible Soccer series per this request. If there's any trouble with that, please let me know. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kick Off Perspective

"it featured a zoomed-out bird's-eye view (most games until then such as Kick Off and Matchday used a closer top-down or side view)"

Could somebody explain this a bit in more detail? To me Kick Off and Sensible Soccer look pretty much identical in terms of perspective. -- Grumbel (talk) 23:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it referes to the fact that you see players and the field in different ways depending on the game:
  • Mathday and others: the camera has a side view, you see the whole players the same way you were at the side of the field
  • Kick Off: the camera is "flying" over the ball, you only see player's hair and shoulders (except when they fall on the field, then you see them whole).
  • Sensible: the camera is "flying" but not exactly over the ball, with a certain angle falling over a goal. That way you can see the whole players (a bit smaller than in reality because of the perspective).
I hope you understand me, my English isn't very good. Anyway try to see screenshoots of the games and compare them

I think it's just referring to the fact that Sensible Soccer's viewpoint is further out that Kick Off, with more of the pitch visible and smaller players. Miremare 14:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Acorn Archimedes

The game is categorized as a game for Archimedes, but there's no mention of any of the games being for it. Could anyone who knows fill in that bit of missing info or remove the category? --M.A. (talk) 13:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The version released on the Archimedes was titled Sensible Soccer: European Champions, and is apparently the same version as that released on the Mega Drive, both ported by Krisalis Software. I'm not sure exactly how these titles match up, so I'll let someone else add it to the list. Miremare 20:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
