5 Tips to Pick the Best Soccer Game App

Soccer is easily the most popular game in the world. The obsession with it stretches from Australia to Iceland and from Japan to Mexico. Some love playing it, others enjoy watching it on TV, all while an increasing number of die-hard fans are discovering the pleasure of playing soccer-themed games on their smartphones. But how does one go about picking the right app to do this? With our advice, you can be sure it will be easy!

If you wish to find a game that is of genuinely good quality and have the largest fan base you can share your obsession with - then opt for an app that is used by millions already. Most genuinely popular apps out there have been thoroughly tried and tested, and their wide-spread use alone should vouch for their quality.

SpeedPlay World Soccer, Actua Soccer, Pro Evolution Soccer and International Superstar Soccer are just some of the options out there. To these we may add Sensible World of Soccer, Penalty Shooters, Puppet Soccer, and Poki. Goalkeeper Premier (more focused on the goalkeeper role, as the name implies) and Premier Manager (the ultimate Premier League football manager) are more niche in their purpose but just as fun.

If you want to choose from the best of the best, focus on those that have the highest number of downloads and you won't go wrong.

No different from football games, soccer too is known for its elaborate tournaments, high profile players and the exciting atmosphere that the whole thing brings about every year. Needless to say, there are plenty of apps that cover this niche and allow the player to indulge in their fantasy team-making.

If your aim is to focus on one specific league, then by all means download an app that specialises in it. With a familiar environment and players you know and love, you will thoroughly enjoy your experience, regardless of whether you opt for an app devoted to FIFA 18, FIFA 19, World Cup or the Premier League.

If you like a hands-on, arcade game type of experience, then be sure to focus on soccer games that offer this experience, If, on the other hand, you prefer the managerial role and enjoy the logistics behind the game, look for a soccer manager app.

Some prefer to play on their PC or PS4, in the comfort of their own home, while others want to have their video games (be they soccer, arcade, shooter or baseball) with them at all times, using their Android or iOS smartphones as their main gaming platforms.

If you too have a preference and wish for the best soccer gaming experience on your favourite device, be sure to narrow down your search to exclude all options that are not compatible with your platform.

Did you ever wish you could start a game on your smartphone and then continue on your laptop? That too is possible! If you want to have such a comfortable experience, be sure to get an app that will allow you to play on all of your devices, while keeping data of your moves and scores so that you can continue where you left off the next time you play.

For optimum performance and having all the features unblocked, be sure to consider the size of your screen and how it may display all that the game has to offer. If you can get a free app that does all that - even better!

Soccer games come in a variety of shapes and sizes. It is only your preferences that put a limit on what you can do with them. If you are into good old arcade football, you may even choose an app that emulates one of the consoles from your childhood and allow you to take a trip down memory lane.

For a more modern video game experience, there is an endless number of options. If you are action-oriented, then look for an app that lets you play with as little technical hassle as possible. Select your team and let the ball hit the grass!

If, on the other hand, you are more into the inner workings of the team and the logistic aspect of the game, then you are best advised to pick one of the soccer manager games and allow your inner strategic genius to take over.

Different styles of play are covered by an endless array of apps out there and it is up to you to decide which works best and lets you have the most fun. If Brazilian is your preference, or if European kind of playing best suits you, choose an app devoted to one of their leagues. And if you ever need a break from soccer - try a multiplayer cars racing game, or even strike some cricket or golf!

A certain bit of nostalgia can take over when we remember all the good games that we used to watch and all the great video games we used to play. The good news is, reliving that moment is by no means outside of the realm of possibilities. In fact, it can be right at your fingertips!

If there is a specific older season you wish to revisit, be sure to include the year or the name of the tournament in your search. Soccer games from 2018, 2019 or even 2016 and beyond tend to be available for a long time and some enthusiastic developers have even devoted their time to recreating old classics from Sega Genesis and PS1 for your smartphone.

Basketball, baseball and football games too are all within reach - sometimes several decades into the past. Soccer, being the most popular, is sure to offer the widest array of games, leagues and styles of play to chose from. If your dream is to relive that phenomenal time when all your favourite teams had all the best players, type in the name of the game, the year, and let the virtual time machine take you there.
