“World of Soccer, the successor to Netsoccer and Netsoccer 2, brings you an unmatched experience in virtual football. It allows you to play the sport we all love in a way that most games do not let you. It removes the…”
“I already made a video with me playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzBkHF_oCZo I played this game since 2010, called before Netsoccer 2. This game is like Netsoccer 3 for me. And i must say... IT'S BETTER THAN FIFA…”

“Very fun for groups of friends to play together even if they are miles away. Main issue is the client-server lag, which could just be fixed with more servers, idk. Another issue is the AI. They will pass to anyone even…”

“Glad it's back but still could be great to have some improvements/new features such as fouls, cards, free kicks and more customization etc. This game is fun to play but needs to attract more players.”

— a player, Steam review · 31 hrs played“Note: This game could not be played for several years because the servers went offline. There are a lot of reviews saying that the game doesn't work etc. The game is now back online, so you can ignore them. I am somewhat wary of recommending this game, because truth be told, if…”
— a player, Steam review · 1,103 hrs played“OK encouraged to review this again as it's now back. Trouble is it's just a complete lack of gameplay.
