(You can play a match as the whole team or only as a player). * About every thing in the game is configurable via intuitive menus. * Game Tactics and tactic editor. * Heading and other special shots with intuitive controls. * Team players (with individual stats) and team editor (the editor is actually available only for AmigaOS). * Import SWOS teams. * Arcade-like actions for "arcade mode" (powerups, bonuses... something like speedball II). * Replays (with load/save option). * Spoken comment (actually broken). # Eat The Whistle it's probably one the most configurable soccer game written, it has tons of options, here are some examples (click here for a picture that shows one of the configuration menus): * you can play it with Joystick, two-button joystick, joypad or keyboard (two different, and configurable keyboard control methods), the joypad control is very similar to the Playstation's ISSPro one. * There are 8 different pitch types and 7 different pitch conditions, the pitch condition modify the aspect of the field! You can play on a wet field or on a snow covered one, in this case the players will wear gloves ! * You can choose the daytime of the match, if the match is played in the evening the players have 4 shadows. * You can choose screenmode (example hires picture), radar size, if you want to see always the match result or the active player name... * You can play friendly matches, cups, leagues, world cups (picture) , training, penalties, free kicks. * There is a great Arcade Mode with two different pitches that seem an arena and with 11 custom "arcade teams" (picture)(one is the secret one) and you can do a challenge similar to a beat'em'up with the gameplay that is mix between speedball and a soccer game!
