Don't know why I never tried this game before. Its like crack. I won't buy the full career unlock till after work on Friday for the fear of loss of productivity. ;P

Just got the game today and its amazing. I can't put it down. Is there anything similar to this in the App Store?

Nope, nothing quite like it. You can always try the full NSS5 on your desktop, but on your mobile, if you're looking for byte-sized, addictive football, NSS is the way to go.

Is there still no way to try career mode before buying? I was less than inpressed w/career mode in the Flash version.

I dl'd this today, it let me play 10 matches in career mode before buying the full career.

I then paid the $.99 for it, good game for work.

Oh, so I guess it has changed. It used to only include arcade mode, IIRC. The flash version was a poor introduction, since it was obviously designed for touchscreens. The flash version has an aspect ratio similar to a smartphone, but kicking the ball or passing is floaty with a mouse cursor.

I'll have to reinstall and give it another go.

Ok...the controls are a bazillion times better on the iphone. The only thing holding me back a bit is the energy->cash management. I'm worried I'll completely screw myself over through poor decision making, and I won't but any iaps except for the unlock.

You can't really screw yourself over in a permanent way. The worst you can do is retard your progress by buying nothing but consumables and failing constantly. If you train and play reasonably well--both of which are dependent principally on your skills--then you're going to move up, even if it's slowly. At the very least, you'll always get more money from playing. You'll never need to spend a dime on IAP beyond the career mode unlock.
