The new update is just great. I am playing the career mode in year four now and I play with my favourite soccer club (Bayern Munich). Longest goal is almost 50 meters.
Let's hope that the issue with the app store will be fixed as soon as possible. Can't wait for the new update! I'm so addicted to this game. Even my girlfriend was totally hooked after 1 match. She's playing it all the time on PC now, since she can't buy it for her android phone.
Well the update 1.16 was out again yesterday, updated, but it seems to be gone again, so I guess the IAP issue wasn't fixed yet.
FINALLY!!! Heres the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/new-star-soccer/id498973162?ls=1&mt=8 //Edit: Can't play career mode.. "Monkey Error - Monkey Runtime Error: Memory access violation". I restarted my 3GS with iOS 5.1.1 already. Even a new career isn't working. But Arcade Mode is working well. Meh, seems like I have to switch to the old version
Wow. So frustrating. I purchased this a while ago. And thanks to these forums, I don't update right away. So I'm still on an old, old version. Read that they capped energy drinks and made the best boots only available by IAP. Man, hope they stop putting in these terrible ideas on top of all of the other errors. Soon, the game will have to be all free for anyone to want to download it. I won't be updating because I paid for career and weather packs and I don't want to get this career ending money error people are talking about!
It appears those IAP only boots are new boots, you can still get the old "best" ones with your in game money as well as a few other pairs of boots that are new. My carrer mode is working fine on an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1.1 so far.
I can't seem to get this game into silent mode, when I switch the button on the side of my iPhone the game still has sound. This problem only happens with this game, any ideas?
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.
