There's a lot of play modes in Sociable Soccer – no fear that too many modes will spoil things?I don't think so. It can seem quite complex, I suppose, but there's really three basic types of gameplay. There's single-player; "hot-seat" multiplayer, which is basically your old Sensi-style multiplayer with up to eight people around the same machine playing competitions; and then there's online multiplayer, which is the exciting bit. I'll get to that in a moment.In terms of the "hot-seat" multiplayer, there are friendlies, 30 different pre-set competitions including leagues from across the world, and cup competitions, obviously with mangled names (due to licensing). We've got about 200 national sides and 400 club sides, to begin with. There will be DIY tournaments for you to create your own cup or league, to accommodate as many player or AI teams as you want – pretty standard fare for anyone who played Sensible Soccer. You can edit your own, fun teams and all that stuff. That's all in there.New on VICE Sports: What Football Team Has the Best Youth Academy in Europe?
