I don't see a problem with a sports game being picked for this round, but what I do find odd is that this is the second Neo-Geo game, and it's made by Visco again. Visco isn't exactly known for making the most... um, stellar games (Neo Drift Out was their best IMO), and even worse, there's a lot of playback problems with Visco games in general on MARP.(posted 9020 days ago)Secondly, Goal Goal Goal isn't exactly a good simulation of soccer. :) There are so many screwy things with this game, I don't know where to start. When you make a pass to a teammate, the pass is practically guaranteed... if you move the receiver around you'll see the ball start to zigzag in the air, it's pretty funny. And of course, you can get away with shoulder tackles all the time, maybe 1 out of 50 times they'll call a Foul (which is always a surprise). And then the person fouled gets a Free Kick that is REALLY wimpy in power. And then there's the PK shootout (although none of us will get to do that in the tourney, thankfully), where there are 9 places to shoot, so the goalie has a 1 in 9 chance of blocking it... that's just not right. The list goes on and on...
