looking for this game is what got me into older games and ultimately finding abandonia. enough said.

once you get the lead, i find its best to stop trying to score and use your fastest guy to just run around getting coins. it becomes easy with the transfers and a good CF, if hes really good you can just do a straight run.

the straight run
get the ball then just chrage straight into thier player, pass him the ball then tackle him and continue the same through the Mid and Keeper. it dosent work against really good teams. but with the first CF transfer he should be much better than the other teams players. i find it easier to do when scoring down field.

also throwing the ball so the keeper jumps, then tackling him as hes in the air was always a favorite way to score

Like many others here, I really LOVE this game! But I would like to try it out again, just for old times sake, but I just can't make it work. :help: I'm using DosBOX, which it should be compatible with, but when I try to run SB2.exe, nothing happens... The cursor just keeps blinking and that's it...

Anyone know what I can do to make it work? :tnx:

Shameless bump...

Aaaaamazing!

I haven't played this game for years which raises a question about my memory. I'm sure I used to play it using the arrow keys on the kepboard, rather than the Q/A/O/P combination that is used now.

As I am a little less dextrous than I was then, does anyone know how to amend the keyboard controls?

Cheers.

ah, yes, speedball 2. the quintessenctial classic. led to many a slagging match with my brother when i beat him 245-15! ah yes, the fights.....the graphics.....and the guy saying 'ice cream, ice cream!'

Fantastic game ....though .......q = backwards and a = forwards ....o = left and p= right ..........any way to change it to the basic asdw ??? set up ??

Does anyone know exactly how the injuries work, other than what the manual and FAQs say (which aren't very helpful)? If a player gets injured, do their stats ever go back up again, or do I have to resign myself to trading them after that, because they are basically useless? Thanks!

This is ust the best sportsgame ever made. I still love it and i really love to play every mod which could be just a bit like this game nowadays. WOuld really like to see a UnrealTournament Mod or somehting like that. Just imagine playing this game with friends in the internet.. *dreams*

Anyway, i HAVE TO download it now, it`s just one of the best games ever made imo...

This is an absolute classic. I have fond memories of the guy yelling "ice cream, ice cream"

The Amgia version was best by miles, the one they brought out for the playstation was awful.. just like the sensible soccer. It should have at least been 4 players, that would have made it so much better.

The futuristic violent basketball style sport game was done better though in a game called 'futureball' I think . . that was much more fun.
