Please, no. Let it play more arcadey like ISSS. I stopped playing PES/FIFA because they became too complicated.

Don't understand the popularity of anime soccer series but people like it for some reason.

I used to watch the anime every morning before school. The trailer looked pretty good, definitely on my radar now.

Hehe. One of my GOAT games. Even my phone's ringtone is from this game; Kojiro Hyuga's Theme.

Arcade style sports games are so rare these days, especially football or tennis ones, so yes bring it on.
Yeah that's what I'm looking for. I used to really like ISS before it became Pro Evo and they started taking the realistic approach. There haven't been arcade style football games for some time.

Currently Tsubasa plays for Barcelona, Hyuga is in Juventus but loaned to other club.
It is literally responsible for shitload of really huge football stars playing football at all. Tsubasa is probably more known in the world than any other anime including pokemon.
To understand it you just need to watch first season which had that amazing OP not beaten by anything until now:
For real this time. It is just really good anime with amazing cast of characters that grow with viewer. Tsubasa starts as this really talented kid and then he gets really nasty injury which hounts him for rest of his carrier. He has arch nemesis in Hyuga who doesn't find football fun but he uses it as playfield to show everyone how he is the best which was almost beaten into him by his abusive father. In any normal anime those guys would be enemies for rest of show but in Tsubasa they become friends and play together, then comes other people.
It is not really show about footbal but about characters in it and close group of friends who get to know each other by football. It is really timeless anime for all ages. Though later seasons go into DBZ territory which is why people say first few seasons are the best.
Also it perfected DBZ fights before DBZ was invented. It could take 4-5 eps just for one half of match to pass.

ISS is fine, too. I just don't want it to be rpg-soccer game like Inazuma where you can't actually shoot, pass, flank, etc like in 'real' soccer games.

The data indicates it has a good following in SA, a decent audience in some of the EU, and a cult in Japan.
I'm sure it's a nice series but it doesn't seem to be much of an anime, then again if we are looking at places like SA, who had very few shows back in the day, i can see why this blew up since they didn't have much in the way of cartoons or anime back then, so something like this would have stood out.

Childhood nostalgia. I remember watching it every morning before school and discussing the episode with friends was the most hype thing till fucking Goku turned SSJ and blew our years old minds.

We don't even have a Hunter X Hunter-game.
And nobody bothered making a Neon Genesis Evangelion game for PS4.
Heck, imagine how awesome a Fullmetal Alchemist game by CyberConnect2 would look like.
This industry is very weird sometimes.
PS: The best sailor moon adaptations are made by Kuroinu. NSFW in case you google

It blew up in every single place where soccer is popular.
It's basically a shounen like DB except with sports.
You have goalkeepers training by blocking rocks, breaking their hands and their shoulders during a game, people stepping on them and almost bleeding them to death with spikes, guys using their legs like a bow to shoot dragons on goal, guys who kick the ball with a spin like a bullet to hurt whoever is in the way, and then stuff like
It's no different than Dragon Ball really, they start "sort of" normal and they end up throwing fireballs at each other all the time.
American football had something like this, Eyeshield 21, practically every single sport had something in the same vein. Golf, table tennis, boxing, judo, swimming, rugby, volleyball etc.
There's more realistic anime takes on the sport, but people love Tsubasa because it's so bullshit.

It definitely was more popular in some areas than others. I can give you that.
However, I've tried some games and the show and I just don't see the appeal but I also am in the US where there were so many different popular shows that would overshadow something like this so I get the nostalgia appeal for those who only had the show stand out.
Although I have no comment on the show, the games I've tried aren't exactly stellar.

You just stole 6 minutes of my life. Had to watch the whole video, even though I know it to death.
Tsubasa basically is a Dragon Ball-spin off. "What if ... Son-Goku got reborn as a human and played soccer?"

Mostly because they are catering to Latin American market, where this anime is legendary.
I hope Bamco uses their brains and pay for the proper Latin American Spanish dub (its omission on DB:Kakarot is totally stupid)

So true
Again ... i dislike football but the nostalgia factor is hype me... and here in mexico we know the series as "los supercampeones" so im in the list to this game.

Nah. It's really popular there. Football (Soccer) is the #1 sport there and there are always kids playing football on the streets everywhere. So you can imagine how big a football cartoon like this would be for kids in the 80s and 90s.
Anime was popular there in general anyway.

Holy shit, I just realized this was the anime I'd watch in Spain when I was 9/10. I always woke up to watch Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. I'd catch this all the time. Always referred to it as "that anime that was about soccer/futbol and there were special moves and stuff", lol. This is awesome! Cool to see they're giving it a shot in the states as well! Holy crap nostalgia.

Ah. I think I've played it either in 90 or 91
Argentina's theme is another of my favs too:
