Hi Team, Im trying to play with a competition pro joystick but the up/down mappings seem to be reversed. Tried using Joy2Key to fix but didnt seem to help. Any ideas pls? TIA
Why is PC download so restricted!! I cannot download! PLEASE give as download link.
hey guys, i was an avid fan of this game back when i was a kid. had it on the amiga and spent many an hour on it. id love to be able to play it again, how can i download it?
bonjour, Comment télécharger ce jeu pour PC et je n ai pas de facebook?
svp merci
How do I down load this game for pc
This game is sweet
hello again,
I noticed a couple of bugs :
- The .swf game doesn't work on Firefox but only in Chrome.
- Both the "extra training" and "take a break" buttons do nothing (no matter if it's running on windows, linux, flashplayer ...)
- It's impossible to use the keys "1" and "2" on Linux and Windows if one want to change the colors of the shirt color of the teams during a match. It works on Android and FlashPlayer though.
Bests, Fabrice.
swf game won't be update anymore because there's no more support from the browsers, intact actually you can play only on chrome
Also we're actually rewriting the game so all this small bugs won't be anymore on the upcoming version!
Great to know you are still working on it !!
When do you think it will be ready ?
Is there anyway to help ?
Hi, thanks a lot, to create this game. Its amazing i playes as child i dont know, a few 100 hours lol...... I have a small problem at this version, the penalty do not shot at the indicated arrow. Is this problem known? Is this only a problem with my joysteck? or can i shot the penalty with the keyboard? Best regards
HI, Thanks!!
Thanks for reporting the problem, we're currently rewriting and updating the game so this problem won't be anymore!
Where can i contact about minor trouble shooting issues?
Will post them here if ok as cant find a direct contact link.
1. when i start the game the window instantly goes in to the bottom right of my screen and if i go in to full screen F1 i still can only see the top left of the game screen. ( fixed this with compatibility mode)
2. when playing at 100% speed after 19 minutes of game time the game slows to a crawl (maybe 50%)
Im using Windows 10 and running the game through windows 8 compatibility mode. ( Not fixed but Managed to get a game to make it too 32 minutes before slow down using compatibility mode)
Thanks for any help,i played this to death in my youth and would love to be able to enjoy it again
hi Dan, we're facing some problem on windows 10, our suggestions are: update you graphic driver and/or use the portable version which works perfectly on every PC on a browser or with flash projector.
Hi. Firstly, let me say "WOW!!!" - This looks like a real labour of love and thanks for recreating this absolute classic. I have a question though, are you planning at any point in the future to make the Android version work with an external controller such as a MOGA wireless game pad or an xbox 360 like you can on dosbox or mame?
Also, is the 2016 update pack meant for Android and how is it installed.
Thanks again - this is the stuff the internet was made for - well done guys!!
Oh - one more question, why does my team play better when I watch them as opposed to just getting the result?
HI! Thanks a lot! :)
There's not a plan to introduce official support to wireless controller since our development software doesn't support them yet. Probably we'll have a support to those controller anytime soon.
The 2016 team update is for PC versions, latest android version has already the latest update. Soon we'll release an updated version with 2017 teams ;)
Your team should play the same on the each game speed: instant result, fast game, normal speed so it's quite strange to have better results watching the game.
Hello,
I'm not that tech savvy and need help incorporating the 2016 Teams & Players Database Update into the base game plz. Thanks BTW and keep up the good work!!
hi! The 2016 update is for PC version only, you just need to overwrite the files on the same directories
Hello,
Where are stored the saved game on Android, Linux and Windows ?
I want to share my saved game between all my computers.
Keep up the good work guys !
hi, you should find the saves on careers folder on windows/linux version. You can't share your android saves actiually but on the next version you'll be able to save everything on the cloud so it'll be available on all devices connected to internet ;) (you'll still able to save it locally)
Hi
I have a problem with the sound files on PC (silent). Windows 8.1.
Could you help me with that issue ?
NB: Thanks for the "joytokey trick". Works perfectly with a ComPro USB !
very strange, did u put the sound off? Try click "A" button. Nice the joytokey works for you! We also testing Antimicro to emulate joystick on keyboard key which is 100% open source https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro Probably we'll add it to the game!
Hello,
is there a way to play on Android (Samsung tab 4) with a gamepad ? I've xbox gamepad and others but i can't manage to play with. I hope you have a solution because i really want to play Kick off !
thanks
gamepad on Android are not supported, sorry, you can slow down the game speed and choose an easier ball control though.
Hi,
the game is amazing, thanks for putting the effort in making it!!
Is there a way to play the PC version with a joystick? Keyboard is not really the best for Kick-Off style playing.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!! :) It should already working with all joypads, you can try a software that let the joypad emulate the keyboard like: http://joytokey.net/en/
Been playing the SWF version but lose my saved games when Shockwave crashes - where is the saved data stored so I can copy it?? BOTH Mozilla and Chrome??
We just updated all versions to 1.1 so you should not have crashes anymore!
We're sorry for what happen but we recommend to use PC/mobile version if you want to start a long career as we don't know where exactly Flash is storing our saves.
There is no content when you click the WINDOWS Download option??
We just fixed this problem, if you still can't download Windows version try disable the popup blocker on this website.
This is an awesome remake / update of an all-time classic, fantastic job guys!
thanks CaptainD!! We tried to preserve the real spirit form the original game.
We also hope to release a kick Off spinoff soon so to arrange tournaments with Player Manager teams and tactics!
Keep in touch!
Do you mean true multiplayer? That would be awesome! (Though I would absolultely have to get a proper gamepad before facing anyone, playing on the keyboard is not the best :-D)
not a true multiplayer yet, first version of our upcoming football game will be inspired to Kick Off 2 Final Whistle & Return to Europe, so to arrange tournaments with teams & tactics created from Player Manager. So we'll be able to arrange tournaments with teams & tactics from multiple players.
it won't be possible to play together with a friend, it'll be a single-player only since it'll be a direct spinoff from our Player Manager game.
If you're going to buy a gamepad, better buy one with at least 2 buttons, otherwise there would be problems!
