Before EA Sports made it a standard since FIFA 96, it wasn't very common to see footy games with real player names.

How many pre-FIFA 96 footy games can you remember which had real player names? I can only think of Sensible Soccer.

World Cup USA 94 was officially licensed, to the point of even having that world cup's mascot, but strangely enough, all their player names were fake.

I hated the image based menus in this thing that were impossible to get around, but what I hated more was the gameplay, World Cup Italia '90 on the Master System played better football by far.

Image based menus have always sucked and unfortunately they are way too common in football games.
Lots of european games had them to avoid having to manually translate the games into multiple languages. It was not an artistic or stylistic choice, the devs knew it sucked but had to add them anyway.
One of the biggest red flags for jank

I love Sensi, had a lot of fun playing it with my dad and grandpa. The perfect soccer game, they don’t make gems like that nowadays.

Sensible Soccer is unique in that the ball is not tied to your feet, you actually push it around and so can easily lose it, even without rival interference. I know of no other soccer that uses that system.

I loved that film so much.
Also, yes those menus were a pain, often a red flag, a shame so many football video games had them back then.

>>10743665
Nice! Any pictures?
I know that it's far from the most sophisticated or fun take on the sport, but I really loved to play this one, and still replay it from time to time.

That game also had the official championship logo, the championship's mascot but player names were fake.

I wonder how much economic difference there was between having the championshio license vs player names.
