If Frontier made a Football game...

What would it be like?

Realistic physics.
Realistic crowds
Realistic economic model.
A skills based player system where you are required to train your player by doing repetitive tasks lol.
Purchase of online player kit skins and real merchandise.
Stadium creator.
Procedurally generated grass.

It would have Engineers with RNG for creating new performance enhancing drugs for the players.:)
 
It would be a highly realistic recreation of the stadium, the crowds, the movement mechanics and ball motion, with great player animations, and a good control interface. There would also be a detailed backstory about the players, clubs and world events.

But they would decide not to have goal posts because "all the other football games do that and we're making the game we want to play", so the players would just end up running around kicking the ball endlessly for no reason. The high point of the game would be taking action photos of great kicks and posting them on the forum.

The first DLC would be "Football Club Power Tycoon", a Risk-like game that had nothing to do with the rest of the game.
The second DLC would be "KQK" (ie Kicking Queue Krazy), a game of competitive kicking that had nothing to do with the rest of the game.

:p

Instanced pitch. Players can only jump into a very specific spot in the penalty box, they can't simply run there. What happens in mid-field, stays in mid-field, it has no impact on what happens elsewhere.
_
No offsides, outs, corners, or penalties for any AI opposition. Also, 'blink' ability for all AI opposition.
_
In PvP matches, any one side can leave the pitch at any time and the match is an automatic tie regardless of previous score, ball possession, or, well, anything really.
_
To advance in a tournament, a team has to score at least quarter a million goals to be considered.
_
The referee will sometimes stop the clock and only resume when someone from the audience finds a leaf of grass the referee has painted greener than others and decrypts a message hidden in it. It is of course permitted for the match to continue during the stoppage.
 
(I'm assuming football means soccer, because american football does not exist)

So basically, you spawn on a soccer field that's rendered with exquisite detail. You look at the spectators and notice that there's a lot of similar-looking faces there, but overall it's still a stunning achievement. You don't see any other players though. Then you kick the ball and as you run after it, you see other people suddenly appear around you. You realize that there's thousands of players with you on that football field, of which you can only see a dozen at a time. They are all having their own ball kicking and running after it.

You come to a goal and shoot the ball in its direction. You score. However, the goal count doesn't advance, your ball respawns at the center of the field, and you have to run all the way back there to get it. You realize that you're supposed to keep scoring goals as many times as possible. Not only that, but everyone has to do that, even the players you can't see even though they are on the same football field with you. Then as some threshold of a few hundred thousand goals is reached, the goal counter increments by one.

You find little bits of leather and string which you can collect. A sewing specialist on the side of the field is able to take these scraps, once you have collected enough of them, to make you a new soccer shoe that allows you to run 4% faster, but at the cost of driving a nail into your big toe.

Still it's an amazing stadium and the football physics are the best.

It would have 4 billion procedurally generated football stadiums but they would all look the same. And goals made in the game would be based on RNG, for the sake of "challenge". :p
 
You would click a button called "ball Transfer" and the ball would instantly appear in the opposing teams net so you could quickly kick it and score a goal, as this is clearly more "fun" than kicking it around the pitch, making it obvious that the pitch is now redundant and pointless.
 
You start as a Kit person cleaning the other players boots. You have a rnd (6) chance of progressing after 3months of doing repeated football drills.

There is a online store where you can purchase kits (skins) for your players for real money. As well as actual 'kits' that you can wear. Also 'trophies' any thing infact as long as it doesn't give an you advantage in the game.

You can be a Player a Manager a commentator a spectator or a football hooligan.

As you progress you gain a Waifu Wag.

It will be played from a first person perspective only. Eventually a 3rd person view would be allowed but only to allow players to see the kits the had bought.

Planet Football Coming Soon...

It would have a team called the Smelly Dingo Crew United which instead of playing football all they'd be doing is murdering the other team.

Lasers would start shooting from the goalposts, and when they ran out of the stadium and back in again, the referee would have instant amnesia and the team's red card would magically turn to a yellow.

As an opposing player is running towards the goal, a Dingo player with a broken arm would barge into them and the opposing player would get the blame for the injury and receive a penalty and a red card.

Dingo players would wait inside the goal and then launch an RPG at an opposing team member, who would then be sent off the pitch. The Dingo member would receive a red card and a penalty, but again all they need to do is rejoin the game and do the same again.

Dingo players would trip up spectators and murder them with no repercussions.

If you meant a football 'game' as a one-off, like a match - It would be full of own goals, naturally.

Sol v Adema?

Let me explain:

Stade Olympique de L'Emyrne were going places. Having won their first Madagascan league title in 2001, the team from Antananarivo shocked the entire continent by advancing to the second round of the African Champions League. First they beat Olympique de Moka of Mauritius in an "island derby" preliminary tie (twice postponed by political unrest in Madagascar). They then knocked out highly regarded Petro Atlético of Angola in the first round proper on penalties, after being forced to play a one-leg away tie due to the continuing civil unrest at home.


Although they failed to reach the group stages of the competition, going down bravely 3-2 on aggregate to Costa do Sol of Mozambique, they were still in the hunt to retain their Madagascan title. The Malagasy league reached its denouement with a four-team, 11-day round-robin play-off between SOL, AS Adema, US Ambohidratrimo and Domoina Soavina Atsimondrano.


SOL needed to win their penultimate match against DSA to have any chance of pipping Adema, whom they faced in the final round of matches. But SOL were held to a 2-2 draw, the referee awarding DSA a controversial late penalty which was converted, denying SOL a chance of the title. So when SOL faced Adema, and an early decision went against them, their manager Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka ordered his team to score some own goals in protest – which they did, 149 of them. Adema did not touch the ball for the rest of the game.


Ratsarazaka was suspended from football for three years, and banned from even attending matches during that time, while four of his players were suspended until the end of the season. Arbroath's famous 36-0 record was no longer intact – but at least Bon Accord were trying.

All the people in the first few rows of the crowd are modelled perfectly, and it's breathtaking when the camera zooms back and you can see that the depiction of the crowd is highly accurate.


Then you kick the ball and as you run after it, you see other people suddenly appear around you. You realize that there's thousands of players with you on that football field, of which you can only see a dozen at a time. They are all having their own ball kicking and running after it.
The score shows millions of goals and you get the feeling that whatever you do on the pitch isn't going to have that much effect on the outcome of the game.

The pitch is miles long. Frontier says it's to give the player a feeling of the immensity of the playing field.

When you eventually reach the goal you can enable a magic mode that makes all the defenders disappear.

It would be rubbish, the same as every football game ever released, because:

a) sports games are always rubbish
b) soccerball is the least interesting sport ever invented

Awesome game

There would be no ball, you'd need to look for it for ever by solving cryptic clues on sticky notes placed on some of the 4 billion spectator seats which all look same....but with brilliant detail

While you search you can trim the lawn, you can use mowers, clippers, razors, or even a pocket knife, but you can also group up and mow together with your friends, sometimes there will be pirates though that will try and steal your grass clippings.....

As a bonus you can sell the grass, or sell the smoking kind on a black market so that you can get a bigger mower, or maybe a stick with a nail in it from a seedy bald mechanic so that you can chase those pesky rogue mowers away.
