The best players on the planet, exciting new developments in gameplay, years of experience in the dugout… It’s no wonder FC Mobile VN is top of the league when it comes to football games on iPhone and iPad.
Why it’s popular
EA Sports has been crafting and perfecting football games for decades, and it has more football superstars on its books than an entire legion of super agents. Selections aren’t limited to the current crop of talent, either, as you can call on past legends of the game to bolster your line-ups – everyone from ’60s and ’70s superstars like George Best and Gerd Müller to more recent retirees like Ronaldinho and Gareth Bale.
There are loads of ways to play, from the instant satisfaction of a quick VS Attack game to the ebb and flow of a full 90 minutes. And, like the beautiful game itself, FC Mobile VN is constantly evolving, with new modes being added regularly.
Most of all, though, FC Mobile VN is about capturing the magic of playing in front of a packed stadium, displaying the sort of other-worldly skills that mere non-footballing mortals can only dream of.
Getting started
The on-screen controls are so intuitive and easy to pick up that you can play a fun game without going to town on the pre-match preparation. If you really want to master your skills, however, you should try the tutorials – “hosted” by Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham – to get pointers on the finer points of the game.
There’s also plenty to learn about formations, tactics and in-game management; however much your talent shines on the pitch, your success will also depend on your ability to think like a great coach.
Did you know?
You can choose between two English language commentary teams for your matches. Will you opt for Guy Mowbray and Sue Smith or Derek Rae and Stewart Robson, or simply the glorious sound of the stadium crowd?
