SSC 22 (Super Soccer Champs) brings back the golden era of football gaming. Inspired by titles like Sensible Soccer, it focuses on fast gameplay, simple controls, and deep management. With a full world of soccer to explore, including various leagues and tournaments, it’s the perfect blend of arcade fun and simulation depth.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

SSC 22 is a love letter to the era of 'Sensible Soccer' and 'Kick Off.' For players who find modern FIFA or eFootball titles too bloated with controls, this is the perfect antidote. It’s all about the 'feel' of the ball; the way it zips across the pitch and the intuitive nature of the top-down perspective makes every match feel fast and exciting.

The depth is surprisingly high for a retro-styled game. The Manager Mode is addictive, tasking you with bringing a lower-league team to global glory. The pixel art is charming and clean, ensuring that you never lose track of the action even on smaller screens. It hits that sweet spot of being easy to pick up but possessing a high skill ceiling—especially when mastering the curl on shots. It’s easily one of the best arcade sports games on the App Store.

Great game overall, but just one suggestion
Thu Nov 04 2021 CrAiG____m

This game is, on the whole, very fun to play when you do not have internet or on a road trip (unless you’re driving) but just a few things, maybe. I prefer my game settings to be sunny weather, 3 minute halves and game speed realistic, but when I setup a game, I have to watch an ad to be able to change it back. And like i said earlier, one is not always going to be able to be online to watch said ad. I would really like it if one could be able to set a certain game length and weather type, which I can’t right now. Also the Leicester home and away kits are the exact same, so if they are playing away and their kit clashes with the other team’s strip, the home team changes, which is simply nonsense in real life. What team has the exact same home and away kit? Maybe make their away kits white like their current ones? Still five stars though

Thank you

Love the new updates, the cpu seems much smarter and the tactics seem more challenging to figure out which I like. At the same time I do see some bugs where my defender will stop/pause sometimes whens theres a goal scoring opportunity for the other team, it also sometimes makes my defender go in the opposite direction when trying to mark a player. Also when on offense it sometimes does not let me dribble the ball fluently, it will either pause my player or slow him down to let the defender catch up. Also the shooting has gotten too easy and automated, it takes away from the fun of doing your own creative shots. Before the updates it was perfect. Please make these fixes, did not see these problems before the latest update

Wonderful but a few suggestions

The game is a masterpiece only topped by Flying Gorilla. The controls are simple and crisp. However, I have a few suggestions regarding manager mode. 1. A revamp of the negotiation system would make the manager mode more realistic. The implementation of summer and winter windows, contracts, and loans would greatly improve what is already a submersible experience. 2. The inclusion of retirement (and the ability to view a player’s age) and a youth academy would offer further depth to the manager mode. As far as I have experienced, players don’t age in game. Creating such a system would add to the game. 3. Sponsors (eg. kit-provider deals that allow you to create or choose a new kit every season, and fan approval based on the kit would come in the form of differing revenue)

Best Soccer Game Ever

I love this game but a few months ago and after an update I am not able to play when my phone is connected to the wifi. I have an old iPhone and most likely is not compatible with this software anymore. Also, there should be more instructions of certain things when there is an update. For example. What is High or Deep on the tactics section? How do you get a sponsor? How many levels are on SSC Manager? Also, it needs to be an update for the offside because it's really wrong. I am surprised that nobody has noticed that. I was playing Kick Off and Kick Off 2 by Dino Dini on a Commodore Amiga 500 when I was a kid and this game is very similar to that if not identical. No matter what, I still give it 5 stars because I really think is the best Soccer Game.

Please make an UP TO DATE VERSION!!

I really LOVE this game and I think it is absolutely amazing!! Please make an update or a more UP TO DATE version of the game. I really love this game and I could play it forever but I would like if the game was up to date to real life and other little changes to the game like making your goalie come out the box and I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel like the throw ins, free kick, and corners are a little confusing to control and maybe there could be another easier way to do them. But please make an updated version!!!

Incredible Game - Need more

I have been playing this game for a while now and I am in love. It is my favorite soccer game on the market and by a decent margin. However, I am playing in 2024 and this game, being made in 2022, is outdated. Seeing Messi, Neymar, And Mbappe still at PSG is weird and young talents such as yamal, guler, and Endrick haven’t broken on to the scene yet. I understand making a whole new updated game is a lot to ask for so I only have a few suggestions/asks. 1. Please make a way to loan players for different lengths of time. That would be very helpful and more realistic. 2. Update player ratings and up to date club transfers. Literally EVERYTHING else about this app has been amazing for me. Please consider making these updates I would really love to see these updates happen.

ADs won’t close

Game is not half bad, I like the career mode aspect, however there are wayyyyyy too many ads, you have in app purchases so really there isn’t that much need to have ads so often. The ads required for simple things like changing the weather and time of the match are extremely annoying, but the worst was when I was in the middle of my second match in career mode, got an ad at half time, and after waiting for a while after the ad finished, no X-button ever appeared. This also happened when trying to watch videos for coins as well. Along with this the gameplay itself is rly annoying, tough to get control of the ball, camera angle is wack, and overall not a fun experience. Would not recommend this game.

Please make a 2021
Fri Apr 09 2021 Jackals did,

This game is amazing and I have no complaints at all. That’s all that need to be said, it’s soooooo hard to find good mobile games and as a game dev myself, I know it’s not really a good idea to put a basic game on the App Store. But this game, is beyond my expectations for mobile. I would love to see a 2021 and I would even pay 5 dollars for this game it’s that good. Even if you don’t make a 2021 I’ll still be playing this game till 3031. 10/10 would recommend
