AYSO Soccer '97
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AYSO Soccer 97: World Challenge is designed specifically for children aged 5 to 18 within the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), and allows users to select real-life AYSO teams—including rosters that may feature their own name. With a built-in face editor, players can customize avatars to mirror themselves. Gameplay begins at the local level, with the goal of winning the city championship. Victory leads to a world tour and the ultimate challenge: the global title. Matches are short and accessible to cater to younger attention spans, with durations ranging from two to ten minutes, even though the in-game clock displays full 45-minute halves. Graphically, the game uses identical character models across all age leagues—from under-6 to under-19—while gameplay speeds vary with older teams.[4]
Development
The game was announced in May 1996.[1]
