Quick Look: Academy of Champions

Yeah! Love me some soccer!

Pele!!!!!
It's Quidditch time!

Jesus Christ ;p

This post is Copy Right material.

They ripped off the Nike "Take it to the next level" advert for the intro.

Harry Potter: Soccer!  Go for the Gold; Champion Edition; EXTREME!!!
 
That's what they should have called this.

I'm British and the existence of this is absurd to me.

Just like the real thang :P

ah ha...i totally saw a rabbid at the main menu near the castle

Eh, I'll stick to Blood Bowl for my fantasy sports.

Probably will rent it for a giggle

I don't think a school dedicated solely to soccer is a wise investment.

Must prepare myself for pain as I hear the word 'soccer'.

sorry but i have to say that assuming  that Brad and Jeff are relative new in the soccer video games, i'm totally not surprised by seeing Jeff getting S rank and Brad a D....

Rabbids confirmed!

Rabbid(?) on the castle @ 03:27

The story CG starting 14 minutes in is the worst CG I've seen in a game in 15 years.

We're gonna... SHAKE THE CRIME STICK!

THAT WAS TOTALLY A RABBID 
 
I love how Ubisoft is just putting Rabbids in everything. I want to see Rabbids in Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell. No More Heroes 2 should let me kill Rabbids by the dozen.  Rabbids make everything better.

I wonder if they could get sued for how blatant a rip off that is.... Unless they consider it parody, then i thinkits safe.
 
If America wants to call it 'Soccer' instead of 'Football' the rest of the world should just follow suit. (I kid). No but seriously.... As a kid i never understood why we called american football "football", you barely ever touch the ball with your feet, in fact only the kickers do.... They should just call it pigskin and leave football as soccer... er you know what I mean.

Looks like a fun soccer game for kids. Nothing really wrong with that.

They should remake Sega Soccer Slam. That game was awesome.

Playes like fifa street!! you cant still get the demo from psn store.... try it. (not good)

So:
 
Games end in a 1-0 score
Lots of passing
Dumb flashy moves that don't accomplish anything
Mind-numbingly boring.
 
Yep, sounds like Soccer.
 
But wait, the clock counts DOWN? Everyone knows the clock in Soccer counts up! On top of that, no completely ambiguous and morally questionably "Stopping Time?"  Sham I say!
 
 This isn't soccer! Give me incomprehensible rules and prima-donna players! Give me flopping! Give me a clock that counts up!

Beautiful Game
 
Close enough, though.

Americans play handegg.
 
Everyone else plays football.

LOL.So true. "

I was with you until you said 'offsides'. Calling it Soccer is acceptable in the US, but I will not tolerate 'offsides'!

So does losing to Jeff count for pulling a Brad?  Do we need to timestamp his death?

wow, this game makes me sad.  I love the game of futbol ( soccer ) but this game truly depresses me.  quick where's the rat poison.... AND LOTS OF IT...

In case you guys don't figure this up by yourselves (from previous comments I assume some people don't get it): this, by all means, doesn't try to simulate soccer. It's a soccer game for kids on the Wii. Wii sports with a little more to it. Done.

Brad I appreciated your subtle Harry Potter joke at the end the Jeff did not get at all.

Pay-lay?

I dig the art style this game has going for it. Too bad the game itself isn't all that interesting.

Did the goal score? Haha lol.
 
And oh god this game looks boring :P

LoL loved the Rabbid siting Brad seemed so confused

I really love soccer and I always enjoy watching the game being played in any capacity.  I really enjoyed this quick look and was impressed and how restrained Jeff and Brad were about their uncaring of soccer.
 
Soccer by the way is actually an English term so you can blame the Brits for inventing it.  Soccer is a shorthand of the "association" in Association Football which is the official sports name for soccer.  Likewise Gridiron Football is American Football and Rugby Football is well rugby.  Actually "rugger" is a shorthand for rugby so that is what soccer is to football.

I don't really like soccer, but I'm kinda into this
