Why I prefer crunch over kickabout is a soup of many factors (oddly said duh).

Well the controls are simplier and more accurate, I think.

There are more players on crunch and they attack each other in some bloody (not really) rage (well not really), ending up in a mass of armorplated people hitting other armorplated people just to get the ball. It’s always so satisfying to see sych a behavior. In clear words C has 10 players each side K has 4 each side if my math is correct (it might not be)

In kickabout players don’t improve or evolve, they just have one thing they are good at: one kicks (the ball) hard, one sprints and one tackles the best. That is a dull decision, which leads in one guy making the goals, one sprinting and so on.

Lastly tactics have a greater affect in Crunchball(over)3000
and you can change ‘em in the heat of the battle(I mean game of course) and really alter the course of history/the match.

This is clearly a personal opinion, and I wouldn’t really fuss about it.

Oh one bad thing about Crunch just passed my mind: they can’t drop the ball accidently. Nah maybe it’s because the poeple oh the future (behold) have better grip.

Kickabout League is better than Crunchball.

Also, get your WoW items on the cheap here!

It’s weird, I found the controls on Crunchball to be amazingly fine, whereas Kickabout was slow and the sprint mechanic annoyed me. Odd that you found the opposite.

After some practice on Crunchball I was able to finely aim a shot right at the goal with more accuracy than Kickabout, which I think is pretty cool since Kickabout has an aiming arrow and Crunchball only shoots the direction you’re runnng in.

I totally take your point that it’s a shallow Speedball copy, but are there actually any decent Speedball copies or sequels around right now? I feel it’s a very polished game, with good AI and strategy, the rapid pace of higher leagues is really cool.

The only thing that they got wrong was the upgrade system. There’s no incentive to use the smaller training upgrades.
