Sensible Soccer 2000

About

Sensible Soccer 2000 was a project from Sensible Software that never made it to store shelves. GT Interactive showed off this PlayStation title at E3 back in 1998 as the next big thing in the franchise. The game promised to keep the classic top-down arcade feel while adding modern touches for the console era. Players expected fast matches and simple controls but got nothing more than a trailer and some screenshots before the cancellation notice hit. Nothing about this title has community ratings since no one actually played it. The lack of data makes it a ghost in the sports gaming history rather than a benchmark like its peers. It stands out only because it remains an unreleased piece of code from a famous developer. Most fans remember the series for what came before, not for what disappeared in 1998. This entry serves as a footnote showing how easily even big names can pull the plug on a project.
