Actua Soccer 2 or sometimes Actua Soccer 98 due to its capitalization on the 1998 FIFA World Cup was one of the many football titles released to capitalize on the 1998 World Cup, and once again included national teams, but a more polished engine (optimized in the PC version for 3D graphics cards), (in some versions) the full Italian Serie A league, and a new "scenario" mode assured good sales and mostly positive reviews. It also included a team creator mode, which enabled the player to make up to 128 custom teams.

Nostalgia trip ahoy. The commentary from Barry Davies and Trevor Brooking is better than any of the current FIFA's.
The gameplay is erratic and fast paced but still fun enough to play. Holds up better than I would have thought for a 25 year old game

This is the game that I least expected to be fully compatible with the steam deck.
It even recognizes the deck as a deck and not like a computer.
PS: restore the sales of actua soccer 3 pls!!!
