Football Academy DS is being described as “a collection of mini-games and challenges that improves football knowledge in a fun and entertaining way,” which means that we’re not getting a proper football simulation game (we already have FIFA 09 for that) but a more casual approach to the game.
So instead of creating, managing or controlling your team, you’ll get the chance to learn football strategy, positioning and technique by completing all sorts of tasks – end eventually you’ll be able to take your skills onto the pitch and compete against friends. Which sounds interesting enough, right?
Here are the first released screenshots for Football Academy DS:
