Soccer Hero

You'd be wrong to assume that FIFA is the only soccer game to have cutting-edge 3D graphics and innovative features. By putting you in the shoes of a single player, Soccer Hero simplifies the action and provides a more direct experience than the dominant EA franchise.

Over the course of 660 missions, you'll build up your player from the ground up, helping him or her win trophies, join better teams, and ultimately compete in the World Cup! All of this runs on an engine that provides unprecedented freedom and features cutting-edge artificial intelligence in the realm of modern sports simulations. 

There's even a tale you can get invested in; it'll keep you coming back for hours. 
A football game is played by a single person, where the player controls a team of customizable characters using the keyboard and mouse to run plays and kick the ball.
