NSS 4 was the first in the series to feature a Macintosh version of the game, and Linux support has also been discussed.
It featured an entirely new game engine with improved gameplay, including 360° control, more realistic dribbling and 3D graphics. The new game heralded major changes because it consisted of a single application controlling career and match gameplay, rather than two separate applications, as in New Star Soccer 3. Three public betas featuring the match engine only were released and 6 private career betas were released. Matches are played out in 2D graphics giving full control of a particular player's actions.Ī fourth version of the game, NSS4 (Later re-released as NSS 2010), was released on November 7, 2008. Since the third version of the game, NSS3, released in 2005, the gamer controls his player with the keyboard, joystick or gamepad.
In the first two versions of the game, NSS 1 (2003) and NSS 2 (2004), the action on the field was a running text commentary of key elements of the match, where certain situations required intervention to make a decision on how the player acts, like whether to pass, tackle or shoot.
