PC Soccer 8 exists. This was confirmed yesterday by Héctor Prats, its main developer, in a press conference by video call. What it also confirmed is the precarious state of the game, which still has a long time to be finished and work correctly. One of lime and another of sand. It seems that the game is not a smoke, but the press conference has called into question the professionalism of the company Una Partida Más SRL, although the exercise of transparency is appreciated.
The controversy with PC Soccer 8 It’s been going on for months. Last week we published a summary article in which we reviewed everything that happened. It is advisable to read it before continuing.

“It’s embarrassing me”
The press conference had to be on Tuesday, July 2, then it was postponed to Monday, July 8. Finally, it took place yesterday, Thursday, July 11. Although more than a press conference, the conversation with Héctor Prats was a fairly informal video call. The meeting started 15 minutes late. “We found a little problem this morning and we had to solve it, now I’m finishing compiling the game,” Héctor Prats excused himself at the beginning of the call.
While the code PC Soccer 8 had just been compiled, journalists and various guests began asking questions. In the hour that the first part of the call lasted, interesting topics came up such as that the names of all the cities that appear in the game have been translated with AI, that the game has been in development for a year and two months and that Héctor Prats plans denounce content creators who, according to him, have been monetizing the controversy for months.

Among everything he said, he highlighted another release date. Let us remember that PC Soccer 8 It has already had five different release dates. According to Prats at the beginning of the call, the game will be ready next week.
From the questions we move on to the long-awaited gameplaywhich started with an error message when opening the game for the first time. Thus began the list of problems, which grew longer as the presentation progressed. Randomly created teams without forwards, a broken transfer system, the “caps” mode did not work and several times the game crashed and sent Héctor to the desktop. “I’m embarrassed, this is the first time this has happened to me,” Héctor Prats repeated.
Another delay and it’s already six

Yesterday’s presentation demonstrated two things: that the game exists and that it is still very green. So there is good news and bad news. It seems that PC Soccer 8 It is not a scam, but rather a poorly managed project that, after a year and two months in development, is still very green.
At the beginning of the call, Héctor Prats was convinced that the game would go on sale next week, something that is clearly not going to happen (at least in good conditions). Furthermore, according to Héctor, the launch will not be in early access, but rather they will publish a finished and fully playable version, although with fewer features than they would like.
Judging by what we saw yesterday, to fulfill his promise of “releasing a finished and playable game”, Héctor Prats and his team need several more months. So PC Soccer 8 There is still no release date, although now we know – finally – that it exists.
