I am glad you are interested in Goal!

Zak · 10 September 2014, 15:45

In GOALnewXIV.zip I redesigned the spanish league with all new information. It should be more realistic now.

lolafg · 10 September 2014, 17:40

Thanks , will try it when time permit...

Zak · 17 September 2014, 17:45

GOALnewXV.zip contains a new bonus team for the spanish league

I gave away a disk with some rubbish teams at first, which was unintended, I fixed that now. Just some personal teams I play the leagues with but not good for this compilation, sorry for that.

Zak · 26 September 2014, 15:00

GOALnewXVI.zip
Still, after such long time, there is errors that occur and that I correct.

DDNI · 26 September 2014, 15:01

Thanks Zak.

Zak · 05 October 2014, 18:36

Let me explain to you one reason why I had to make GOALnewXVII.zip:

Mehmed Bazdarevic was assigned number 4 by Dino Dini and I thought he would fit into defence, at least because I found a damaged webpage that claimed him to be a defender. But all wrong, he is a playmaker and I now put him in central midfield. Numbers in Goal! are sometimes a bit weird and misleading.

Just one reason and you see the problems I am facing. I just keep up uploading the versions as they arise, I don´t know when that´s all gonna be ready, I keep on searching the web and media and learn more and more.

Last time I read a review match report in a sports magazine really interesting and learned new information that I didn´t even search for.

Zak · 26 October 2014, 15:17

Today GOALnewXVIII.zip out

Edit: latest version is number 19 (XIX), 4th of November 2014

14 November 2014, 11:47

I'll have to check this out, i've not played Goal! for years now, i remember we played it solidly the week it came out then i couldn't get on it for a week as my brother wrote a team editor for it!

Zak · 14 November 2014, 16:06

Have fun! The gameplay is still stunning even in comparison to modern titles.

Zak · 07 July 2015, 17:13

GOALnew20 is in The Zone!

It features a few more bonus teams, corrected errors I still found and has a new face lift on the data names. There is also minor corrections to the german language file. Of course it still features corrected tactics.

Edit: And now GOALnew21 available!
I have been working on Bundesliga with new criteria.

14.08.: GOALnew22.zip

Zak · 25 August 2015, 23:46

Don´t miss my new GOAL-zak-data, I have corrected some errors and changed the shirts a little. You´ll find it in the reuploaded GOALnew22.zip from today.

Zak · 06 September 2015, 00:45

And again uploaded next version of GOAL-zak-data. After some test playing, I found out that Brazil and Argentina need stronger goalkeepers to be more competitive (and realistic).

benvelor · 17 September 2015, 15:18

hi, great work mate!
i'm a huge Goal fan
but, where I can download your update..?

benvelor · 17 September 2015, 15:19

ok, I found it!
thanks again!

Zak · 17 September 2015, 23:12

Hello benvelor,

GOAL-zak-data is still in the Zone and I reuploaded GOALnew22, if you missed it.

Many teams still not have original numbers, but it´s hard to get good videos to see those. So there is still potential for future updates, depending on what they upload on Youtube.

Zak · 20 February 2016, 00:11

Made a new update to GOAL-zak-data.adf

Zak · 10 April 2016, 19:50

After some period of time, I made GOALnew23.zip. Some new interpretations to the original lineups.

Edit: And now GOALnew24 out and uploaded.

Edit2: And latest update today is GOALnew25.

Zak · 05 June 2016, 22:53

4 years after starting this thread, I am about to give up the project. Everytime I do a search, I find something new, even after so many years.

It´s simply impossible to get acope with thousands of football players

You got a lineup right around, and then you find out, that someone is left footed or too tall for the wings or too small for the centre and so on and so on.

And hardly anyone is interested in Goal!, not even Dino Dini who I tried to get in touch with, without success. He would just ignore me.

This is the best game of my life, but I´ll have to get back to a state where I ignore the lineups and just play soccer.

I am really disappointed and frustrated right now.

I think about just deleting all my work and forget about it.

Zak · 07 June 2016, 20:24

I made up my mind. This game is too important for me, although there are hardly any fans. I will continue, be it for years to come.

If someone will accidentally read this (where did the 12,000 views come from?), my question is, what it would take to make an official Hall Of Light version out of this.

I want a corrected Goal!. Period.
