The first game in the series for seven years, Sensible Soccer 2006 plays as well as its predecessors, albeit with little innovation and a few gameplay issues.
Despite the subtle change in controls, the game plays an incredibly similar game of football to the original Sensible Soccer.
Seen from an overhead view, players can make either short passes or long crosses/shots, and an arrow at the player's feet shows the trajectory of the ball.
As with all Sensible Soccer games, an enormous amount of aftertouch can be applied to long shots, letting you bend the ball into the goal or pick out a player after you've crossed it.
Players can now sprint at the touch of a button, although they have a limited supply of stamina that you need to use strategically through each game.

You can tackle by approaching the opposing player and pressing the pass button, whilst using the long pass button performs a sliding tackle, although this is riskier.
