Despite the 3DO’s limited commercial success, V-Goal Soccer '96 managed to capture the attention of gamers with its relatively advanced 3D graphics for the time and its commitment to creating an authentic soccer experience. The use of dynamic camera angles and a commentator helped bring the matches to life, enhancing the immersion. Although not as well-remembered as other football franchises, V-Goal Soccer '96 holds a place as a noteworthy effort to deliver a comprehensive and enjoyable soccer simulation on one of the era’s more niche gaming platforms.
