Tips and tricks
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Because this is a Football game, pass early and shoot low.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
