Tips and tricks
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
