Tips and tricks
- Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
