Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Because this is a Sports game, timing beats power.
