Tips and tricks
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
