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.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- 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.
