Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Because this is a Soccer game, pass early and shoot low.
