Tips and tricks
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- 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.
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
