Tips and tricks
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
- 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.
