- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- Play a full season or tournament rather than single matches; the progression makes each match matter more.
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
