Tips and tricks
- Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
- 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.
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
