Team Tactical Settings
Achieve the most basic and intuitive 10 tactical options, such as:
-- Offensive/defense ratio
-- Holding ball/Passing ratio
- Short pass /Long passing Tendency
-- Shooting frequency
-- The overall position baseline of the attack (or defense)
-- Player spacing when defending
Of course, template tactical options, such as [All-Out Attacks] and [Counter Attacks], can be set in one click.
Tactical options are effective immediately after modification in the game, each option may change the style of the team.
If you want to achieve the best tactical effect, you may need to observe and think and adjust many times like a coach.
With more than 50 optional team formations and differences in player abilities, each game will have a lot of changes.

Unique and convenient operation method
Different from the traditional idea of only controlling the ball holder, this game is based on controlling the whole team.
There are two kinds of operation: fuzzy instruction and precise control:
-- Fuzzy instructions:
Click on the four buttons at the bottom of the screen, as if the coach giving directions to the players:
(When attacking) - Break through! Hurry pass! Take a shot!
(When defensive)- Go chasing the ball! Intercept his ball! Slide Tackle!
At this time, a player will be automatically selected, and he will execute the instructions according to his ability and team tactics.
For example, if you press the [Tackle] button while defending, the nearest player close to the ball will begin tackle.
Another example is that if you press the [Pass] key during an attack, the ball holder will automatically choose to pass a ball to a teammate in front of him.
So this is an inaccurate command, and the effect may be beyond your expectations.
-- Precise control:
By clicking and dragging directly on the field, you can accurately control passing and moving.
Ball holder: Dribble according to the direction of dragging on the field; Click on the field to pass the ball to the click position .
Teammates: Run according to the route of dragging; While in defense, clicking on the field will make one player to run to the click position.
In this way, you can precisely control multiple players at the same time, so that you can organize attacks or defenses according to your own ideas.
The following animation example shows a Dribble-Run-Pass cooperation between two teammates formed by two drag operations:

Of course, you can also use the keyboard arrow keys + buttons to complete the above control.
