I love this game so much but sometimes it just doesn't make sense. For instance, when I kicked a beautiful 47 yard pass to my team mate over the heads of three people it said my pass was simple and when I pass it to the person right in front of me it is good or great. one of the best games on Kongregate.
A strategy that has literally never failed me is to only increase maneuverability. In later battles you can kill a guy before they get a chance to act. Sweet game.
