Very cool game, lots of possible upgrades, good milestones, good graphics. Positive criticism: Maybe an even faster speed is required. 8x or 16x for example. I also felt that sometimes there was too much useless information popping up on the screen.
STRATEGY GUIDE PART 1: Ok I've played this long enough to write a simple strategy guide. 1) In the beginning when your star rating is 1, train one skill before every match (vision > technique > free kick > power > pace) and go play. Use the lowest effort rate so you don't burn too much energy. Believe me, you'll still get plenty of chances. Get your passes right, try to get an assistance. If the shot is not easy, don't go for it (goal bonus too low at this stage). Don't spend on lifestyle or boots. If your energy is not full before a match, don't train a skill before it. Avoid spending at all costs. 2) Accumulate some money by scoring a few goals. If you get man of the match 2 or 3 times you may get a sponsorship, which means more cash. Play well and with good match ratings you'll soon reach level 2. 3) As soon as you lvl up, negotiate a new contract ($4/$2 is pretty decent). Play a few matches, score some goals, build up some skills. (continued…) +1 this so everyone can see!
STRATEGY GUIDE PART 2: When you have around $10 or $15 it's safe to start gambling. Where? Slots, they're very easy. 4) Start betting $1/game on slots. Slowly build your cash up to $40. At this point, keep betting $1 but if you lose three in a row, start betting $2, win a few and then go back to $1. When you have about $80 start doing the same with $2/$5 bets, then with $5/$7 bets when you have $200. NEVER bet $10 cause in my experience you don't win often. I like the $5 bets better than all. 5) Accumulate as much cash as you want (I got $400 in 20 minutes) and then STOCK UP ON ENERGY DRINKS because now they cost $5. Soon they'll be more than $20 each. 6) Get good boots with nice boosts. Train skills not modified by boots. Buy lifestyle items. Keep playing solid, get new sponsors, level up, re-negotiate contracts etc until the end of the game. Don't forget to give some attention to your sponsors and girlfriend. 7) When out of money: SLOTS! +1 this so everyone can see!
Last race: stab someone, then taunt them, then sprint. You'll get the early lead. Whenever the officials show up, donate and then distract them so they go away. As someone approaches, stab again and fob off the rest, don't forget to sprint whenever you can, timing it well with the stabs. Collect food on your way to have enough stamina all the way through. Keep doing this and you'll end 1st.
