and the "counter attack" formation beats every other formation, but is extremely boring to use. it's really awkward how, unless i'm just always using counter attack (boring), i always have to switch to counter attack to counter counter attack .. especially since different formations place the characters in completely different positions, which means your important central players with buffed stats end up in the corner where they're absolutely useless, so switching formations basically doesn't work either, unless they use the same positions.
also attackers often try to go further forward than the map allows, which makes them run back to the midfield for some reason, forcing you to attack with defenders, which is also extremely awkward.
this game feels like a huge wasted opportunity.

i keep playing this because i loved speedball on the gameboy back in forever ago, and it has all the elements. but the formations and position are horrible. nobody ever bloody defends.
of course there isn't any need to if you spend all the money and overpower every team, but ... winning 10-0 every time ain't fun either.
if they would just defend, that would mean a lot. often they just leave the goalie all by himself.
also passing often passes backwards for no reason, or passes to a character that then runs away, or straight into the hands of an opponent etc.
and the left and right defender are absolutely useless, they never do anything, which makes the defensive formations absolutely suck at defense, because of the lost characters, which is really awkward.

Absolutely loved this game for years! So glad I got back into it! I would to see a sequel, but if not, you already have a gem of a game! :)

Ive beat this game so fast you only need to skill speed and toughness then just throw the ball all the time in direction to the other goal and run towards it easy win every game.

It would be helpful when before the game starts it would show the number order in the multiple formations you can open your match with.

For those of you going for a hard badge in the game, DON'T upgrade your stats of the players after you finish every round. Instead, wait until the end of the division and buy 5 star transfers. You can get more than one after every division, after you buy one press continue, but instead of starting a game go back to menu, then continue career. It will give you a list of completely different transfers that you can buy. Keep doing this until you are satisfied with your players. Hope this helped :D

Kind of a bug in the game. At the end of the season when you trade players, make trades for high $$$ members, then go to the main menu or refresh and you can trade again. You can win Division 1 in one go by never spending money on trading and picking up 4-5 star members every division change.

this is a great game - i wish it could be expanded to keeping player stats - other leagues - not just capping talents at five stars -etc - if soccer were like this i would watch

Pretty fun. The fast pace can sometimes make it hard to follow where the ball is. if it were 6v6, it would probably have worked better, but hey, that's just my opinion.

This is honestly so boring and I couldn't wait for the time to run out on my first match just so that I could get the badge.
