Some general tips for those getting smashed in the campaign

[Ʋєяєтняαgηα]

After getting lobotomized by leonardo against italy and deciding to practice more, I've come to realize how the game works I think.

1. When Dribbling, R2 beats Tackles and R1 (Regular sprinting) beats slides. Slides you can see coming but generally if it is a big guy, he will always tackle so spam that r2. There is a caveat though, if you have low level dribble skills with a low base, and enemy has high level tackles/slides, you will always lose no matter what dribble skill you use. This goes both ways and I learned this the hard way

2. If enemy ace is dismantling your defense, best way to stop him is to let him near your goal and wait for him to charge a shot, then you tackle or slide. This will net you a critical play too and increase your v-gauge.

3. There is no reason not to tackle/slide enemies with red stamina. It's a free ball possession.

4. When on the offensive, always try to activate the zone for that player by doing a dribble move over 2 defenders. This guarantees a fully charged shot/super shot

5. When choosing skills, higher base is generally better

6. Not all shots are created the same. Some shots are better when you shoot at point blank while some shots are actually better at long range. Experiment.

7. Some skills are OP. Examples are: Young Ace, Possession Demon with Dribble Crazy, The ball is my friend, etc.

8. There are also OP hidden skills that is accessible via cheat engine. They have 0 cost and don't there are no skill indicators when they activate but they are fully functional and very op. This may hint at DLC characters. Only useful for people who use CE
