■ System
Direct Your Players to Victory!
Players will constantly move on the pitch, with each of the player’s decisions greatly swaying the outcome of a match!
The plethora of actions available to the player such as shooting, tackling, and passing change depending on the situation and consume an energy called “vibes.” Overworking a single player will quickly cause them to run out vibes, greatly limiting their moves.Utilizing substitutions and a division of labour, optimize your team’s output of vibes! Doing so is the shortest path to achieving victory.
Stack Wins and Draft the Ultimate Dream Team!
Winning a fierce match against a rival team will recruit its players into the Golden Balls! Additionally, characters can be powered up between matches through training.
Whether to build a solid all-round team or to focus on a specific niche, the strategy is all up to you, the coach. Train up your favorite players and create your very own dream team! Lead your team to hold up the league champion trophy!
Powerful Special Moves! Leaving Uniforms in Tatters?!
Specific players have special moves which are more powerful than regular shooting, dribbling, and tackling!
However, since they consume large amounts of vibes, figuring out the pivotal moments in which to activate these abilities is the key to victory. When a player lands a special move, their uniform is for some reason left in tatters!
Players with damaged uniforms must temporarily leave the pitch in order to change, leaving your team a player short! Determine when to optimally use your special moves to grasp victory!
No Hard Feelings! The Heartfelt Uniform Exchange!
When you defeat a rival team, exchange uniforms after the match in an act of sportsmanship! It is a sign of friendship and mutual respect only open to those who gave their all during the match. But no weird looks! Those who do will be handed an immediate red card and be asked to leave!
