i been playing this map for some time and i think it's great:thumbs_up:
what do we have here?
hotkeys:
z = pass
x = shoot / slide
c = long pass
v = jump

imo this is a lot of actions that u can do... i mean it's also as real as it can be, physics of the ball is good. and the ball is real as well. the game is about passing and outplaying each other in certain moments.
lets go on, the game is based on 2 attributes:
agility - makes u faster
strength - increases power of ur shots and jumping power.
every player has 10 free points to spend on agility or strength in the very start of the game. i suggest everyone woould spend all 10 points on agility cause with 10 agi u can make really good moves (if u're good)... Dribbling for example :wink:

The game also has acceptable AI but for me it really isnt fun to play with AI (for beginners it would be good to learn :grin:). Too bad only few ppl that i know play this map on a good level... most players on bnet are pretty easy to beat.

Lets take a brief look on the game play. As i've said, passing is very important. Also, most players that i've met on bnet think that only z,x,c,v keys can be used. It's wrong, there are lots of combinations that work nice. For example, v+z - it's a kind of shot/pass, other than x/c/z. A very effective method of scoring is: one player makes a cross from flank to penalty box, the other player in the box jumps (v key) and heads the ball - then it's either goal or post :).

the map can be downloaded here.

Some videos in youtube (american guy playing this map alone vs 4 AI)

do u play this map? can u share some of ur ideas of gameplay? also i want to organise a tournament about this map (this can sound like i alone want to do this but it's not so - there's a clan in bnet about soccer, but tournaments in this clan are mostly organised among pros, and i want a public tourney - so that more ppl can play this).
PS. There IS dribbling in this map and it's done by x key (for example try to x back) - the guy in the utube video is making this dribble for hundred times there... but i wouldnt recommend u to learn dribbling in the beginning cause it's not worth it, just take a look at the map :thumbs_up: GL HF
