NESfiend | 1,514 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I see why they called it "GOAL!" with the exclamation point. It's probably really thrilling to score one. I've played a lot of sports games and scoring one FREAKING time has never seemed so out of reach. I got really fired up just getting a shot on goal last night. Then I realized how sad that was and went to bed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this game is even more low scoring than real soccer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWarwick07 | 122 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Never really appreciated Nintendo world cup fully until playing this for three days, I use speedy players on offense and you can put English on your shots using left and right when you shoot. I started scoring goals once I read that in the manual online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had better luck shooting it straight on and hoping the goal keeper would knock it right back for an easy shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Gensouki | 1,066 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 This game is utter garbage. I can't even do a pass or tackle an enemy successfully. I'm not big on sports games anyway, but I did play a few soccer and tennis games growing up. This however is pretty awful and not fun. Maybe I don't understand the controls properly, but at this point I don't even care anymore. The only redeeming quality of this game is the music, which is pretty okay. 00 - 49 = -49 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And had there been a goal next to that one, the shots would have missed that one too. Gave up on that feature entirely and scored the first game.

If you kick it straight on from far enough back and the goal keeper dives for it, they will knock it right back to you and give you an open shot at the goal.

This is the most reliable way I've found too. Although I should try to add some English now that I'm more comfortable with the controls and see if it is helpful.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 My biggest problem trying to score is that the computer players seem to instantly slide into you and knock the ball away as soon as you get it. I can score if I can actually get down to the goal to get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can score if I can actually get down to the goal to get a shot. Updated score and probably done for a while. Need to get some baseball in for completions thread. The opponents defenders sliding is what makes it so hard. They take the ball from you 100% of the time. Seems like even well executed tackles for you are way less than 50%. I get down there and am working the keepers now. But where I end up near the goal is so random because the ball is in the air 90% of the time. So real opportunities are few and far between.

dvertov | 205 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 The best strategy I've found is to not bother using the pass button at all. I just kick it as close to the other goal as I can, and hope to get off a good shot with a rebound or a lucky tackle (my tackles only work about 10% of the time). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dracula | 126 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Damn there is definitely a learning curve to this one. I lost 8-0 in the first half of my first game and I couldn’t get the ball anywhere near the net. I recommend not passing at all and just using the A button to kick it up the field. Slide tackling is very inconsistent. 25 (26-1) Edited May 18, 2020 by Kid Dracula 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said the tackles work 50% of the time, I meant tackles where you are in perfect position and slide straight thru the ball and players legs. Even the ones that seem perfectly executed are less than 50%. But those opportunities are rare. If you count every time you try it, yeah its less than 1 in 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 -4 0-4 Big old nope from me to play anymore. The first 4 minutes of he game I didn’t touch the ball once with the exception of my keeper. Tackling? Oh that only works for the opposing team and they get every tackle from behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
