The game is a soccer simulation.[1] There are different types of choices that the player may choose, most notably more choices than its predecessor. The player can choose to tackle, dribble, shoot, intercept, block or simply do nothing. Choices with the ball low is to do a volley shot, trap the ball or clear. With the ball high the player can choose to shoot with a header (or a bicycle kick only with selected players), trap the ball or clear. As the goalkeeper, same goes with the original game either to punch the ball or catch it. Some players also have a special moves, these special moves would normally require a lot of guts (energy) to be used compared to doing the normal move. For the player guts are very limited, while for the computer, they may use their special infinitely. When playing in the story mode of the game, the player must win each match to progress, but when you lose, it the player must play the previous match, when losing or winning, your players can level up making a match easier for the player (maximum level is 100). When a match is won players would rank up more than they lose.
Music[]
The original score for the game was composed by Keiji Yamagishi, Mayuko Okamura and Mikio Saito (Metal Yuki.) Most of the songs played during the game's Cinema Displays were created by Mayuko Okamura. Mikio Saito composed the song for the Flamingo team (in this game the music changes according to the team in control of the ball.) All the other songs of the game, all of the sound effects, and the sound programming were created by Keiji Yamagishi.[2]
