Football League
How many football games would you need to play to fully understand football? Well, it's not certain, but you can play another if you try out Football League. This is a chance to control a whole team across a large field to play professional games against other players. You get to see how the team moves and the positions that the players will move into when they're attacking or defending. It's always about following the ball as best as you can, but no one wins a game by themselves. Play responsibility so that you don't lose any players too early in the game so that you can go the distance.

The goal is to score more points than the opposing team before time runs out. The scores and timer are shown in the top right corner, with the timer counting up. When the timer reaches 90, the game ends. If the scores are tied, extra time will be given to decide a winner.
The main menu is quite limited, just giving you the chance to pick your team (left) and the opposing team (right). Both will be assigned random players and then you can start playing the game. It'll start with one of the teams being given the all to start. After a few seconds, both teams will be free to run across the field. You'll automatically be given control over the player closest to the ball or whichever one of your teammates possesses it. When you get the ball close to the opposing goal, you can try to score a point. When the opposing team has the ball, you can use the slide to try and regain control.
Tips and Tricks
When playing, the number one thing that you need to keep in mind is awareness of your and the opposing team's arrangements. More than one of your players may be near the ball so you'll jump between them quickly, but don't panic. Try to avoid grouping your players too close otherwise, you'll limit their coverage.
