How To Play Vision

Next, I’ll show you how to actually play the game, as a lot of you seem confused. Let’s jump into the field!

Basic Controls

Passing: Use the R key for a standard pass, T for a lob pass.
Dribbling:
- Z: Dribble left
- X: Dribble back
- C: Dribble forward
- V: Dribble right

Shooting Mechanics

Positioning is key. Aim for the corners to make it difficult for the goalkeeper (GK).
Use the arc shot technique to enhance scoring chances.
If you’re in a shift lock, it may become predictable for defenders.
When shooting, draw the GK toward you to open up space for a shot.
Also, practice arching your shots to make it more challenging for the GK.

Team Coordination

Use callouts effectively to communicate with teammates. For example, pressing F will call for the ball, visible only to teammates with the appropriate trait.
Consider team compositions when choosing roles; some traits like “Hungry” or “Bull” are particularly strong for defenders.

In the next section, I’ll discuss standing tackles and defensive strategies to help improve your gameplay.

Standing Tackle Basics

Speed Requirement: You need at least 11 speed to effectively perform standing tackles.
Demonstration: Sofa will show you how to execute a standing tackle. I’ll explain the mechanics.

What is a Standing Tackle?

A standing tackle involves approaching an opponent, holding your charge bar, and positioning yourself to block or intercept the ball. It’s effective even if you don’t have possession.

Defensive Hitbox: Players with higher defense have a larger hitbox, making it easier to intercept passes or shots.
Positioning: When shooting towards the goal, aim for corners to avoid being easily blocked by defenders.
Intercepting the Ball: If the ball is in the box, a defender can execute a standing tackle to clear it.

Practical Example: A player will stand in front of me as I attempt to pass the ball. If I miss, they can tackle it. This demonstrates the effectiveness of standing tackles in a match.

Dribbling and Lob Techniques

Dribbling Mechanics:

Lob Dribbling: A common tactic is to lob the ball over opponents. This can confuse defenders.
Passing: Quick passes help maintain control. Use a combination of passing and dribbling to keep opponents guessing.

Magging:

Definition: Magging occurs when a player shoots directly in front of a defender, and the defender intercepts the shot. Sofa will show this.
Lob Pass: You can lob the ball into the air and intercept it. Sofa will demonstrate this technique.

Jump Tackles:

Jump tackles allow you to cover more ground. When executing, sprint and jump to hit the opponent, making it harder for them to evade you.

Using Skills in Defense

Skills to Utilize:

Nutmeg: Slip the ball between an opponent’s legs for a quick escape.
Foul Play: This skill can stun opponents, giving you an advantage.
Air Trap: Use this technique to control the ball mid-air.

Combining Skills with Lobbing:

You can lob the ball and instantly use skills like the nutmeg or air trap for surprising plays.

Passing Mechanics

When passing, make sure your power is appropriate. The more control and power you have, the better your passes and curve shots will be.
Curve Shots: These can be used for both scoring and passing. They add unpredictability to your gameplay.

Goalkeeping Techniques

Basic Controls:

Diving: Use Z for a left dive, C for a right dive, and Q for a high dive.
React Quickly: Follow the striker’s movements and react swiftly to their shots. Don’t hesitate!

Important Tips:

Avoid Diving into the Goal: Be cautious not to dive too close to the goal line, as it can lead to goals.
Catching Contender Shots: You can catch shots like “Contender,” but positioning is crucial.

Gameplay Strategy:

As a goalkeeper, you must maintain focus. If you dive incorrectly or lose the ball, it could result in a goal for the opposing team.

Understanding standing tackles, dribbling mechanics, and effective goalkeeping are all essential for improving your performance in the game. Practice these techniques, and you’ll become a threatening player on the field.
