point

Best accuracy

AOver-kicking adds power to a kick. However, the Kick Meter speeds up on the downswing and your chance for making an accurate kick decreases. Try to stop the Kick Meter in the middle of the yellow accuracy range for best results.

Aim your kick or change the trajectory with the directional arrow by pressing the D-Button or left analog stick.

KICKOFF/PUNT RETURNING

Switch players
