Gameplay

There is an exhibition mode, training mode, and two different kinds of cup (tournament) modes.[2]

The game starts with a coin toss and the winner chooses to have possession of the football or to choose what side of the field to defend. No club play is possible with national leagues; there are only international teams (except for Kashima Antlers). However, England is excluded along with most other FIFA member nations. Instead of directly controlling the players, the manager/player must choose who must pass the ball to which player, where to shoot the football, where to move the players on the board, and how they should shoot the football.

gollark: Does SDL not have some "do this every frame" callback?
gollark: No.
gollark: Surely it should just draw the buffer to the screen every frame.
gollark: It only needs to actually render each frame. Make the actual draw stuff write to a buffer.
gollark: ???
