The game is a soccer simulation.[1] There are different types of soccer moves that the player may choose. The player can choose to tackle, dribble, shoot, intercept, block or simply do nothing. Moves 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, the player can either punch the ball or catch it. Some players also have 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 moves infinitely.
When playing in the story mode of the game, the player must win each match to progress. If the player loses, they must play the previous match again. Whether a player loses or wins, their characters level up to a maximum level of 500. Characters level up more when matches are won than when matches are lost.
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]
