I agree
Schuster. It was the name of the club I played for when I was young.
Just watch, make substitution, and so on. during matches you are the "coach"
Broken Joystick
At least you can talk. Who are you?
Played 13 matches, lost every single one. No idea what I'm doing wrong and the game doesn't really give any hint other than "train your team with these cards to get better!"
Just watch.
Just watch.
try to position the "line" of yuor team on the field to cover your defense, initially.
continue training a lot, so play "exibition matches" before starting the real championship season.
I've got only draws and losses in the pre-season exibitions but they helped me in growing footballer skills before the league
Just bought this. Played my first match and won 2 - 0, towering header for the second!
Reminds of the 'manager' games for the Commodore 64 / Spectrum where you choose a team and then just sit there whilst the 90 mins ticks down and hope your goal number increases whilst the oppositions doesn't.....I loved those games!!

As an American who never understood how we commandeered the name "football", this just made me cackle in my cubicle. Thank you, kind stranger.
IIRC, 'rugby football' emerged as a popular variant of football (i.e. soccer) in the UK, then that was taken to the US, and the rules were adapted until it became (American) football, a separate sport in its own right. So the 'football' part comes from the sport's heritage as a descendent of (soccer) football. In any case the ball is still counted as a ball due to how it's used, despite its shape (ball does not equal sphere), and foot contact is still made to score points.
Maybe it takes more time because Nintendo needs to exchange every "football" with "soccer" for our US Friends
They need to rename this titel too in "Nintendo Pocket Soccer Club"
haha that's exactly what it is!
Oh
That's a shame, I got a sensible soccer vibe from it.Hey, if that's your surname it's very very close to mine! Not often you see a surname like that
Rugby isn't so much a variety of football (soccer) as it is a different formalisation of the notion of old 'football', it's more like a sibling than a descendant.
I usually end up with either Real Madras or Dynamo Kebab lol
Think I might have to pick this up.
It's not, it's the name of my hometown, although Tyldesley isn't that rare a surname in the UK - Clive Tyldesley is the footballHey, if that's your surname it's very very close to mine! Not often you see a surname like that
commentator for ITV for example.
This, jesus NoA get your head out of your ass. I know the US doesn't really like soccer but the rest of the countries in the Americas are batshit crazy about it.

No US release whine thread? No US release whine thread!!
For real. First party titles need worldwide releases.

Alright, I'll restart and give it that a go, thanks. Don't want to label the game as terrible in my review just because I'm bad at it so I'm willing to try different methods to see what works.
Ah damn. It's not the most common, outside of Coronation Street and the Footy Commentator I'm yet to know anyone else with it! My surname is spelt slightly different but sounds the same.

Is there any way to see a players potential before you sign them?
Also, playing with a high defensiv line in the beginning is a sure way to lose.

Damn, this is a tough game. I only won my first match until now (still on practice matches), all I do is lose or draw. The game certainly has its charm and I already know the names of the players I so freaking hate on my team. Y'all getting sacked!
Looking at the stats website, I can understand why there's no NA version yet. Unlike Europe, most countries in the Americas don't have official Nintendo presence or even their own eShops and a whole bunch of South Americans have their 3DSes set to US or Canada (thanks to the stupid country-locked NNIDs) *and* the disproportionally biggest NA market (the US) is indifferent to soccer, making the whole online stat tracking thing kinda not work right without some serious reworking.
Yes. Nintendo added the option to keep a backup of the save when deleting games a few firmware updates ago. It's automatically restored when you re-download the game too.
1 block = 1 megabit.
8 megabits = 1 megabyte.

Should be obvious, but just to be clear: you have to hit the Save Data Backup option on the home menu for AA5 (it's on the lower edge of the touch screen once you touch the game's icon) first, then go and delete it to make room.
Also of note, we got the term "Soccer" from England.
Basically, WE LEARNED IT FROM YOU, DAD!
It's 3000+ blocks so it's under 0.5GB, but my download stalled at 21% as well when I tried switching to sleep mode download.
Yup, Football Manager is number 3 in my best 5 games of all time list, it was number 2 until recently when The Wonderful 101 took its place.
I hate to think how many hours I put into that game.
South America getting screwed
we like football a lot Nintendo. the NA region ain't just the US
I'm still hoping the coming world cup will bring this game to America.
(If not I'll just get football manager vita)

Still playing the pre-season matches, but I've used quite a few cards and can already see improvements! Still getting beat, but my keeper is making saves and attackers are jumping for crosses etc. Progress!

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
12 Characters for team name.
So, "FootballTeam" will just fit, without spaces.

I love the aesthetic design of this game. I hope NOA will release it.

Hmmm, feels good to finally win. Started the season with a draw away (1-1) and won the second game at home (4-1) even with my main striker out with an injury (3 weeks). I'm starting to see some football!
