------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yaroze Total Soccer / -------------------/ A soccer game on the playstation ... with gameplay ! v1.1 17/11/98 A Yaroze conversion of an original PC Windows95 game by Charles Chapman (c) 1998 http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~charlie/ charlie@livemedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important Notes ! / -----------------/ Even though it looks 2D, it is 3D (just from an overhead viewpoint). You can zoom in and out of the display. The control modes include 'autodribble' which makes the ball stick to your players feet. More control of the ball can be had by not using autodribble, but control is much more difficult to pick up especially with a joypad. Should be cool with the Playstation arcade joystick though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options screens / ---------------/ Navigate the menu screens using Pad 1.

'autodribble' makes the ball stick to your feet when dribbling. The player currently under control is highlighed by a square around his feet. Directions control the movement of your player(s), you will sometimes appear to be in control of more than one player. Control and dribbling may be a little tricky at first, but you'll soon pick it up. CROSS Kicks, hold down to get more height on the ball SQUARE Passes. (you can swap these around in the Controls menu) If you hold down the PASS button whilst running up to the ball you will hold the ball, where you can change your direction and pass. When KICKing the ball, the longer you hold down the fire button, the higher the ball will go. When the ball is in the air pressing KICK will make your player jump. If he makes contact with the ball whilst mid air he will head the ball. When the ball is on the ground, and not in your possession then pressing KICK will make your player do a sliding tackle. Aftertouch (using the direction controls) can be used to swerve the ball once kicked. eg to bend in a cross or curl a pass around an opposition player. Corners : KICK will play a ball into the 18 yard box in the direction of your controller. Hold down KICK to get more height. PASS will pass the ball to the nearest player. FreeKicks: KICK/PASS will pass the ball to the nearest player. when within shooting area, pressing KICK will shoot at the goal in the direction pointed at, aftertouch will then apply. Penalties: Press KICK to kick the ball in the direction of the moving pointer. Use aftertouch to curl the ball. Goalkeepers are computer controlled, except when the ball is in their posession where you may use the KICK, PASS and direction buttons to release the ball. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In game controls / ----------------/ TRIANGLE - Request a substitution or tactics change.. your team name will be shown in blue at the top, and the next time play is stopped you will be able to change your team & tactics.
