This is a complete list of all the moves you can perform.
Can be executed just b4 the ball hits the ground. The ball is struck harder and it moves a lot faster than a normal kick. It will surprise your opponent and may score you an impressive goal.
Can be executed when the ball is in the air behind the player. Can be used both defensively to clear the area or to score the most spectacular goals.
A lovely little trick to fool the opponent and get a free run or shot.
The aftertouch in Glory is very powerful and will play a major role in free kicks penalties and corners. Also can be used in normal play to demonstrate skill and curling the ball into the corner of the net.
Can be executed when the ball is in the air in front of the player. Scores some magnificent goals.
That extra adrenaline the extra motivation the extra effort seen so many times in real life. In Glory you have just one possible power attack per game per player. Use it wisely - get behind the defence take the ball off the opponent or score spectacularly!
The power attack is only available when the players number is Yellow
A superb manoeuvre to penetrate the defence. Use it to surprise your opponent maybe in combination with the power attack for devastating results!
Try to perform clean tackles and not to foul the opponent. The Ref is aware of the new FIFA rules.
Use this to leave the opponent lying on the floor while giving you some free space But remember sometimes its better to fall and get a chance of a freekick and your opponent getting booked.
Goalkeeper Moves
The goalkeeper can perform a drop kick from any where in the box.The goalkeeper can also throw the ball to a team mate. If one of your players passes the ball back he can't pick up the ball. This means he can dribble the ball up the pitch.
The option of substituting players during the game is useful if you want to improve your game or if you don't like how a player is performing.
You can swap the positions of 2 players to strengthen your position in the area of the field.This is most useful when a player in a key role has been sent off or is injured and can't be subbed. To swap a player you must move the joy twice in any direction. Choose SWAP and press fire. The players number will flash and press the fire button again to select him: Now choose the 2nd one to swap with and confirm.
All games are saved to the games DIR on your root drive. The games have the names Games 01 02 etc..... The menu will feature the two team names the score and who played.
