Simple and tight controls will give you a variety of moves with a combination of the classic A and B buttons! Play Modes: ■ Exhibition ■ Tournament Features: ■ 56 National Teams ■ 40 Achievements ■ 8 Tournaments ■ 4 Grass Stadiums ■ 4 Alternative Stadiums ■ Formations and Substitutions ■ Curve Shots ■ Fouls, Free Kicks and Penalties ■ Simple controls
