Minute by minute
Choose two teams (national teams, clubs or your latest draft) and watch the match with commentary, stats and cards in real time.
Set up the match
Interactive mode: you decide
If you turn on “Control the home team”, every time your team gets a clear chance the match pauses and you choose: shoot, pass to a better-placed teammate or take on the defender (and maybe win a penalty). When you shoot, a bar appears: stop the needle in the green zone, whose size depends on your player's shooting. On penalties you pick the post and the power; when the penalty is against you, you decide which way your goalkeeper dives. At half-time and in the 75th minute you choose the tactic.
How is each minute simulated?
Before kick-off we calculate how many goals each team is expected to score based on the level difference. Then, every minute, there is a small chance of a goal, shot, corner, foul or card. A sending-off reduces the attacking power of the team left with ten and increases the opponent's. Possession fluctuates around a value that depends on the level of both teams.
