First, let’s try to understand the various game modes Tactical Football has to offer.

Presentation of the game modes

Tactical Football offers 3 varieties of PVP game modes. Let’s analyze them in detail.

Ranked match

Ranked Matches allow you to compete in real-time online matches with users from all over the world. They use calling metrics Classes to represent the strength of users in every season. A season usually lasts about a month. Initially, you would be inside Class 5 amateur. Your rating would increase or decrease based on wins and losses, and the rating value would result in promotion or demotion between classes.

Championship match

Leagues are ways in which you play online, against users from all over the world using a deck of your own creation. You can play against rivals globally using your unique matching deck Rules of the match. Play league matches, you have to join a league. The number of leagues you can participate in at the same time will increase as you progress in class in ranked games. Initially, you will only have access to 2 leagues:

Special match

Special Matches include 3 different secondary modes:

  • Limited time games provide you EA Token And Scout Tickets based on your performance. While EA Tokens can be exchanged for various in-game items, Scout Tickets can help you sign 2- and 3-star players on your side. There are also special completion requirements, squad requirements, and higher difficulty matches to play. The harder the challenge, the more tokens you will receive. Just like in league games, there is a limit to the number of games you can play each day.
  • This is a must play mode every day if you want to build your Ultimate XI soon. They are single player games where some basic and advanced challenges are set to complete. When finished, the tutorials earn you items for player and manager development. Also, you can earn a lot of coins which is the base currency of the game. While training items can be used to level up your players and your manager, almost all in-game spending can be made with coins. So visit this mode every day if you want to efficiently level up your players and managers. A limited number of challenges are available each day.
  • You can play against friends and guild members at any time. This mode is unlocked at level 2.

Player scouting and empowering talents

Through scouting, you can purchase players for tactical points or scouting tickets. Some scouting opportunities are only accessible for a limited time. You will no longer be able to do Specific Scouting after the time limit expires.

Accumulate trading points to sign your target player

Trade points are nothing more than an in-game currency that can be earned by hiring Scouts. Once you have collected a target number of Swap Points, you can exchange them with your target player. The number of times you participate in some Scoutings will determine how many Swap Points you will receive. Depending on how many times you scout, you can trade Exchange points.

The expiration date of the exchange points is the same as the scout. If you reach the maximum amount of Swap Points you can hold, Scouts who award Swap Points cannot be used for scouting until a trade is made. It should be noted that Swap Points are only valid when the Scout is active. They cannot be used for other explorers.

Exchange game items for exploration shards

Scouting Shards can be earned by acquiring duplicate players who have already reached the evolution limit. They can be exchanged for various game items.

Level up your players to improve various parameters

The player level up option allows you to level up your players, which in turn increases that player’s various attributes, thus improving his or her performance in the game.

To level up players you need experience points and coins. You just have to select the level you want to take your player to. If you have enough coins and XP, you can even take your player straight to max level. There may be a lucky return in some cases where some of your XP and coins are returned.

Focus on developing your player’s unique traits

1. Improve your player’s skill moves

Simply leveling up your players is not enough. You also need to improve a player’s skill moves. Skill moves are nothing more than some special skills that are unique to your player card. (the classic Mo Salah, dribbling and shooting, for example).

Improving skill moves makes your player get better and more accurate with those moves. To improve them, you need to compare the tags between the Skill Moves they want to improve with the Skill Moves or Skill Growth items they want to use. If the correct conditions are met, they will be able to spend coins and improve the skill move.

2. Have your player learn new skill moves

You can also let your player learn new skill moves by simply dragging and dropping a skill move into one of the empty slots. When you have an empty secondary slot, you can simply compare the player tag and the tag on the skill move you want to teach your player. When the conditions are met, your player learns skill moves. You need to spend coins and tactical points to teach your players new skill moves.

Leveling up your Coach is just as important

Here is our bonus guide for beginners to quickly assemble their game plan and get the most out of tactical football. The following are some useful tips and tricks from our gaming experience.

1. Choose a Striker as your starting reward

When you start the game for the first time, the game offers you some advanced line players and asks you to choose one as Initial premium. Even though each player is a forward line player, try taking a Forward (ST). This is because forwards in tactical football are equipped with a special skill move to win duels, which is exactly what you need as a beginner. Make sure you activate that skill move once it advances into the penalty area.

2. Complete game missions regularly

Competing them not only gains those game resources but also helps them perform naturally as they play and progress in the game. So, be sure to visit this section when you log in daily and try to complete as many quest sets as possible to get the maximum rewards.

3. Participate in Ranked Matches to level up quickly

Probably the easiest way to level up in Tactical Football is playing ranked games. As discussed above, you will be inside Amateur 5 initially. But, as you win matches, you earn experience points that help you level up. So make sure you play the ranked matches plenty once they are unlocked.

If you put a player in a position that isn’t their favorite, their overall stats and stamina will drop dramatically. So, be sure to line up your player in his favorite / Optimal location. Also, you get a bonus on the player’s stamina when he plays in his favorite position. So make sure you don’t tamper with the player’s position.

6. Plan your tactical moves carefully

I n Tactical football, you play the role of a coach and not a player. It is you who would be asked to answer calls when your opponent is trying to intercept you or perform runs.

  • When the ball is in your defender’s leg and your opponent is trying to steal it, check if there is a player available in-side. Pass him the ball or choose Dribbling to try to Dribble him. When your opponent is on the run, it’s time for you to use your defender’s ability move to stop him. You can also use an intercept or Block command. We recommend using the block command if your defender does not have special moves.
  • When moving to midfield, you can specify both player and position. Find the opening in the defense, then carefully go through it by swiping the screen of your fingers across the open space, until you reach the player who needs to receive the pass.

  • When on offense, the best way to get past two defenders is to use the one-two pass tactic where player 1 tries to advance with the ball but runs into a defender. He gives the ball to player 2 who then continues his run past the opponent. Player 1 runs into the path of Player 2’s first pass and receives the pass into space and past the defender.

  • When your Striker is inside the penalty area, instead of simply choosing to shoot, be sure to use your Striker’s special ability move to increase your scoring chances.
  • When your goalkeeper has to stop a goal, be sure to use his special move as well.

Be sure to teach and equip your players with these skill moves to survive and grow in ranked play.

7. Put your manager’s favorite tactic into play

Similar to players, some coaches also have a special tactic that they can use to influence the outcome of a match if you choose that tactic. Your team’s favorite tactic benefits when you choose the same thing during a match. By raising their level, you can improve your Coach’s favorite strategies.

8. Other miscellaneous suggestions
