We are all expecting this because of the world cup as still there are lots of developers who still wish to include their game on the trends. This is not the first time as we recently published articles under soccer theme such as Soccer Stars and World Soccer Striker and now we are able to witness Soccer Showdown 2015 from Naquatic LLC that you can play with your iPhone and iPad. In this game you will experience playing soccer into a new arcade style goal-scoring competition. Your primary objective here is to make score more than your opponent through goals. Just like the typical soccer game, you can block your opponent offensive goal and drive your way to make goal. Below are some walkthrough guides and tricks of playing Soccer Showdown:
1. Curve the balls as much as possible. This is the most effective strategy in game especially if you are playing with other players who can make a good block out of your push. So the trick here is to make a tricky shot by curving the balls as much as possible and kick it towards goal. Definitely the harder you kick it, the difficult for your opponent to block it. You should consider curving it as far in one direction or the other as possible and if you notice the other player moving around and that is the time that you should read their pattern and kick the ball towards opposite direction.
2. Diverse your kicking direction. We already mentioned about curving your attack and kick the ball towards opposite direction. But actually the most effective techniques that you can use in game is to make dynamics with your attack in terms of direction. Mix up your kicking direction will be a great challenge with your opponent. Don’t forget that in Soccer Showdown, there are several types of shots that you can use such as chip shots that come to be slow bouncy shots and this is extremely effective upon doing it on the perfect timing. You always use this chip shots with hard shots to diversify your attack. When you see that the opposing goalie gloves are moving in, you should try to get the ball to curve in the opposite direction too.
3. Pick your team wisely. If you don’t know what to do in choosing your team, just based it from the little green bar above one particular team’s soccer ball. That will shows you how each team biased towards either attack or defense that corresponding the team is. Definitely the farther to the left that bar is, the better way you can use this team with their offense and technically they are worse when it comes to defense. If happens that it is further to the right, they have a better advantage on defense but technically worse in making a offensive moves. The trick here is to know how you enjoy the game. If you love to see making scores in pushing hard towards your goal, you better go with team having advantage on offensive in the contrary if you believe that defense is still the best offense, you can pick with defensive biased team.
4. Shooting strategy. And because I’m fan of offensive gameplay, I want to share some shooting strategy that you can do to earn score easily. Actually you already had a clue as you start the game since there is a short tutorial about the game’s concept. So when it comes to shooting, the two of the most important techniques are power and curve. Just think about the hard shot moves a lot faster and it is harder to save but then there is a difficulties on it when it comes to accuracy. Keep in mind that if you wish to use fast shot, you need to be accurate especially with the directions. Still in shooting, you can add curve to your shot to trick your opponent so it will be harder for them to predict the location of where the ball is going to end up.
5. Goalkeeping strategy. Whether you like it or not, you need to play the goalkeeping. Yes if you are focus on offensive, you need still to play the game with a good goalkeeping strategy. So this is about trying to save a shot from the opponent as they kicked the ball towards you. Most players play it wronged as they are tempting to follow the ball around. Actually that is the not the best way to save the ball since it might be shot with curve directions towards one area. The trick here is to play the game the way in real life situation. This is to pick a direction before the kick is take and take your chances. One of the best strategy for goalkeeping is to leave a gap in the goal and try to persuade a shoot towards the empty space. The trick here is to shoot for the middle as they will most certainly commit to diving fast towards the corner.
6. Game modes. In Soccer Showdown 2015, you can choose between two options. The first is being Online and another is being League. When you decided to play the game under Online option, you will play it in a situation where you are able to compete against human opponent. This is the real meaning of exciting rush as you can think that your opponent is same with you the way they think in making goal as well as defending their base. When playing with online mode, it is good to put power on your shot. While in the league mode where you are able to play the game with AI and because they are computer controlled teams, you can easily fool them by using less pace on your shots.
7. Anticipate every action. This one of the most important part of the game as a matter of fact this is the game all about – anticipation. You need to anticipate where the ball is going is your key to get the best advantage in game either your defending or attacking. The trick here is to lower your gloves to give you a full picture of the ball and its movement in the field. You must also keep your gloves dead center until the kick is take and with this kind of facing,you can always execute moves fast enough to cover any area of the goal and you don’t need to move the gloves around from side by side.
