Captain Tsubasa Ace – Basics
Offense Movements

Let’s start with the basics of the movements of any player you will be controlling in Captain Tsubasa Ace. Although some players have special skills and buttons, we will first discuss the common movements.
The first thing you will notice is the movement analog, which controls the movement direction, which is the most important part of controlling the directions of the players.
On the other side of the screen are all of the other options. Let’s start with the sprint button. Remember that you should hold it to accelerate.

Keep in mind that every time you start the game, you will have to start the match by pressing the “Kick-off” button.
Also, in the bottom middle of the screen, you will find a map that shows the place of the players on your team and the opponent’s place.
In the top left corner, you will find both the team’s names, the score of the match, and the time, which is the important part.
Keep an eye on the timer so that you can know when to be offensive and when to be defensive.

Right above the sprint button, you will find the dribbling button, which is really useful when you are facing a defender in Captain Tsubasa Ace.
Don’t just use it while sprinting in the middle of nowhere, as it has a cooldown; use it wisely while you are just in front of a defender.
Next up is the trick shot. Each character has its own unique trick shot; some can be used from a distance, and some can be used right in front of the goal. We will discuss that later on.
The trick shot takes the place of the normal shot when it’s available for use; you need to hold it down until the bar is full so that you can unleash it.
Remember that all of these options will only be available while you have the ball and are ready to shoot; once you lose the ball, all of these options will be replaced by defensive movements.

All of the movements mentioned above are available while you have the ball near the opponent’s goal.
Now let’s take a look at the movements while you are away from the goal. You will have 3 different movements.
Starting with the short pass, which is about a short-range pass, the long pass is just the opposite of the short pass as it has a long-range pass.
And about the clearance kick, it is used when you are caught up by your opponent and you want to move the ball far away from your goalkeeper.
Defense Movements

Now let’s look at the movements from another perspective, which is the defense movements. Those options would appear when you don’t have possession of the ball.
You will still have the sprint button, but right above it is the follow button. The follow button is used to approach your opponent faster; always look for the right moment to regain possession.

Right below the follow button is the tackle, which is used to tackle the opponent’s player who has possession of the ball to regain possession.
Remember that once you press on it, the selected player will tackle in his place, so make sure to be in the right position.
There is the slide tackle, which is used to slide for a distance and cut the ball, but this must be used while you are facing the player or cutting the ball midway.

Some players would have special abilities in Captain Tsubasa Ace, such as midfielders, such as the flying tackle, which has unique effects.
If you manage to take the opportunity and make a flying tackle, you are more likely to regain possession of the ball.

Moving to the defenders, you will find the “chest block” option, which would be a great option to block an opponent’s shot.
The chest block summons a huge screen from the chest that blocks the special shots.
Also, as you progress in the game, you will unlock more defensive skills, such as the face block.
Captain Tsubasa Ace – Football Field Trial

Starting with the offline mode, which is the football field trial, where you can find different types of matches.
Those are offline matches where you can get tons of rewards, but most importantly, train yourself and your team so that you can win and climb the rank ladder when playing online.
The football field trial contains a passionate journey where you assemble your dream team and start a great and unforgettable journey.
Potential special training is where you challenge the style team to win marks of potential so that you can enhance your players.
Then there are the versatile tactics, where you challenge the genius teams to win rare tactic cards, and the last mode is the Champion’s Road, where you can win the championship and walk the road with Tsubasa again!
Passionate Journey

Let’s start with the passionate journey, which is made up of different stages; each stage has its own rewards.
Most of the rewards would be energy drinks with different rarities; each stage would cost 1 trial energy point.
Trial energy recharges as time passes, but you can always purchase energy points with 20 golden balls, keep in mind that the price increases with each purchase.
Captain Tsubasa Ace – Fan Support

The fun part of the passionate journey is the fun support. Fan support grants you a lot of rewards, such as energy drinks, food, and most importantly, silver balls, so that you can purchase stuff from the shop.
You have a limit of 3 fan rallies per day; each rally grants rewards for 6 hours, and you can get rally tokens by playing the journey.
Each stage in the journey grants 3 stars if you manage to accomplish the 3 missions that every stage has.
And the more stars you have, the more rewards you will get from the fan support.
Potential Special Training

Then we have steel defense, where you can greatly increase the defensive tactics.
Then we have the all-round team, which increases the tactics of the whole team.
Remember that each challenge has its own targets, and you need to reach all the targets in order to claim as many rewards as possible.

Moving to the champion’s road, which is all about Tsubasa Ozora himself climbing up the ladder, getting over challenges, and winning the championship again.
Each challenge would require a different target that must be made by Tsubasa, and you need to reach the target to win the challenge.
Also, the challenges grant some great rewards, such as golden balls.
Remember that, unlike any other mode, you won’t be able to pass to the next challenge until you reach the 3 targets.
Captain Tsubasa Ace – Dream League

Moving to the online part in Captain Tsubasa Ace, where you play against other players, get tons of rewards, and most importantly, climb the ladder of ranks.
There are 2 aspects of the dream league: the offensive team and the defensive team. You should set up both of them.
The first thing you find at the bottom of the screen is the rewards that you get based on your rank and which cup you are in. Keep in mind that there are both weekly rewards and seasonal rewards.
There is “My Lineup,” where you can deploy the best team that you will be playing with.
Then there is the “Defense Lineup,” where you can deploy your dream team that will be defending your goal while you are away.
Season Shop

The first thing you will need to do is level up a player by auto-training it using the EXP you got from playing offline mode.
