What is the wall zone all about? What is it for? I rarely ever let my kids play with the wall zone because it doesn't make any sense to me.

I might stand corrected but.... I think it's for aim, kick power and accuracy. Plus you get to hear the glass break if he misses the wall. Hearing that noise is why I train. Razz

keep plugging away. The more you train the better your team gets. I'm sure you know that from your BB experience. I have no clue as to how footy works. I'm currently 8* and in the 4th PL.
I enjoy it though. Very glad it's back.

There is an FAQ? Where? I know I sound like a n00b sorry. I can't get my kids past 6* and I've had them for forever. I'm in pl4 and they really suck.

192320 go ahead and kick there butts. They really seem to enjoy loosing. They are so good at it.

Edited

Never mind I found the FAQ damn I learned a bunch reading that thing. Now I can suck at training them. I have knowledge of the game now I just have to screw up with doing with what I think is right. lol

Drunk

Here's to SmallBall Footy. The only game I don't know much about but it's my favorite. Is that weird or what?

HMMMM I must have taken my meds already I can't stop talking. Oh there goes Ginger telling me to shut up. lol I talk while I type. lol

Thanks Bailey I do use that area. The only area I don't normally use is the wall zone. I'm useing it now but I'm still stuck at 6*. I'll get there. I just have to learn more about the game and find were my kids belong on the field. I do know that I have found my goal keeper though.

Don't forget the reaction zone too. It's kinda hidden. It's at the end of the running track where the cones are.

Yeah I got the reaction zone I train in that like once a week. I've also switched back to a 4-3-3 formation.

the wall zone helps your interception along with your kicking. the better u are at aim/power, the more it's gonna help your interception since he will be kicking it straight back at himself, or at least close to himself.

Trab,

What is your opinion on the advantage/disadvantage of the wall zone vs. the kick power zone and the aim zone vs. the pass zone. My thought is the kick power zone provides a bit more kick power boost, while the wall zone provides increases across a greater number of skills (i.e. interception training).

The aim zone provides increased aiming skill, while the pass zone provides increases across a greater number of skills (similar to kick power vs. wall).

What do you think? Does this sound accurate, or am I really off-base?

right now, i do not use the wall zone because i just got back to training and trying to find the people's right positions all over again. but i mean, you pretty much got it, althought i never really use pass zone or whatever that thing in the middle is called.
