You are one player — the one with the yellow ring. Your teammates hold their shape and play around you. If you leave the controls alone, auto-pilot keeps you in position until you move again.
As captain you take them. Drag on the pitch to move the target in the goal, slide the curl bar to bend it, then hold STRIKE and let go in the white zone.
Play on the studio's servers. Quick play puts you in the busiest one with room, or pick one below. The AI plays everyone else.
Quick play is a friendly: the server picks the clubs and kicks off once you're in.
One phone or computer hosts and runs the match; everyone else joins with the room code. Up to 8 players: pick a side each, on the same team or against each other. The AI plays everyone else.
