INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think This is Football is the best soccer game around on Playstation.
It's better than FIFA 2002 or 98, those are very bad games, nothing
compared to....... This is Football, YEAH. You can do all the things
that real soccer people can do, like headers, volleys, On the run
forward passes, Overhead (bicycle) kicks, Air foot passes and LOTS more.
Trust me it's a great game. If you don't have it yet, check out my
review at the bottom of the page. it aint big, only 2kb in fact. i had
to keep it low, because it would class as a filler.

READ THIS FIRST
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
During this FAQ, I am assuming you are playing a 1-player match against
the playstation, so the opposition means 'The Playstation team'
You will notice in this walkthrough I might call it this is Soccer,
because I live in Australia and that's what we call it, so I don't want
any one E-mailing me saying it's wrong or anything like that. I will try
to call it This is Football. Anway, on with the game.
Thankyou

QUCK MATCH
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Player are put into a match with random selected teams. You can choose
who you play, but is put here for a very quick start if you don't want
all the trouble of selecting teams and all of the options.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOURNAMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are all the tournaments in this is soccer/football and the team I
use when playing the tournament:
World Cup: Play as a team to win the World cup Trophy, Finish it on Pro
to unlock another stadium and Finish it on World Class to Unlock another
special Tournament. I use either Brazil, Argentina or England to play
as.
Euro Cup: You can only choose a European side to play with in this,
because it's the EURO cup (Euro = Europe for all dumb people). I play as
England Usually.
Asia/Oceania: Only Asian and Oceaninan teams can play in this, that's
Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and 4 other teams. I played as
Japan and defeated each team successfully.
American: Not many good teams in this, U.S.A and Mexico are the best 2
teams, so choose 1 of them, this tournament is easy to win.
South American: Good teams in this, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay are
pretty good, so use them. This one will be a bit harder to win if you're
not Brazil if you're not Argentina or Brazil.
Tournatments are played in groups of 4, where each team plays each other
once. Just like this:
TEAM PLAYED WON DRAW LOST FOR AGAINST POINTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Australia 3 2 1 0 6 3 10
Brazil 3 2 0 1 4 2 8
Cameroon 3 1 0 2 3 4 4
Nicaragua 3 0 1 2 2 6 2

teams I chose were Random.
* None of the For or Against figures are really right.

PLAYING TIPS
***********************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYING TIPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- When heading the ball in your attacking half (Normal X header),
heading it towards your goal isn't always the best solution, as
sometimes you might not have any of your men there.
- Use Square to do a bicycle when the ball is up in the air near the
goals, this doesn't usually score, but fun to look at the guy that
looks like he is tripping over.
- When near goals, but not close enough to score, use R1 + X to do a
through pass (on the run foward pass). The guy could be open for a
goal or the keeper will get down to it.
- When the ball is in your defending half near goals, don't use the R1
+ X pass out to clear the ball out, because it will usually be
intercepted
- If trying to cross the ball into the goal square and not to the
keeper, get on the side and then use O + _| (up and left if your
goal is to the right of screen. This will cross it just inside the
box.
- Usually guys along the wing are open, pass it to them and maybe they
could get a cross in and............
- If your team mate shoots, and the keeper hits it back out and falls
into the back of the net, just shoot if you get the ball again, just
press square, don't worry about power or moving closer, just shoot.
- The Knock Ahead can be useful if you are near goal, and there are
denfders. Wait to they are about to tackle you, and then press
triangle and if they still tackle you, then you will likely get a
free kick, and who knows what that can lead to.
- Getting the ball from the poosition in the start is the key thing.
So, never let the opposition get up forward in the game. Always try
to get them near the halfway line.
- Don't waste your defenders. So, don't always bring people forward,
save them so that they are back instead of always brining them up
forward to tackle everyone.
- If you want to srpint, then you have to quickly tap down the triangle
button. So, rapidly tap triangle when you need to. There is no use
rapidly pressing it and hurting your fingers when you really don't
need to.
==============================================================
***********************************************************************
GOAL SCORING TECHNIQUES
***********************************************************************
Here are my best ways to score a goal:
- When near the goal, use the directional buttons rapidly to swerve
around the opponent, he will slide and take time to get up, Leaving you
for an easy shot if he is the only defender.
Amateur:
Goal: 70%
Intercepted: 10%
Another defender gets back quickly: 20%
Pro:
Goal: 50%
Intercepted: 30%
Another defender gets back quickly: 20%
World Class:
Goal: 45%
Intercepted: 30%
Another defender gets back quickly: 25%
-When the goalkeeper is about to throw the ball out, press R1 + X and
into the keeper.
- When shooting, just before you kick the ball, press the way you want
the ball to go, e.g: If you have the normal camera, use up to aim in the
top corner.
- When between the halfway line and the foward box, pretend to go
backwards, then use a on the run foward pass. If succesfull, you can get
an easy goal, but sometimes different things happen:
Amateur:
Goal: 50%
Intercepted: 30%
Offside: 10%
Pro:
Goal: 25%
Intercepted: 60%
Offside: 15%
World Class
Goal: 10%
Intercepted: 75%
Offside: 15%
- (This one is usually done on 2 player on the same team) If you start
with the ball, get the 2nd player to go back, then get them to use
Square to shoot it up, it wont get to the goals if you go back. The ball
will go to a defender that is controlling it on his leg. About 2
microseconds after his done that and has it on the ground, tackle him.
If he is the last line of defence, you will have a good shot a goal. If
you do it at the wrong time, it's a yellow card.
Amateur
Goal: 60%
Another defender back: 20%
Don't control it like that: 20%
Pro:
Goal: 60%
Another defender back: 15%
Don't control it like that: 25%
World Class:
Goal: 40%
Another Defender back: 40%
Don't control it like that: 20%
These are my best ways, all percentages are what I got so there probably
not really correct. If you know a new way, please E-mail it to me at
[email protected]
It really depends on what team you use to get these ratings.
So don't go e-mailing to me that you got different because I don't care.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
FREE KICKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A free kick happens when you are hacked down and you don't have
possesion of the ball, be carefull when tackling computer players
because they trick you.
Controls:
Square: Shoot the ball if it's close to goal, or it will do a quick, low
lob if you are past halfway to the oppositions shooting way.
O: Lob the ball up field, if your close to your goal, don't use it. Best
used if you get a free kick in your defending goal.
X: Pass the ball to a closeby teammate. Aim to where he is and press X.
Mostly used if near goal and the wall is set, everyone will be at the
wall, except some opposition and your team.
Use a free kick wisely, if close, use square full power to shoot, aim in
a corner. You must be at least a bit from the box to shoot, otherwise it
will go over the top and you have missed your chance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CORNER
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A corner happens when the opposition kicks it out on there defending
face of goal. To take a corner, use these controls:
O: Use to lob the ball in the desired aimed direction. Hold down to set
power level.
X: Pass the ball to a close team mate. O is better.
if you hold it down too long, you have ruined your chance of a goal. In
the middle of the power bar is good.
On the recieving end of a corner:
Square: Bicycle (Overhead kick) towards th goal
X: header the ball out
You can never just get control of the ball when the corner is in,
someone at least head buts it.
Never aim the corner near the keeper, he will get it and you can't score
a goal......................................................
...........................Unless................
Here is how:
Nah I wont give away that BIG secret. It is somewhere in this FAQ, look
around.
Clue: H.T.S.G (how to score goals)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

PENALTIES
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Help! I don't now the penalty controls, there to hard. If someone would
like to help me, please e-mail me with the controls my e-mail:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTANT REPLAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A replay happens when you score a goal OR the opposition scores a goal
OR you can just view the last 10 seconds of play by pressing start and
going to Replay, here are the controls:
X: Play the Replay in mormal speed
O: Fast Foward the replay
Square: Fast rewind the motion
Triangle: Pause Replay
R2: Rotate Camera Right
L2: Rotate Camera Left
L1: Zoom camera in
R1: Zoom Camera out
Select: Change Camera
Start: Menu (Continue Game, Replay or Save Replay)
If you save a replay, it takes up 4 blocks on your memory card, is it
worth keeping it on your memeory card. Who would think 11 seconds of
play takes up 4 blocks, thats about 1 block for every 3 seconds. It must
be a really gooooooooooooooood goal if you want to keep it on your
memory card.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MY FAVOURITE TEAMS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brazil: Great team, I always use them in World cups or Exhibition
matches, I never lose, Except for once against Argentina, I still think
they cheated, I couldn't of got a yellow card when I tackled him and he
had the ball, tey jipped me fully! They ended up getting a penalty and
winning 1-0 (This was on Pro)
Argentina: To me, they are a side that cheats, especially against
Brazil. But they have a good Foot over ball technique where you can't
use Square to tackle them or you will get a yellow card.
Germany: If started playing with them alot recently, probably due to
them coming second in the world cup. They mostly use that goal technique
with pressing all the buttons to get around the opponent. My brother
says is called a 'Blitz Kirg'
England: Great team all around they have alot of great players, my
favourite is Owen, he always scores a goal in all of my matches.
Japan: Good at everything, great at passing, shooting running and there
keeper is reall good too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IN GAME MENU
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Press start to bring up the menu
Menu Options:
Formation: Change your formation and strategy. If you find a team is
good at attacking, you might want to change your way to Defend.
Substiustion: Swap a player for another player on the bench. The player
that was on the bench will then go on the field and vice versa. You
usually substitute people if they are tired, injured or have a card.
Replay: View the last 10 seconds of play, you might want to view
something good that happened a second ago or something.
Camera: Change the camera and it's zoom position. Default is Side
Normal. If you change the setting and don't save it, it will stay as
Default next time you turn off the Playstation and turn it back on
again.
Controllers: Choose what colour is on what team. Left is Player 1, Right
is Player 2 and in the middle is Computer controlled. Simple.
Abandon Match: Quit match. In tournaments, if you abort, the other team
will automatically win by a random amount.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAYER EDIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this is football, you can change your player names and team names. Go
to edit teams and choose a country league team, like Newcastle. Now, you
can change your player names and edit player skills, hair and all that
sort of things. I don't usually make up a team, because I already have
my favourites.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TROPHY CABINET
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Each time you win a tournament or league, you get a trophy, it will be
placed here. It automatically saves your trophy cabinet to your memory
card. So once you finish World cup, you win a trophy. And if you want to
play a South American cup, you can overite the data of the world cup
instead of having 2 different blocks for 2 different tournaments.
You have to save the trophy cabinet for your trophys to count. So, when
you save the trophy cabinet, you can then delete all of your tournament
blocks (but not the trophy cabinet) because all of your hard work will
show on your trophy cabinet.

This is Football is a Football game (Soccer). You play in competitions
to win cups and trophys and try to build yuor trophy cabinet as high as
possible.
Gameplay 9/10
The controls are easy and include all the things you can do in real
soccer, such as pass the ball, lob, shoot, slide tackle, conservitive
tackle, hook tackle, foot smuther, headers, volleys and lots more
special moves. The only bad thing about the controls is that most
commands take longer than usual to do after the button has been pressed,
this is critical if you need to clear the ball straight away. It has got
a superb shoot style though.
Graphics and sound 9/10
Graphics are normal, nothing to rave about. But there isn't really much
to see about the graphics, all you see is the grass and the crowd, so I
had to score it on that. Players look very real, they have gone in
detail with there faces and beards and shirts. Sound Effects are what
you would expect from a real soccer game, the ball hitting the bar, the
foot hitting the ball and alot of other things.
Features 10/10
In This Is Football, there is over 10 leagues and 10 tournaments,
including all the spectacular cups such as the World Cup and the Euro
cup and all the continents' cups. The leauges has the English League,
German league, Spanish, Portugese and alot more. Also the whole game is
two player either against. It is also 2 player, either against each
other or both on the same team, you can also use the multipad to connect
more controllers to let some more friends join in and play. Another
great feature is that you can make and create your own team and
customise their name, position, number, hair colour, shirt colour and
lots lots more. The game also handles a Analog control if you want to
play with it.
Playable 10/10
I have never got bored of this game and still play it often, it's fun
and addictive if you love soccer, so enjoy. Once you get into the game,
you will enjoy it alot and want to play it 24/7. I still play ot often
and don't get bored of it. Iove this game!
Overall 10/10
Due to all the features, I will give it a 10/10
A must buy for anyone that likes soccer games.
Trust me, it is great.

GETTING CARDS
***********************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
YELLOW CARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You shouldn't want to get a yellow card, but here is what to do if you
do want one.
* Tackle someone without the ball, mainly if they have just passed it
off to someone. Then slide in and tackle the person who just passed
it off. When you tackle the opponent, then press square, because that
is the worst out of the tackles that can be done. You are certain to
get a yellow card if the ref difficulty is on reasonable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
RED CARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Do a delibrate foul. Thhe deliberate foul must of been put in the
game for fun reasons, because there really isn't any other point to
it apart from commiting something bad. But anyway, go up to the
opponent who has the ball, and press R1 + Square. The referee will
come over and book you straight away.

INJURIES
***********************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This section will describe what is an injury, how to get an injury and
all those sort of things to do with an injury. I think we all know what
Injury means. In case you don't, it means when you get hurt badly.
This can include stuff like breaking off your leg, arm or anything else
that would hurt very much.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PREVENTING
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THere really is no way that you can prevent an injury to happen, unless
you can dodge all of the tackles. So, if you want to protect your
players by not getting injured, never let the opposition do the sqaure
tackle on you. If they do, this can cause abit of an injury.
If they do that same tackle on the same guy about 5 or more times, then
that player can start to be injured. So dodge all of the tackles when
they come for you, but mainly just the square type of tackles where they
use both legs and sounds like it hurts when they slide in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUSING
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a safe way, and an unsafe way to do this. What I mean by "Safe"
is not to get ed carder, and "unsafe" is the way that you get down to
ten men.
Here is the unsafe way:
* Perfrom the deliberate fould. TO do the deliberate foul, then press
R1 + square. This will immediately get you a red card, as well as
severely injure the player that you fouled. Note that not all the
time the injured player is fully hurt, it may take some more tackles
after that for them to actually get injured and me taken off.
Here is the safe way:
* Always use the square button to tackle. That is the one where you
slide in with two feet and hit the ball away from you when you
tackle. Keep doing this on the opponents every single time and after
some hits on the same person, they will start to limp around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBSTITUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what makes injuring people pretty much pointless. WHen someone
is injured, they can just be replaced by someone else on the bench. So,
there really isn't any need just to go around injuring people, but it is
fun mind you.
It still is fun if youn find like a star player and want to injure him,
like Ronaldo.
