Gameplay video:

Action button:

It depends on how long holding the action button the player will make a pass or a shot.

To pass, look at other player from your team and make a quick hit, the player will try to make a pass to the foot, but keep in mind that the pass may miss.

To shoot on goal or make a long pass, hold down the action button while the strength bar fills (at the bottom of the screen).

If ball is steal from you while you are holding the button down your player will stumble and fall to the ground.

When you shoot you have tenths of a second to turn the shot by pressing left or right (banana shot).

You can make a tackle or header if you don't have the ball.

Goalkeepers:

Speccy Soccer has the best goalkeepers. You will have to be very skillful and fast to score a goal for them. They move automatically by the AI until they get the ball and pass control to the player to serve.

Special keys: 

When game is stopped you can use the special keys:

• CAPS SHIFT: The coach requests substitutions to the fourth referee. This enter squad selection screen to make changes and later return to match
• X: Switch in-game music / match ambient

Team control:

Speccy Soccer allows 4 simultaneous players, 2 on each team. Remember redefine keys/joysticks before playing.

Just move left or right to place yourself on the team you want to play. Each player has a geometric figure at the feet of the player they control.

Speccy Cup:

Select 4, 8 or 16 teams to prepare the great Speccy Cup. You can play with your favorite team, watch the next match or just skip to result. In each knockout phase the AI skill will be increased.
