    I love Active Soccer 2!
    A couple of consideration and a suggestion :)

    1- Please, revisit formation/tactics on iphone. I love tactics page on tablet, but on smartphone is a bit tricky. First you have the formation screen, but you skip it, because first you need to adjust tactics and then formation according to the new tactics :) A solution could be reproduce the tablet formation/tactics page, using a different size font. Or simply add a button tactics to formation page and a button formation to tactics page.

    2- You should really port it to Wii U. There is no soccer game on Wii U, it could sell well, IMHO.

    3- Any news about Mac version release date? (Also, no soccer games on mac :)

    There is a huge difference, they use 2 different communication protocols.

    And one more thing (actually 4) I was thinking about to make the game even more fun, it would so cool to be able to control the player after scoring! For example you could give us two choices, press A to do the usual celebration or B to do another celebration, for example run and dive, or touch nothing and let us control the player run for a few seconds, I would love it so much! The other thing would be a "dribble button" to perform one or two different tricks, like Zidane's roulette, or the parachute (small lob over one player), or a panenka for PK
    3rd it would be nice if we could create or own players or our own teams.
    And finally, add a ref and lines men on the pitch, with maybe the subs and the manager (I would love to see a manager running to the 4th official to complain about cards or fouls just like Mourinho or Ferguson in the past ^^ that would make the game so alive!

    Thank you very much!
    1. Believe me, it is impossible to implement both tactics and lineup in a tiny screens like phone. It is impossible to interact with all these elements, they must be split in 2 different pages.

    2. There could be some great news in the following months, so stay tuned!

    3. I will submit the Mac version during this week, so expect Active Soccer 2 on Mac in about 3 weeks.

    You can keep going back and forth between line-up and tactics already I think, using OK and back. But not sure as I just use tablet view on my phone

    Also you can already perform a panenka pk by using the pass button, I included one in the video. I love that you can do this (and that lower players will mess it up)

    These are good idea.
    I am only doubtful about adding a third button, I for example am a bit lost while playing FTS because I always need to look the screen and buttons layout before pressing buttons.

    A third button is not necessary please people stop wanting this to be Fifa... All i can say is I am totally glad it's not Fifa and it plays very nice and it takes some time to get the hang of things but I am enjoying the old school Nintendo A/B button sequence.

    Please, no dribbling button. Whoever wants to play a FIFA/PES soccer game, there are tons around. I hope you leave the gameplay as it is right now.

    It's still not very clear to me. Right now I am mid season and I have many players like that. Does that mean that they should take a break for a few games?

    It means they are playing below their true level (lower attributes). Players with up arrows are performing above it. The difference is surprisingly noticeable in-game. A player on an up arrow will be faster and better than he would normally be. There are probably lots of different approaches to juggling your squad based on this.

    Things I have noticed that appear to affect the arrows: scoring lots of goals. Playing too much. Playing too little. Joined a bigger club or joined a smaller club. Randomness

    So then the arrows are kind of useless, because they could mean anything! :confused:

    Maybe Gianluca could tell us how they work exactly.

    Anyone remembers that goal of Van Persie on the WC against Spain?

    Well, I did it!

    But what they definitely mean is that players on bad form perform worse than normal, and players on good form perform better, and this might influence your team selections. Just the same as PES/FIFA lately
