My highest score, was 13:0. Every point after 10 was excrutiatingly painful to get. That is, to keep beating my record things had to keep going better and better. Had I kept playing and pushed my characters to 99 I wonder if I could've beaten 13.

I just couldn't get to grips with the Blitzball at all! I was so bad at it and I played for hours as well but I guess you are just good at some things and bad at others.
In fact... come to think I am pretty awful at all the mini-games.
Think i got 9:1
If you look at mini-games not as a challange to be overcome, but a game to be played in their own right, then you'll get better at them. The same way you learn what magic and skills are worth using, and when to use X skill with Y character, you'll learn when to use the special shots, and throws and tackles and what passive skills are worth taking. Which players to have on your team and in what position. Blitzball is very deep and well thought out for being just a mini game. If you approach it the same way as you approach the main game, you'll get better.Quote:

Oh no don't get me wrong, I think Blitzball is amazing! I wish it were real, I'd go watch but it's just too difficult for me. I will probably give it a try when I play FFX again but I'm playing FFX-2 again and it's rubbish on that.
15:0 sweet.
Blitzball in X-2 is a totally different animal compared to FFX Blitzball. It focuses on the managerial end rather then the player end.
15-0 was my pesonal best, which I've achieved several times. I can see 16 happening easily, however. Beyond that, I would think the time restraints simply become too radical. Anything beyond 12, really, involves at least some luck. In those games (15), I used only regular shots, as animation for Sphere Shot, Invisible Shot, Jecht Shots 1 and 2, etc. waste too much time. As to the luck, it really depends on how quickly you can steal the ball, and how quickly you can get a shot off.
My best score in FFX-2 was 7-0, for obvious reasons.
Yeah, you need to avoid the animations. Anything that stops play but allows the clock to run will kill your score. Even the opposing goalie can hurt your time if he uses skills with animations.
Very true. That's one of the aforementioned luck elements.
It's been over a year since I've played so I don't remember, could you aquire an enemy goalie when he's a free agent and delete all his skills?
You probably won't believe me but i just recently got 23-0
I won't say it's impossible, but I need some proof. Even if you could produce a screenshot of a score of 20 I'll believe you.
I got 11 one time and I felt quite positive that any higher would be basically impossible, I can't believe some of these numbers.
Luck is a major factor, but knowing how to game the system is a big part of it. Once you're certain of victory you can experiment and find out how best to maximize your score.
