That's because its not soccer, and its not football. You don't need a timeout, because everytime you encounter a player, the game pauses for as long as you like.

The tackling system is purely symbolic. The reason why a person in front of you can block the ball, even if you're passing to someone behind you, is because the player is essentially covering you. Once you encounter someone, its like man to man coverage. If he's a good blocker, in such close quarters he'll block it, or get a hand on it, no matter where you try to pass it. Likewise, if you chose to "take his tackle", you're essentially fighting off the tackle.

It is just a minigame. Of course it won't play like a PS2 sports game would. If they actually did make a blitzball PS2 game, it would probably have an awesome flow to it similar to that of hockey, and you'd tackle by hitting one of the buttons, pass by hitting another, block if you're in the way, and shoot with another. Then there'd be combinations to execute a sphere or jecht shot.

And yeah, back to the fact that ITS JUST A MINI GAME. It certainly blows triple triad and tetra master out of the water. NO pun intended. As good a game as triple triad is, its just a frickin' card game.

For a minigame, blitzball is awesome. There's so much detail, actually more than any other final fantasy minigame. You build up your players, scout other players and pay them salary, just like a real sports business.

Lolz. Agreed. Even the FFX version is better.

I just dont get how a person behind you can block a shot... And you're facing the opposite way!

People just think it sucks because they never win a match! Gwahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahaah.......I'm following Baku's laughing.

OK, people, BLITZBALL SUCKS! END OF DISCUSION!!!

even the shuffle block mini game in ff1 is better than this garbage.

i figured out why the players can lock all directions if you turn around they would swim under you and thats why they always seem to pop up

:mad: I hate that game in Luca. You cant even let it sit there and wait til its over because it stops time whenever you get near a player. I have given blitzball several chances. I spent the EXCRUCIATING time getting the Jupiter Sigil and all the reels. Im not half bad, either. Its just no fun. RPG fans arent usually big on sports games. :P

This game shouldnt be considered a sport. It should be considered a form of lethal torture.

Blitzball rocks. damn you!

uhum. Ok.
