Controls
========

Use the joystick /keyboard keys to move your player. Button one on
the joystick makes your player pass the ball and button two instructs
him to shoot. Your selected player will be highlighted on the pitch.


Passing and Shooting Techniques
===============================

Key: Dir = direction determined by joystick/keyboard movement.
     B1  = shoot button/key one on joystick/keyboard.
     B2  = pass button/key two on joystick/keyboard.

Normal pass - Dir+B2

Normal shot - Dir+B1, you can also use aftertouch on this type of
shot by moving the direction of the player before B1 is released.

First Time Touch - When a ball is passed to a player the highlight
around his feet is a star, this is when you can make the first time
touches. Hold B2 and keep the joystick centered and then release the
button and the player will shoot at the goal.

Disguised pass - B1+B2+Dir, hold down both buttons then select a
direction and release B1.

Chip Shot - B1+B2, hold both buttons down, then release B1 to chip
the ball forward. The power of the chip is determined by the duration
the button is held in before it's released.

Dummy pass - B2+Dir, hold B2 and select a direction and release B2 to
pass to a team mate. Your player must be standing still to make this
pass.

High pass - B1+B2, hold both buttons then release B2 to make a high
pass to a team mate's head.

Power pass - B2, kick forward along the ground. The power of the shot
is determined by the duration the button is held in before being
released. Use Dir to select the direction of the shot if you wish.

Power shot - B1. Your player must be standing still to make this shot.


Sound/Commentary
================

The Actua Soccer commentary system uses a method of pulling each
commentary sample off the CD or hard drive. For obvious reasons 
loading the speech off the CD Drive takes longer than from a
hard disk drive. On the minimum install option you may experience				 
a slight pause everytime the game looks for a different sample. 
This is because the Minimum install option requires the game to 
load every sample from the CD. The Medium and Maximum install				   
options copy more samples to the hard drive and therefore will
remove the pause.
