Speed Ball II

An exciting biff, bang, pow, crunch sports game this may be, but for those of you having trouble blasting your way to the top of the league it's just downright frustrating. Put away your skinny shinpads, strap on this metallic body-armour of a set of tips and get ready to play Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe. To win in Speedball, you have to build a strong team. Building the most powerful team is basically a matter of  getting your priorities right. Firstly, you need to boost the  whole team with Attack, Power then Speed. Next go for  Defence, Stamina, Aggression and Intelligence. The higher teams are contain very powerful players,  so in order to take them on you will need to make sure  that all your players have a healthy power rating,  otherwise you will just get smashed up! In order to pull a decent lead, it's a good idea to go  straight for the score multiplier. However, take care when  playing against intelligent teams, as they will try to  muscle in and use the multiplier themselves. The best  bet is to hurl the ball through the multiplier and stand by  the scoop continually punching. That way you will knock  out anyone who walks close or throw the ball back if  anyone tries to cancel out your multiples. If in doubt,  GET THE BALL AWAY QUICKLY!
