==Gameplay==
Almost all of the gameplay in the game is controlled by the Touch Screen. The only exceptions are moving a character, which is controlled by the D-pad, and a special form of passing, which uses the L button. This can be switched around with the buttons controlling movement and the R button for passing for left-handed players.
===Offense===
Whenver a character has the ball, he or she is on offense. While on offense if the Touch Screen is tapped, the character will dribble the ball in that direction. Shooting requires an up stroke on the Touch Screen. To pass, the player should swipe the screen in the direction of the player they wish to pass to. Players can also use a higher pass by holding the L button down while passing.
===Defense===
Whenever the opposing team has the ball, controls switch to defense. If the player strokes down, the active character will attempt to steal the ball. If he or she makes contact with the ball, the offensive player will be knocked down. Also, by holding the stylus on the screen, players can form a forcefield, which blocks shots and passes. Pressing the L button on defense will switch control to another player on the team.
