This game is so underrated! There’s so much going on—from the player AI and physics to the ball control. It’s really impressive. Amazing work and a fantastic jam entry!

Theme Interpretation
I thought about my favorite nostalgic games, plus I wanted to do something with soccer. I remembered loving NFL Blitz 97 so much when I was little so I decided to make an "edgy" soccer game in the style of NFL Blitz. Then M is for Mega lent itself to having a Gundam vibe, full 90s.

I'm not sure if its entirely true, but it seemed like the AIs couldn't score? At least I beat the game without a single AI scoring.
I think they did a good job at evading your tackles, at least for me, so that doesn't seem to really be an issue.
For the AI scoring thing, maybe your goal keeper is too strong? Maybe an idea would be give the player control of the goal keeper as well lol?
Thanks for playing! I had no clue how to make the AI harder initially, but what I settled on was improving their reaction times and run speed. So in the quarters they only update their target position every 1 second or so, in the finals it’s every 0.2 seconds so they’re way better at hitting you with slide tackles. Also they go from running slightly slower than you in the quarters then get faster every round. It was my first time making any kind of meaningful enemy AI so there’s a ton to improve but it was so fun to figure out! Maybe I could have just had stats for the AI with 3 stars for speed and aggression just to communicate what was happening better.
