DO I PLAY THIS FUCKING GAME? MY FUCKING TEAMMATES ARE FUCKING TRASH WITH 4 PASSING, 2 ATTACK, 6 ENDURANCE, 7 CATCHING. THEIR TEAM ALWAYS HAS MOTHER FUCKING 18 ENDURANCE FORWARDS THAT CAN BREAK THROUGH 3 SHITTY DEFENDERS I CAN'T EVEN WIN AN EXHIBITION MATCH
You gotta buy that one Ronso near the stadium and the news lady. They will get you to a fantastic start and win you all the matches.
Nolan Williams
Lead the game by one goal. On your next possession, hide behind your own goalie in the net for the rest of the game.
Does that still work in the HD release?
Michael James
Am i about to replay this entire game just so i can win at Blitzball.....Its been enough years that it might feel kinda fresh....i can't even remember 75% of the story other than the major plot points.
Ryder Stewart
No. I beat the fucking Goers 4-0. Now everyone seems to have leveled up and my guys are still complete garbage. Don't even want to play league matches because I can't even win an exhibition against the fucking psyches. It's not a matter of knowing how to play. My guys are just fucking trash. Literally 2 blockers and they fail at ANYTHING. If they can even manage to break through one the other one just has like a 12 block and they have 8 passing or shooting.
Daniel Harris
Replace your team straight away. They're garbage.
William Morales
Then start recruiting the recommended NPCs that everyone uses to blow up the game with
Luca has really good early and mid game players that you don't necessarily have to replace until some of the later temples.
If you're already far past luca + mihen highroad agency then just keep playing until you get airship then you can go back
(Be careful of player locations and the possibility of dark aeons - besiad = usually dangerous after airship acquired)
Austin Rogers
My current team is LF: Tidus RF: Wedge or Shuu Mid: Brother Def: Ropp Def: Kyou Goal: Nimrook
Nathaniel Bell
Tidus Linna Wedge Ropp Larbeight Naida Kiyuri
Charles Rivera
How do you make up for linna's shit EN? I have her as a secondary but god damn it just feels so hard to even get an attempt at a shot.
Christopher Hernandez
>Goal: Nimrook
Dude you're all set. The only difficulty about blitzball is the fact that it takes shitload of games to be able to recruit nimrook
Lucas Scott
Oh sorry I was actually the guy who replied to him earlier.
But yeah I absolutely agree with this guy.
Nimrook is a god send, Jumal is honestly really good up until then with all his skills and gains, but Nimrook completely outshines.
Absolutely lucked out and noticed Nimrook got released when I was in calm lands so I just waited until airship then picked him up.
Aaron Harris
Larbeight gets really good later on. He gets that dodge ability and he's like the best forward in the game
Jackson Roberts
I regret the continued existence of life on this planet every day that Blitzball isn't a yearly iterative game title with update rosters and all the cool game modes that Madden, NCAA, and FIFA get every year.

>YFW no government will fund a real blitzball stadium and give players oxygen masks to make up for not being able to hold their breath for 12 hours
Ethan Watson
Score a single point, then go hide behind your goalie. Players will return to where they started and just swim around in circles.
Liam Moore
Fuck all that. You can win all games with the vanilla Aurochs with little difficulty. Just use the AI bug and get sleep shot on Tidus and/or Wakka for when you have to face the Psyches goalie. Jecht Shot and Aurochs Spirit all of the day.
Joshua Rogers
The Psyches are legit like the best team in the game.
Logan Harris
>he didn't get the jecht shot might as well kill yourself
Samuel Nguyen
You can win with any team IF you're good, getting better players is only needed if you're shit at passing the ball.
Your midfielder gets the ball, first thing you do is pass backwards to a free defender so you've got room to move, then you'll be able to get someone to the goal, pass to them and have them endure only one attack and then score.
Tidus and his jechtshot is a crutch you only use for the first game, get some abilities on Datto and the others and he'll be forgotten.
Use Jechtshot and you won't be getting any of the tackle abilities.
Nathan Nguyen
Thanks famm. This really helps.
Jason Rivera
Should I just forget blitzball until way later? I'm currently arriving at Guadosalam for the first time. I get the feeling I'm supposed to wait til much later and then start recruiting people.
