Kick Off 2 - Manual
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Kick Off 2 retains the pace and accuracy of the universally acclaimed
Kick Off. A soccer simulation with a full size multi directional
scrolling pitch and the players, markings, goals etc in correct
proportions. Both teams play the game strictly according to tactics.
Players move into position to receive passes and gain possession. The
ball, as in the real game, travels ahead of the player thus making a
tackle is a matter of skill rather than of chance.
Kick Off 2 like real soccer, requires skills in ball control for
passing, dribbling, shooting etc. Accuracy in shooting, the ability
to swerve or bend the ball to score when taking free kicks needs a lot
of practice. The practice option allows you to practice the ball
skills and set pieces without being harassed by the opposition. Take
your time and posites without being hara you to practice the ball
ctice the skills to perfection. If two players are
to team up, it is an ideal opportunity to practice ONE - TWO up and
down the pitch.
Each player on the pitch has a unique combination of attributes and
skills suitable for the skill level at which the game is being played.
An international is superior to a 4th division player in all
departments.
A host of playing options are provided. One of the most useful
options is the provision to set the skill levels of both teams
independently. A novice with an INTERNATIONAL squad can give a
professional with a 4TH DIVISION squad a run for his money.
There is a league and cup tournament with sudden death penalty shoot
outs in case of a draw. The teams in a league are on the whole evenly
matched but with different styles of play and the player skills to
match that style. There is an option to load your own team from
Player Manager along with you own tactics to play another Player
Manager team in a single game or enter league and cup tournaments.
The of play and ecial events selection in the main menu allows data disks to be
loaded.
Kick Off 2 also provides the facility to change strip colours and
designs. On expanded machines, there are additional sound effects.
The action replay facility allows you to see the goals at normal pace
or in slow motion and compile your own golden goals disks.
There are 24 referees and they have their own distinctive
temperaments. You will soon know which referee turns a blind eye and
which one has a pack of red cards to distribute. On the other hand,
like human beings, they will have good days and bad days. You never
know, you may catch Sean Willis on a good day but Gary Penn -
unlikely!
2.0 MAIN MENU

time match duration is played if the result is a draw after full time.

tournaments.

Choice of 5 skill levels : International, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
Divisions. The attributes and skills of the players correspond to the
division. In a single match, identical squads are presented for both
teams, thus ensuring that the result depends on the skill of the
players only. The skill level of both teams can be set independently.

Each player on the pitch has a unique mixture of attributes and
skills.
There attributes are
PACE - STAMINA - AGGRESSION - RESILIENCE
The skills are
PASSING - SHOOTING - TACKLING
The unique mixture determines the performance of the player. For
instance, a player of great pace but with poor stamina will not
perform well as the match nears the end and should be substituted if
there is extra time in a cup match. Similarly a player with high
aggression will go for a ball and if he has good tackling skills will
succeed in getting the possession but with low tackling skills is
likely to foul the opposition and may even collect a red card if seen
by the referee.

level. Some are more prone than others in disciplinary action. They
can give yellow and red cards.

INTRODUCTION
There are 24 teams competing in the world cup finals. The teams are
organised in 6 groups of 4 teams each. The first part of the finals
is played on a league basis. Each team in the group plays against the
other three teams and a win is awarded 2 points and a draw 1 point.
Goals FOR and goals AGAINST are also recorded. When all groups have
completed the league, the winner and the runner up from each group
goes to the next round of the tournament together with the best four
losers. The 16 teams left in the finals now play on a knock out basis
to the quarter finals, semi finals and the final.
INSTRUCTIONS

and F are displayed. Each group has four countries. You can change
the grouping of any team or all the teams if you wish to do so
provided there are FOUR teams in each group when you finish organising
the groups.
At the bottom of the table there are 4 captions.

The first round of the world cup is played on the league basis.
