What it's like to play

Scoreboards make everything feel important, and sports games lean on that. A session here is a sequence of short contests, each with a clear result. You learn the timing of a shot or a kick in the first round, tighten it in the second, and start thinking about tactics by the third. Opponents get quicker. The rules stay recognisable. It ends when the bracket does or when you do.
