How it works
Draw a tactic. Simulate it. Learn the why.
Tactic Board Football Game turns a coaching whiteboard into a living simulation. Here’s the full loop, step by step.
- 1
Open a scenario
You start each possession with a set position: your attackers, the opposition defenders, and the keeper, laid out on a tactics board.
- 2
Draw your move
Trace a dribble path, tap a teammate to pass, drag a through ball into space, or add a free decoy run to pull a defender out of position. Chain as many actions as your plan needs.
- 3
Pick the finish
Choose who shoots and from where. Tight angles and pressure make it harder — just like real life.
- 4
Commit and simulate
Hit go. The engine animates the move: defenders sprint to close lanes, the keeper reacts, and your pass or shot resolves with realistic, physics-based outcomes.
- 5
Read the result
No hidden probabilities — you see exactly what happened. A blocked lane, a contested dribble, a save. Learn the why.
- 6
Refine and replay
Redraw a smarter angle and try again. Over a match and a season, your tactical reads get sharper.
Why there are no probability bars
Most football games show you a percentage and let you press a button. We don’t. Outcomes in TBFootball come from spatial reasoning: how much space the receiver has, whether a defender can physically reach the passing lane in time, the angle of your shot, the keeper’s position. Read the pitch well and the move comes off. It’s the manager feeling — trusting a plan, not a number.
The engine, briefly
Dribbles use a soft-engagement contest (a defender who barely reaches your path contests weakly; a well-set defender contests hard). Passes can be intercepted if a defender sits in the lane. Shots scale with distance, angle and pressure. Every outcome is resolved server-side so results are fair and identical for everyone — which is also why an internet connection is required.
