# Matches

## 3D Simulation

YES!!! You read that right, we have a **3D simulator for every match**. Hop on the time of the match and **feel the emotions in real time**. 

Every match is fully simulated in 3D and you can watch it all in real time and if you couldn't make it, you can always **watch it whenever you want** as matches are saved.

Matches can also be followed in **text mode** and once the match has ended you can **watch the goals** in the **goals tab** and check the stats in the **statistics tab**.

## Tactics

Your team could have the same average as another team but if your tactics are well planned **you can win against nearly anyone**.

Choose among a **wide range of formations or make your own**. Choose if you want your team to play counter-attack or have the ball and many more tactics. Not only that but you can use the **"instructions" tab** to decide **what substitutions will be happening through the game** and what **formation and tactic changes will happen**.&#x20;

All of these decisions need to be done **before the match** so analyze your opposition and **choose wisely**.
