Two humans, one screen

Local multiplayer works. Two players, each controlling their own team on a shared screen. Switch players, pass, shoot, tackle each other. The first time the brand promise is literally true.

Day 58TWO HUMANSONE SCREEN

Local multiplayer works. Two humans, one screen, opposite teams.

  • Two players, each controlling their own team: switch players, pass, shoot, tackle each other.
  • A red marker for player one and a blue marker for player two, so you can tell who is who at a glance.
  • Shared screen, not split screen. You are both watching the same ball, so splitting it would just give you half a pitch each.

Go easy on me in the clip. I only own one controller, so I am on keyboard and my opponent has the gamepad.

The brand promise is "eleven fighters on the pitch," and a tackle between two human players is the first time that has been literally true. It is also the first real step toward online: getting two humans onto one pitch is most of the plumbing.
