How to Play Powerball
Quick start
Choose a team and move the ball toward the opposing goal with throws, kicks, and physical attacks. Charge an action until the indicator flashes when you have space, but release quickly under pressure. On defence, switch to the nearest player, cut off the carrier, and attack to force a loose ball; two-player matches reward passing before a tackle arrives.
Controls
D-pad: Move the athlete. On offence, A kicks, B throws, and C attacks. On defence, A performs attack 1, B switches players, and C performs attack 3. Hold an action to charge until the indicator flashes, then release. Start: Pause.
