Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions Cheats and Tips

It is essential if you want to be successful in Captain Tsubasa: Rise of the New Champions that you have a solid last line of defense as this can be the difference between victory and defeat. It is inevitable that there will be times you will lose possession of the ball and will need to get defenders back to block shots. An effective way to do this is to set up the Final Wall Formation.

To set up the Final Wall Formation you need to go to 'Manage Team' before entering the match and then select the 'Change Tactics' option. Here you will be given the choice of four different formations that can be assigned to the d-pad buttons of your controller. Replace one with the Final Wall Formation and select one of your defenders to act as the blocker. Then during a match just press the designated d-button on your controller to perform the Final Wall Formation and wait for a shot from the other team. If the defender you selected is in position a block animation will be shown and the shot will either be stopped outright or weakened considerably.

The V-Gauge fills up slowly over time, it also becomes filled when you perform actions such as tackles, dribble moves or shots during a game. Once the V-Gauge is completely filled you can use it to perform Super Saves and activate V-Zone whenever you feel it will benefit your team. To use your V-Gauge press L2 on your controller.

If you are struggling to score in Captain Tsubasa Rise of New Champions with a standard shot or even a Super Shot then you need to think about doing a hidden shot, keep in mind though that not not every player has access to a Hidden Shot.

These kicks start out the same as any other kick by holding Square on your controller in order to charge the shot on goal. The only difference is that you need to press and hold L1 as you release the charge button. When you then release that left shoulder button you will see the name of the shot change from a Charged or Super Shot to a Hidden Shot. If you let go of the shoulder button before releasing the shot you will not perform the Hidden Shot.
