3. Touch line
4. Goal line (End line)

Match Time
The playing time for each match can be set to 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes. Match times can be changed using the Environment Settings in each game mode.
Extra Time
Golden goal/silver goal extra time and penalty shootouts are available depending on the Game Mode. It is possible to enable/disable extra time, golden goal/silver goal extra time, and penalty shootouts for Exhibition Matches.
Extra Time Rules
•
Golden Goal: The team that scores first in extra time is the winner, no matter how much time remains.
•
Silver Goal: Play continues to the end of each 15-minute half (first or second half). If one team has more goals at the end of the half, they are declared the winner and the game ends.
Yellow Cards and Red Cards
Upon committing a foul, a player may be shown a yellow or red card by the referee. If a player is shown a red card, he must immediately leave the game.
If a player is shown two yellow cards in the same match, he automatically receives a red card and is sent off. Players who receive a certain number of yellow cards over the course of a tournament, or a red card, must sit out the next match.
Offside
If, at the moment a pass is made, the receiving team-mate is upfield of the ball and has less than two opposing players between himself and the opponent's goal line, that player is declared offside. A free kick is then awarded to the defending team.
Maximum Number of Substitutions
For Exhibition matches, you can select from three to seven substitute players for a match.
For Cup matches and League matches, the maximum number of players that you can change will be three. In the Master League, you may have three substitutes for regular matches, but for pre-season matches, the maximum is seven.
Out of Play
"Out of play" refers to times when the game is stopped for corner kicks, free kicks, goal kicks and penalty kicks.
Injuries
You can change the settings so that players can be injured when they are tackled. Players can suffer both light and heavy injuries, indicated by the yellow or red cross icons that appear on the screen.
Lightly injured players can continue to play, but their performance will be considerably hampered. Heavily injured players are no longer capable of playing and must immediately leave the pitch.
In League matches, Cup matches, and the Master League, injuries require a number of matches before they heal. A player who has recently recovered from a light or heavy injury is marked with the "recovering icon". The performance of recovering players is less restricted than that of lightly injured players.
The Player who has returned after an injury, could be marked with an Injury icon. This player's performance will not be lower than the lightly injured player.
Players might not realize that they have been injured right after an injury. You might see some players hurt on the pitch during a match. Usually, the ball is kicked out of play, so that the injured player can be examined for treatment. The restart of a match is normally done by the opponent returning the ball, (such as long pass) back to the opponent. This is considered as Fair Play.
Drop Ball
During play, when a player is injured and unable to move, the referee might stop the match. After the treatment of the injured player, the referee starts the match by dropping the ball on the pitch.
Forfeited Game
If the number of players on a team falls below seven before or during a match, the match is declared forfeit and the team officially loses by a score of 0-3.
Multi Play
When playing cooperatively or against each other, you need an additional controller and if more than 2 players, "Playstation 2" Multi Tap (sold separately). Insert the Multi Tap in either the ports of controller one or two, and connect the controllers to 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, 1-D or, 2-A, 2-B, 2-C, 2-D. You will be able to play up to 8 players.
