On the Ball: League Edition is the English version of a football manager called Anstoss, which has achieved unprecedented popularity on the German computer games market. Ascom's program will allow you to take care of one of the twenty-two teams of the English League and achieve with it the greatest success in European club competitions.

As with other programs of this type, In the Ball: League Edition you have two functions at the same time: club manager and head coach. As far as financial matters are concerned, it will be your responsibility to negotiate favorable conditions for team sponsorship, to set the salaries of individual players and to expand the stadium. On the coaching side it is bowing to send players to fitness camps, separate training in fixed parts of the game (free kicks, penalty kicks, offside traps) and also such an extremely important factor for a professional athlete as gymnastics or regeneration. Also in terms of tactics, On the Ball: League Edition shows a powerful range of possibilities. The player can freely modify the line-up, based on rich player statistics and taking into account the performance in previous performances, determine the way of playing (from calm to aggressive), the formation, etc. The player can also change the line-up, based on rich player statistics and taking into account the performance in previous performances.

A big advantage of the program is its attractive visual setting, both of the matches themselves and the ubiquitous screens with statistics. All meetings are commented in real time in the lower left corner of the screen with the use of text. Apart from the information important for the course of the game, the player will also find here a commentary of fans. Each interesting action is coloured with a decently performed animation and in the background we can hear the sound effects maintained in the atmosphere of a real football spectacle.
