• Manual A: In this control mode you can control your player that is currently in possession of the ball. This will let you move your player according to the map in the corner of the screen.
  
• Manual B: In this control mode you can control your player that is currently in possession of the ball. This will let you move your player according to the the direction of the other goal.
  
• Auto: In this control mode you don't really control like the name "control mode" implies. Here the game or commonly called cpu moves you in the direction you need to go.

• Normal: This is the original formation that your team is set as when you first begin playing the game of blitzball, in which the players on your team remain in their regular spots. They won't pursue the opposing team too far but a little while.
  
• Right Side: Your whole team will mainly stick to covering the extreme right side of the sphere pool.
• Left Side: Your whole team will mainly stick to covering the extreme left side of the sphere pool.
  
• Double Sides: Your whole team will protect both sides of the sphere pool as a mix of both Right and Left sides.
  
• Mark Mode: In this mode your players will follow marked opponents.
  
• Flat Line: You will only have an offensive team and no real defense as they will form a line and move towards the goal.
  
• Center Attack: The player you have assigned to MF possition on your team will move forward and becomes some what of a Center Forward sorta like the RF and a LF.
  
• Counter: You will have only a defensive team and no real offense as they will work more towards holding opposing offense.

• If you choose the shoot option you can use any special shooting abilities you may have, or, if you don't have any it will automatically use a normal shot.
  
• If you choose the pass option you can use any special passing abilities you may have, or, if you don't have any it will automatically use a normal pass.
• If you choose the dribble option it will instantly let you just keep swimming down the sphere pool.

• HP: This is short for of course the same thing as it is in the normal game, which is Hit Points. This is what you use to determine if you can use a certain action. Each and every single action will use HP, and if you do not have the appropriate HP to use an action, you simply don't do it. HP is even consumed when carrying the ball and moving. HP *can* be gained back while moving around freely while *not* carrying the ball, there might be more ways but I am not aware of any at the moment.
  
• Lvl: This is basically what determines how good and effectively your stats are and will be. Everything you act in in a game gains you more EXP which after gaining enough levels you up again.
  
• EXP: This is simply what you gain for doing stuff like passing and shooting in a blitzing game and is what gains you more lvl's.
  
• SH: This is short for Shooting or I usually call it 'shot.' This statistic is ultimately what determines just how fast, and how strongly the ball will head towards the opposing teams' goal. Obviously the more SH you have the better your odds and chances of scoring the goal are. Once the shot has left the shooter the shot stat slowly decreases by 1 every second it is heading for the opposite goal. This stat goes against the CA of the goalie. It may also be lowered if during an encounter a player on the opposite team BL goes against it.
  
• PA: This is short for the passing attribute aspect of blitzball FYI. PA is the stat that makes the decision of how far the ball will go when you try to pass it to another, and just at what speed it will go at. Alot like SH in that reguards. This stat goes against the opposing players' BL stat also like SH. If it makes it to the other player successfully that means it had final stat of above 0, if the player drops it that means it decreased to 0.
  
• CA: This is your catching attribute which also is one of the most very important stats of all them. This is only eloquent for goalies for stopping the SH of the opposing player from going in and scoring on the team. If the keeper's CA stat is higher than the shooter's SH by the time the ball finally arrives at the goal he (or she) will more than likely stop the ball from making it, that is if randomness does not take over the games decision to let the ball score instead.
  
• BL: This stat is evidently the abbreviation for blocking stat which is very important for holding the team with the ball at bay when in an encounter. This is the most relevant to blocking both SH and PA to make it easier on the goalie and to make it harder to get the ball to a receiver. The higher the BL stat, the more chances of successfully stopping the ball. Another info is if BL is higher than PA or SH you may be able to catch the ball. The more players blocking the better your chances.
  
• AT: This is short for the attacking stat, I also call it tackle. This is mainly used during encounters. It is used to try and steal the ball from the currently offensive team. Its opposing stat is EN. If AT is larger than EN than more often than not, the ball will change hands.
  
• SP: This also is probably your most used stat. It is shortened version of Speed. This is the measure of how fast a particular character can move around both when they're carrying the ball somewhere, or when moving about freely.
  
• EN: This is short for endurance is the measure of the damage count that any player that is currently carrying the ball can endure from any other opposing player during an encounter. The endurance of a character subtracts after each hit he/she sustains. This is the stat that is the very exact opposite of the AT (attack) stat.

Info on Encounters and Breakthroughs

• The most opposing players there can be is 5 (everyone except goalie).
  
• I don't suggest breaking to more than 3 or 4 players at one time.
  
• When breaking to many players at one time (3-5) opposing players at a time that your EN be higher than all of there AT stats combined.
  
• The random factor (covered later) is in effect here as well. Now heres some pro info that I have deciphered:
  
• The amount of endurance reduced by ATer's attack is anywhere in between the points of 150%-50% of his/her own AT stat.

Info on Random Factor

• Now let's say that the shot made it to the goal still at 20. Not what you'd think to happen is that the goalie prevents the ball from scoring, but, to your dismay, the shot makes it in! This is due to the random effect.
  
• I will be testing mathematics for this and posting it later on when I'm 100% sure of it.

• Once on lv.3 player finally gains first tech slot.
  
• Once on lv.7 player finally gains second tech slot.
  
• Once on lv.12 player finally gains third tech slot.
  
• Once on lv.20 player finally gains fourth tech slot.
  
• Once on lv.30 player finally gains fifth tech slot.
  

• Automatic Techniques: These are techs that happen when you a particular need or circumstance for it is met. Say when you have a another character attacking you and you have an auto tech on, it unfolds at that moment. Or, when you have a certain percentage of a stat, or when there's a status on, like Anti-Wither.
  
• Repeated Techniques: Techniques that are automatically done, but are not like the Automatic Techs. Say they improve a statistic or an attribute, such as say Golden Arm: it's on the whole match, and it automatically makes PA better. They don't don't eat HP when used, but instead they cost HP to equip... only.
  
• Do-It-Yourself Techniques: These are techs that require two things only: the ability being learned, as well as the right amount of HP to execute it. What these are, are techs that you have to go to menu for and select them for their execution. They can range from anything that's listed in the bottom section.
  
• Status-Inflicting Techniques: The techs that inflict status effects are just what they say. How they work is like a Do-It-Yourself technique. You choose from the menu by either pressing Square button, or, getting into an Encounter. There, you can choose from techniques that can inflict Sleep/Wither/Poison.
  
• Physical Attack Techniques: These Physical Attack techniques, like Status- Inflicting techs, are just what their names imply. It's also a Do-It-Yourself type variation. You go to the menu by Square or you can get into an opposing encounter. Here, you can choose to pass or shoot, tackle, which are physical.
