DLC teams are purchasable regarding better team stats / unlock cards:

just unlocked the special dlc teams

Seems like there are 3 of them.
Attack Team, Defence Team(1.49 euro each), Nerd Team (2.49 euro)

After buying one of the teams you can fight them in a practice and friendly match. After the match you get the 'recipe' for a special training card combo and the cards for that combo. It is just an added bonus and not a must have since you get the cards anyways during matches.

The only benefit is that you get a new recipe everytime without having to try out different cards.

The nerd team, I don't really know what it does, the describtion says something like that it is a really weak team but they get stronger over time.

-TRAINING & SPECIAL COMBOS-

With each game that your team plays against any opposition, they are awarded cards based on random? situations that arise within the game. These cards are then used to boost your player's abilities once per week. At times when certain cards are combined together in a training session then a special combo is unlocked that will boost their stats more than when a typical card is used.

With the help of the community, here is what we have listed so far:

Dudes!

I've made a Shared Spreadsheet with all the combos in the OP and a bunch from the NPFC thread on Gamefaqs. I haven't filled in the columns for the stats that get boosted as it was getting time consuming, but it's an open spreadsheet, so if someone has the time to start filling them in then go nuts.

1,000 frowns. This looks great.

 

[Robin64]

Reminds me of a Kairosoft game so much. Launch discount is nice too.

Looks like the kind of game you can have on the desk next to you while you do important things on your PC, like work or Photoshop or Warcraft.

 

[ngower]

I need this to come out in the US. Please, NoA! It's also a World Cup year, you can work that into your advertising and sell massive amounts of this game to the influx of new soccer fans that inevitably buy soccer games post-World Cup.

 

[Brazil]

C'mon, NoA. The rest of the Americas are still here.

 

[waru]

Downloading right now!

 

[Ninja Dom]

Yup I just bought this. I won't be able to play it till later but yeah, subscribing.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Downloaded. Bit pricey tho.

Will try to get lots of work done today so I can enjoy it tonight.

Struggling to think of a decent team name.

 

[entremet]

Looks awesome. NoA dropping the ball again?

 

[Makai]

Why no USA?!

 

[Robin64]

You guys get Rusty's Baseball instead. Enjoy!

I'm going with Nintendo Ninja's, if they allow me enough characters.

I want that one more. But this looks fun.

There are a few website reviews. Sorry I'm on my phone but I know at least Eurogamer has one floating about.

[daydream]

Bit pricey.

In what world is 10-15 bucks a high price for what was a full retail release in Japan.

 

[Atram]

lol that's not football, that's soccer

 

[Aostia]

Bit pricey.

not really: it is a full price retail game in Japan, and has tons of contents. if you consider that you start with a poor team (in terms of financial and footballer skills) and has to face various championships and tournaments

I'm really liking it so far. for those interested in Italian reviews:

I kind of want this - America.

 

[Majukun]

gaf,sell me this game
what is exactly good about it?

 

[Matt Attack]

I'm in America, but this game looks pretty cute. I'd love to see them bring it over at some point.

 

[Boney]

The fact that this isn't up for America is a travesty, make use of the World Cup fever dammit.

Somebody post the superplay video it's hilarious

One real Question, is there some World Cup Fever?

 

[Lambtron]

Please, NoA. Let me give you my money for this. I want it so bad.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Oh this is out? I haven't turned on my 3DS in a while, will grab it ASAP.

 

[chickdigger802]

visually it reminds me of that kairsoft soccer game

 

[POWERSPHERE]

A new Nintendo IP! Shouldnt GAF be melting down?
also not up in Australia

 

[Litri]

Are we Europeans gonna get a stats website like the japanese one? Got a couple of friends who played the original and the japanese website is still live after almost three years, LOL!

Are there still people playing the game in Japan?

Yes, but is not working atm.

Second this... We must have this in N/A ... Preferably before the WC.

Nintendo EU have stated they will be setting a website up which I assume should go live too today?

http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/NPFC/enGB/ (still not launched yet but maybe this should be added to OP for when it is?)

Also lol NOE should hold this to ransom till we get Rusty's Real Deal and Disney's Magical World.

 

[sugarless]

Reminds me of a Kairosoft game so much. Launch discount is nice too.

That's because this is a 3DS reworking of a 2006 GBA game which Kairosoft ripped off for Pocket League Story!

 

[Robin64]

Interesting the Japanese name of Calciobit is a mix of two words meaning "a little bit of football". Probably could've kept the term for us in some capacity (though not as the main title).

 

[illadelph]

would buy the shit out of this if NoA would let me

and I'm not even into soccer

Nintendo did downloadable titles for DSi Called "Little bit of Brain Training" and other stuff that came exclusively bundled with DSiXL models. So would sound a little too close to that (even if that's technically already history anyway)

 

[Atram]

Maybe it takes more time because Nintendo needs to exchange every "football" with "soccer" for our US Friends

They need to rename this titel too in "Nintendo Pocket Soccer Club"

 

[Guinness]

Never been so much hurt by my "No box no buy" rule

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Played a few matches so far, it's a lot of fun even if the starting team is rubbish! The card system makes it feel more like an RPG than the likes of Football Manager and the visual style is great too.

 

[Randdalf]

Quick question. I'm out of space on my 3DS SD card, if I delete Ace Attorney to free up blocks will it keep the save data?

 

[Lucifon]

Do you actually 'play' the matches, or just watch?

 

[ShogunDarius]

What are you gonna name your team?
