Football game template
Pass, move into space, shoot. Rocket League (Psyonix, 2015) looks like cars and plays this way. EA Sports FC 25 (EA Vancouver and EA Romania, 2024) is the team sport version of the same space. A through ball that nobody runs onto means the teammates are scenery. There is no football maker page here. Do not borrow the racing templates. Two small teams and a goal will show you if a pass matters.

What makes a football game
Football game: football, or soccer, played as a team.
The games that set the standard are EA Sports FC 25 (EA Vancouver and EA Romania, 2024), eFootball (Konami, 2021) and Rocket League (Psyonix, 2015).
What the template starts with
The football game template starts with one pitch, two small teams and a ball. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: pass, move into space, shoot.
What to change first
Score once from a pass and once by dribbling through everyone. If the second is always easier, the teammates are not a system. Shrink the pitch before you add set pieces.
