Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions Gets A Major Update And New DLC

Bandai Namco has dropped new content for Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions in the form of a free update and new paid DLC. For those of you who have been enjoying the soccer matchups and getting in all of the competition you can through the storyline, we got good news there’s a new update that adds Freestyle Match to the game. Wins and losses will now be decided by ability in this mode, along with some other fun mechanics as you can use a speed advantage, dribble or dush with the ball. You can also kick opponents and run through to the goal, however, occasionally that will lead to a disadvantageous situation and all your efforts can be reversed by one shot.
