Thanks Hellcrypt,

yes a mini-map is planned allright.
About the players speed you mentioned i try to make it the most realistic possible: each player has allready individual skills like speed, stamina, kick force, etc., so each player is different and is possible that some players are faster than others.

Also, in real life when a soccer player has the ball in possession and dribbles usually he´s slower in progression than others, cause he needs to control the ball in movement.

I think the dribbling skills will be a pain cause it will evolve very detailed animations cycles and i dont have a motion capture studio (unfortanly) and buying motion capture files (.bvh, .bip ...) its like buying GOLD.
If someone has some motion capture files related to soccer drills / movements and wants to contribute i will apreciate it much..
