Home field advantage allows you to have priority on the ball 100% of the time. For example, if theres a free ball in the air and both players perform an action on the ball at the same time (passing or shooting), the player with home will get the ball every time, while the away player's character will whiff on the ball. There are factors that affect home advantage however, such as timing and position.
We're glad to have you. At Str1kr.com, we have the best players in the world. Throw everything you know about ranked out the window - the competition here is intense.
