I've recently come back to my FFX-2 "Perfect" file and the first thing I wanted to do was finish the process of getting a "perfect" blitzball team, because I had been very close to accomplishing that before I abandoned the game in favour of playing something else.

I first discovered Blitzball a long time ago in its original shape (in FFX). At first, I didn't understand it very well and couldn't beat the Goers in the first match, but ended up playing it a lot and knowing it well.

I made many attempts to have a perfect file in FFX but never had the patience. The furthest I got was to a team average of around 65-70 (when Nedus reaches maximum speed). Passing around for experience was extremely tedious and I just never made it. My team was: Larbeight, Nedus, Vuroja, Kulukan, Ropp, Nimrook. I planned replacing one of the defenders with Nav Guado. Pretty standard, really.

In X-2, maxing a single player's stats was a much quicker process and I could actually do something else, i.e. read a newspaper, while mashing X (in X-2 you spend most of your time mashing X in the Train menu, at least I did). It was more bearable and I felt like I could actually reach the end here, and I did.

My team is:

Star Player - slightly above average speed, good starts for a shooter, okay overall stats. One could find better forwards but I wanted to have him because of his storyline importance.

Berrik - very good speed, 99/255 almost everywhere. Could make a better goalie than Yuna (the same could be said about Lucil, Yuyui and 2-3 other players in the game).

Yuyui - with 99/255 in every stat is a solid midfielder.

Lucil - 99/255 everywhere and 77 RCH. Easily the best player in the game.

Lakkam - has an amazing RCH of 90, which in addition to max ATK and BLK make her the best defender in the game.

Pretus - excellent defensive stats, above average RCH and a spectacular speed, a personal favourite. He's also Bickson's clone, which is lame.

Suzam - great defensive stats and a RCH of 80. Her PAS is the lowest in my team, but it's hardly noticeable for a defender.

Yuna - one of the best goalies in the game. After intensive training, she has max PAS and CAT (most importantly), as well as a great RNG (the third of three stats that matter for a goalkeeper).

In this video, Yuna makes a long pass to Star Player who for some reason fumbles this ball. I'm not sure why it happens, as it's not supposed to.

A lot of things doesn't make sense in X-2 Blitz, e.g. a player with an ATK of 20 can take the ball away from a shooter with 99 END without any pressure plays. I think this unpredictable element makes more sense if you remind yourself that the other teams don't grow and need to have at least *some* chance to win or score.
