If you came to this site I suppose you already are an advanced
Emlyn Hughes I.S. player. If not, then please refer to
http://personal.inet.fi/surf/kjuh/eh_load.htm for a complete
game manual.
Q: How many parts of the body is it possible to score with?
A: One of the reasons why EHIS is a masterpiece relies in the fact that
it is virtually possible to score with every part: feet (of course),
forehead, thigh (if you intercept in tackle a high-speed ball), nape,
chest, back.
There is actually a very rare but funny game bug, which allows you to
score with your hands and emulate 1986 Maradona. When throwing in, if
someone bumps into you, player may forget to lower arms afterwards and
roam instead around the field with arms still raised. If that happens,
you're very lucky: find out more about this by downloading the save
state on tortelloni.tripod.com.
Q: Is it possible to score on goalkeeper's kick in?
A: Yes: when he performs it on lower part of the screen, you can try with
a leap of faith to perform a spectacular head-goal. However this is
incredibly hard and, even if you succeed hitting the ball, it will
likely end up against or above the crossbar.
Q: How come my player keeps missing ball after a throw in?
A: For some unknown reason, if a player intercepts w/head a ball that
has just been 'thrown in', he is not allowed to touch it again
before someone else comes in control of it.
Q: How do penalties work like?
A: Don't do anything and the player will kick randomly. Otherwise,
holding down and pressing fire when referee whistles should guarantee
you very good chances of scoring (in the 'lower' part of the screen).
To score instead in the 'upper' part, direction must be diagonal
(up + direction opposite to the one player is moving)
Q: Can goalkeeper be manually controlled?
A: Control is pretty awkward, but if that's what you want:
disable first autogoalie under options; during the match, whenever
ball comes close to goalie and you click, goalie will dive.
Q: How do you make a substitution?
A: When ball is out of play, pause the game (ALT if you are using pc64),
press Q and you will be led into the game menu. Go to pick team
and make the necessary changes, then click on play match, press ALT
and game will resume.
Ball is out of play when one of the following conditions are met:
- there's a free kick
- there's a throw in or a kick in
- Ball is in goalie's hands
Note that when a team scores you are not allowed to substitute players.
Q: Can a match end 102-0?
A: Yes, but you'll never see it written on the screen. Apparently the
game only counts goals until 99, all goals beyond that point are
marked with an F. I wonder now: is a game ending 102-101
(F-F) going to be recorded as a tie or as a victory?
