What is Speedball 2 HD?

This sports remake takes place in a cyberpunk future where rival gangs settle disputes through nine-on-nine matches. You pass and throw a steel ball toward the opposing goal, with bonus shots and knockouts also contributing to the score. Alongside quick matches and tournaments, a career mode lets you build a team through transfers and player upgrades.
