I only see 2/3 of the field!

Smallball requires needs the screen resolution to be set at least in 1024x768 with 16 bit colors.

If you are using a lower resolution on your screen there are two things you can do to see the whole field

1. Increase your resolution to 1024x768. You can do this by right clicking your desktop then selecting the Settings tab. Adjust the screen resolution and color depth here.

2. Use the low resolution option. select the Low Resolution mode in the Settings menu. This will make the field and the players even smaller, but then they will fit on your screen.

When you play a match you should see the whole field on your screen! That is, both goals should be visible.

If you resolution is 800x600 or lower, SmallBall football will try to auto select the Low Resolution feature. Try using a higher resolution to see the games and training most clearly!
