Both use the same position-fit ratings, so a player in a suitable role performs better. The field action also uses traits such as Speed, Attack, Defense, HP and the special stats.
Bring your lineup onto the field
- Build and save a lineup on all22pokemon.com.
- Choose Play with Your Team on the original Builder.
- Check Your All-22 on the original game selector, then choose Bowl or Pro.
- If no team has been saved there, the original selector says it will use the classic lineup.
A saved team lives on the original host. Opening the game from this playbook keeps the original host responsible for the roster and game state.
A practical first-game plan
Begin with one mode long enough to learn its snap, passing and defensive controls. Open How to Play before the first kickoff, then use the Bowl and Pro controls guide alongside your game window.
- In Bowl, learn the context-sensitive A and B actions. The label changes with the play.
- In Pro, learn the receiver numbers and tap-versus-hold passing before adding hot routes.
- On a phone, use the touch instructions for the selected game. Bowl’s menu recommends landscape.
- Use the pause menu when you need to check controls rather than guessing in the middle of a play.
What your Pokémon stats do during play
| Trait | On-field contribution described by the creator |
|---|---|
| Speed | Running speed and how quickly a player gets moving |
| Attack | Driving power for blocks, tackles and breaking tackles |
| Defense and HP | Holding ground and taking hits |
| Sp. Def, Sp. Atk and Speed | Catching |
| Sp. Atk and Sp. Def | Quarterback arm and accuracy |
Weight supports physical play but heavier players accelerate a little more slowly. Position suitability and the underlying stats both matter.
Quick answers
Can I play football rather than only build a team?
Yes. The original site links to All-22 Bowl and All-22 Pro as playable football games.
Do Bowl and Pro use different scouting rules?
The public Scouting Guide states that both games use the same position-fit ratings as the challenges and Fantasy Draft.
