Connect Players
Click on players in the radar to connect them with lines. These connections remain visible during playback to illustrate team structure and spacing.
When you connect players, the lines will also appear on the video, and the distance between each connected player will be displayed in yards (this distance feature will appear on recordings uploaded after April 12th, 2025, only)
You can connect any number of players from either team, and you can also select the ball and the referee.
Player Trails
Select players in the radar. After a moment, a line will appear behind each selected player, showing their movements leading up to the current point in the video. You can activate Trails for any number of players from either team. Trails cover up to the last 20 seconds of play.
