Hello, i've been using this forum for useful information for a long time, and when i read this post, i felt it was time to finally register. You can control the whole team in BAL, i don't think it was meant by Konami but i found a way. You have to have two controllers (joysticks), and when a game starts, you go to Select Sides, move away your first controller and switch the second controller to your team. You can now control the whole team, even when your player is on the bench. You can't use teammate controls, and when you're off the pitch the radar is off. You can't make changes, select piece takers and other manager stuff. But you can control the whole team, which is nice.
