Explaination for "Playing Soccer"

Stochastic

Given a state and the agent's decision one can't predict the outcome of that decision because the various players may act in any possible way.

Sequential

In this game ,the agent's current actions affect the future decisions, hence it is sequential.

Dynamic

While an agent takes decision on making his move, the environment of the game ch anges, for example the position of different players.

Continuos

The angles on which the agent hits the ball and the speed given to the ball is continuos.

Partially Observable

The actions of other players and the friction in the air, some small obstacles are not observable or partially observable.

Multiagent

The game of soccer is played by multiple agents.
