English term or phrase: both sides of the ball
Radi se zapravo o prevodu uputstva za NFL igricu prilagođenu telefonima sa Android platformom. Koliko smo shvatili, taj termin "both sides of the ball" je neka vrsta stručnog izraza koji se koristi u američkom fudbalu. Evo konteksta:

CONTROL EVERY MOVE
Slow down the clock and make the play on both sides of the ball with Total Defensive Control (TDC) and Action Control Time (ACT). Pause the action and put your players in position to deliver game changing hits with TDC, or use Action Control Time to dominate defenses with dives, spins, jukes, and sprints.

potpuna dominacija
Explanation:
Cini mi se da se radi o idiomu iz sportskog zargona koji ima karakteristicnu englesku slikovitost (posto je lopta za americki fudbal sa zasiljenim krajevima) - "make the play on both sides of the ball" bi verovatno znacilo 'dominirajte igrom' i ovde bi otud bila u pitanju igra reci, koje americki copywriteri naprosto obozavaju.

agree  Miloš Stojadinović: Slažem se sa prevodom. Konkretno u američkom fudbalu, kada se ograč okarakteriše rečenicom: "He can play on the both sides of the ball", to znači da odlično igra u odbrani i u napadu.

igrati i ofanzivu i defanzivu tj. i napadati i braniti


Explanation:
Mislim da ovo znaci igrati i ofanzivu i defanzivu zbog polozaja igraca u odnosu na loptu kada se lopta ubacuje u igru.

Example sentence(s):
  • Players had to be adept at playing on both sides of the ball and most offensive linemen were also defensive linemen or linebackers, while receivers tended to double as defensive backs.

napad i odbrana


Explanation:
Zapravo, "to play on both sides of the ball" znači "igrati dobro i u napadu i u odbrani".
