User reviews on graphics are mixed: many praise the game's realistic and impressive visuals, calling them amazing or splendid, while others criticize slow loading times, lag, and occasional jittery or poor-quality graphics that hinder gameplay. Common suggestions include improving optimization for smoother performance, enhancing character customization, and reducing loading delays to better match the game's potential.
- “Great graphics and realistic approach to training and competition.”
- “The graphics and the animation is so amazing.”
- “It feels like real..the graphics are splendid ”
- “Slow, poor graphics, absolutely no good.”
- “After the update of my phone on Android 13, the game is unplayable. I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. I set the game on the lowest graphics and priority mode (a mode to boost games on Samsung), but the game still lags. Please optimize the game first before adding more events. Really bad coding.”
- “Powerplay manager at their repertoire: buggy and unoptimized, jerks even on 'lowest' graphics setting on a decent smartphone.”

Monetization in the game is widely criticized for excessive, intrusive, and often forced ads, including after every event, which disrupts gameplay and causes crashes. Numerous users report paying to remove ads but still encountering them, leading to frustration and feelings of being misled. Additionally, microtransactions are viewed as expensive and sometimes necessary for significant progress, contributing to a pay-to-win perception despite some players appreciating ad-free options and moderate ad presence.
- “One of the best things is no ads unless you want to watch them for extras.”
- “I paid 1€ for no ads, but still had ads, which was disappointing.”
- “I would like an option to buy the game outright and avoid all the microtransactions.”
- “Paid to remove ads and they're still there.”
- “Have been charged twice to remove ads, but they are still there.”
- “Way too many ads, every time you do an event there is an ad afterwards, and ads are longer than the events.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics, smooth progression, and enjoyable, challenging events that keep players engaged. However, issues such as variable difficulty, lag, confusing mechanics changes, and occasional bugs affect the experience, alongside concerns about excessive data usage and intrusive ads. Overall, while gameplay is considered strong and fun by many, improvements in stability, user interface, and monetization balance are needed.
- “It is fun and enjoyable, really challenging which keeps me coming back to compete. It's a little tricky at first but gameplay is smooth. I wish the joining of club teams was a little bit easier for new players to reap some benefits from veterans, which would allow more sportsmanship in the long run.”
- “This is an amazing app, it looks great, the games have really good mechanics, you can progress without ads popping out all the time and without buying stuff.”
- “Overall engineering and gameplay are smooth!”
- “Gameplay just too variable.”
- “Several of the events that were fine only a few weeks ago are now just random button pressing contests because the mechanics and timings keep being changed or because graphic judder means that the lag renders timing impossible.”
- “The gameplay of sports events is short and should be prolonged.”
stability

The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including long loading times, freezes, glitches, and crashes, especially after ads or during events. These problems significantly disrupt gameplay and frustrate users, with some reporting recurring bugs even after updates. While the core gameplay is appreciated, persistent instability and poor performance detract heavily from the overall experience.
- “One of the best sports games I ever played, every sport needs different skills and different types of control which shows the developer really worked hard to develop this game, but I am giving only 3 stars because of bugs. There are tons of bugs; every time when I play this game, after 2-3 games, the game freezes at loading and I have to force close and reopen it.”
- “Lots of bugs, home base freezes, after logging back in all structures are locked, making it impossible to play.”
- “Good gameplay, but since the last update there are so many glitches that make the screen freeze; the game is almost unplayable.”

grinding
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The game requires a significant amount of grinding, particularly in the career mode, where repetitive tasks like running the 100m multiple times to unlock events become tedious and slow down progression. While the gameplay and graphics are appreciated, the extensive time investment needed to access varied content can lead to boredom.
- “It has potential but I struggled to find an online mode, and repeating the 100m over and over to level up to level 5 to gain access to the field events is tedious.”
- “Very slow game, takes an insane amount of grinding.”
- “Great graphics and concept but the sheer amount of time you have to play the game to unlock any events (except 100m) is tedious and gets boring quickly.”

- “After completing the first mission, the story really begins to engage you.”
