  • gameplay
    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this football title is generally considered clunky and unpolished, with many users noting significant bugs and mechanical issues that detract from the experience. While the franchise mode is praised for its depth and customization options, the on-field mechanics are seen as mediocre at best, making it more suitable for players focused on management rather than high-quality gameplay. Overall, the game shows some improvement over previous iterations, but many reviewers express a desire for more substantial enhancements in future releases.

    • “If you want a mechanically sound American football game with a franchise mode, look no further.”
    • “During the gameplay, you can make adjustments for offense and defense, whether you want to bank on defending the run or even just sling the ball around on offense.”
    • “The gameplay is also noticeably smoother and more responsive.”
    • “The mechanics are not just bad, they are simply completely broken.”
    • “The gameplay is really bad; I know you can't expect the world from a very small development team, and I really hope the gameplay is better for Axis Football 2020, but it just ruins the experience for me.”
    • “That lack of things to do between games is a big deal because the on-field gameplay has not improved at all since last year.”
  • graphics
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they fall short of modern standards, often comparing them to older console graphics like those of the PS2. While some players appreciate the decent visuals and the ability to customize uniforms, others criticize the overall quality, animations, and realism, suggesting that the graphics detract from the gameplay experience. Overall, the consensus is that while the graphics are not the game's strong suit, they may still appeal to casual fans focused on franchise modes rather than visual fidelity.

    • “The graphics are surprisingly better than I expected; there aren't many bugs other than the one I did spot.”
    • “Plays smooth and the graphics look good.”
    • “Graphics, control, soundtrack... it's all so fantastic :-D”
    • “Graphically it is awful and the gameplay is so bad that you can't really enjoy the game.”
    • “The graphics in this game overall make the game experience worse, and I've seen people who applaud this game for looking like a dumpster fire.”
    • “It's just a terrible game with terrible graphics, and even worse balancing, and the developers behind this game have little to no motivation to keep this game going other than to inflate their ego.”
  • stability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag, with numerous users reporting significant bugs and glitches that detract from the experience, particularly with AI and gameplay mechanics. While some players find the game functional and enjoyable despite these issues, many express frustration over the need for patches and a more polished product. Overall, the game shows potential but requires substantial improvements to its stability.

    • “The AI is buggy sometimes, and I definitely can tell it's a game instead of a simulator.”
    • “There are plenty of issues with games, glitches, and bugs.”
    • “They should opt to just polish one game, not release multiple games and then leave the previous games with unfixed bugs and glitches.”
  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players have noted significant improvements in performance optimization this year, with modding options allowing for a more efficient game footprint. However, some users remain skeptical about the game's overall optimization, suggesting that it may not be fully refined. The availability of mods enhances the experience, particularly for those interested in integrating different teams and gameplay elements.

    • “Modding a touch using the template they offer, you can tell the footprint employed is far smaller and more optimized.”
    • “However, it seems the performance has drastically improved this year, which is wonderful.”
    • “So I'm definitely thankful for that, so thumbs up on improving performance overall.”
    • “I doubt it's optimized, and the people who play this game haven't gone outside in years and have no social competence at all.”
    • “Modding a touch using the template they offer you can tell the footprint employed is far smaller and more optimized.”
    • “You can simulate practices which impact the team's performance, injuries, and morale.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features licensed tracks, although currently limited to only three. Players appreciate the powerful and profound start provided by the new music, noting it as a significant improvement alongside enhanced commentary and overall game experience.

    • “The new music was great; I liked how it started off the game powerful and profound.”
    • “Graphics, control, soundtrack... it's all so fantastic!”
    • “But the play-by-play commentators and music are nice additions/improvements over prior years.”
    • “The game features licensed music, but it's quite limited.”
    • “There are only three tracks available, which is disappointing.”
    • “I wish there was more licensed music; the current selection feels sparse.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and immersion, particularly in the free agency process, where players feel that relying solely on attribute numbers fails to convey the full narrative behind each character. This has led some users to seek alternatives that offer a more engaging storytelling experience.

    • “So when guys go into free agency, all you really have is their attribute numbers, and that doesn’t tell the whole story or immerse you into wanting to sign a guy.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the humor in the game, particularly highlighting the amusing ragdoll physics that lead to funny animations. While some bugs are present, many find them entertaining rather than frustrating, adding to the overall comedic experience.

    • “The gameplay is fun, challenging, and the ragdoll physics make for some really funny animations.”
    • “Yes, of course, there are a few hiccups, but I understand the devs' budget, and I just find every bug to be kind of hilarious.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive microtransactions and gimmicky elements, making it less appealing for players seeking a visually stunning experience. However, those interested in a managerial gameplay experience may find value despite these issues.

    • “The game offers a solid managerial experience, but be prepared for a significant amount of microtransactions that may detract from the overall enjoyment.”
    • “If you're looking for a game with engaging gameplay, this one delivers, but the monetization strategy includes numerous microtransactions that could be off-putting for some players.”
    • “While the gameplay is enjoyable for those who appreciate management mechanics, the heavy reliance on microtransactions might not appeal to everyone.”
    • “Stay for more of a managerial game with solid gameplay (if you really want to scratch that itch) or outright avoid if you're looking for eye candy, as it comes with a metric ton of microtransactions and gimmicky elements.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game places a strong emphasis on replayability, allowing players to enhance their experience through team training, effective scouting, stadium upgrades, and morale-boosting strategies, all of which contribute to a more engaging and varied gameplay experience.

    • “This seemed to be a main focus and it definitely adds more replay value as you can now train your teams, use scouting more effectively, upgrade your stadiums and concessions, and boost morale for your team by winning games.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, suggesting that it feels excessive and may be a tactic by developers to artificially extend gameplay for review purposes.
