Gameplay in the reviewed titles is characterized by a mix of frustration and enjoyment, with players noting issues like inconsistent passing mechanics and clunky controls that hinder offensive play. While some improvements have been made, such as reduced dropped passes and a faster pace in gameplay, the overall experience remains challenging, particularly for those seeking a more structured game mode or the ability to practice plays. Despite these drawbacks, the core mechanics are deemed fun, suggesting potential for growth as players become more familiar with the game.
“In my opinion, it makes the gameplay/gameflow much more balanced.”
“Cfb17 seems to play faster and gameplay looks more balanced.”
“The important thing here is the mechanics of the game are good, so the football itself is fun to play.”
“I literally own them on defense, yet thanks to wonky catching mechanics, they can get a deep pass and just have players bounce off of them. Meanwhile, you try to play offense, and on the rare chance you can throw a ball in less than 40 seconds of preparation time, the ball won't even go near or to the right target.”
“Fairly frustrating game with wonky passing mechanics (no apparent attempt to catch passes when wide open is very annoying to me), clunky maneuvering and controls, also no ability to try out plays and see how one is supposed to work a given play, and no concept of a season mode at all.”
“The animations are a little jittery, but it's good to see an indie developer try to add character rather than it being a purely mechanical game.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered good, with nice art assets, but the lighting is described as bland, detracting from the overall visual appeal. While some users find the graphics comparable to other indie titles like Axis Football, others feel they fall short of expectations, especially for a finished product. Overall, the visuals are seen as decent for an indie game, but not groundbreaking.

“The visuals are appealing, although the lighting could use some improvement to elevate the aesthetic further.”
“Despite being an indie title, the graphics still manage to impress with their quality and attention to detail.”
“While the art assets are nice, the lighting is a bit bland, which makes the visuals look worse than they actually are.”
“While not a serious issue, it lowers the overall visual aesthetic of the game.”
“The graphics may be a bit poor, but in my opinion, they are at the same level as Axis Football.”
