- “For a crowdfunded effort, I was super impressed with the gameplay and ease of learning to play.”
- “The gameplay is realistic, a fast sport with a very important passing play; the movement on the field around the goalkeeper is very important.”
- “Smooth controls (although it takes a bit to get used to), great fast gameplay, and not a groundball simulator.”

- “The gameplay is very repetitive, especially in college games.”
- “The gameplay was choppy and lagged every time there was a possession change, regardless of what I did to adjust the settings. Even during momentary times of somewhat smooth play, the game still lacked any sort of feel of more than something that belongs as a cellphone game or freeware.”

- “As much as I love lacrosse, this game doesn't live up to the hype, and can't even run correctly even on the lowest graphics. I at least wanted to run with no lag upon the FPS, but couldn't even achieve that dream :(”
