The game's story is generally well-received, offering a compelling narrative that enhances the overall experience, but players feel that the time allocated to read certain parts is insufficient, leading to missed information. While the storyline is engaging, some inconsistencies exist, and many players prefer a more immersive gameplay experience over an extended story mode. Overall, it serves as a fun, competitive option suitable for all ages, even for those unfamiliar with the rules.
- “It is a great game for time killing and also to play even if you don't know the rules. If you want a game that is for every age, then this is perfect. It has a great storyline, and if you don't want to focus on that, it has two other features to play.”
- “It's a really cool game to play when bored or when you don't know how to play, while also being competitive and having a good story.”
- “Quality, but some parts of the story don't always line up.”
- “The time we have to read some parts of the story is too short, and we miss important information.”
- “The quality is good, but some parts of the story don't always align.”

The gameplay is praised for its depth, requiring players to engage in strategic positioning, decision-making, and player attitude management, rather than just simple actions like blowing the whistle. Additionally, the game incorporates timewasting mechanics that penalize passive play, encouraging a more dynamic and immersive experience over a traditional story mode.
- “The depth of gameplay is impressive: there’s more to this than just blowing the whistle—positioning, decision-making, and even managing player attitudes all play a role.”
- “Another interesting aspect is the time-wasting mechanics, where the game penalizes players for passing the ball back and forth or playing passively, which can lead to points being deducted.”
- “I honestly believe that most players prefer a more immersive experience in the actual gameplay rather than an extended story mode.”
- “Another thing is the time-wasting mechanics, where the game gives you foul checks for players passing the ball back and forth or generally playing passively. Ignoring these usually gets you points deducted.”
- “The depth of gameplay is lacking; there's more to this than just blowing the whistle—positioning, decision-making, and managing player attitudes all play a role, but it feels underdeveloped.”
- “The gameplay can be frustrating at times, especially with the mechanics that penalize you for playing defensively or passing too much, which can lead to a negative experience.”
