The gameplay has a good general feel with fluid and responsive controls during normal play, providing an exciting foundation for a Gaelic Football game.
The game evokes nostalgia and has serious potential, featuring a brilliant soundtrack, motion-captured animations, and solid core gameplay.
There is appreciation for the developer’s efforts and optimism about future improvements, with expectations for updates that will enhance gameplay, fix bugs, and add features like manager career mode and custom teams.

The game currently suffers from many bugs and glitches including problematic free kicks, broken substitutions, goalkeeper issues, inconsistent AI difficulty, and frame drops during kickouts.
Certain gameplay mechanics are frustrating or unclear, such as awkward passing, lack of tutorials, confusing free kick options, slow animations for restarts, and poor visual feedback on set pieces.
The price is considered too high for the current state of the game and content, with many players feeling it should have released in an early access state for a lower cost, given the missing features and rough polish.
