The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive nature of ads. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the prevalence of forced ads—often appearing unexpectedly and disrupting gameplay—has led to a negative experience for many. Additionally, the high cost of ad removal subscriptions has been deemed unreasonable, contributing to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player enjoyment.
“Surprisingly, there are little to no ads.”
“Love the game... can't get enough, no ads, non-stop gameplay!”
“Amazing game, no ads, top form. Thank you for making the game; it is amazing.”
“Ads are out of control.”
“You are giving the option of watching ads for bonuses, that's great, but forcing players to watch ad after ad when just doing basic stuff like collecting money makes the game unplayable and tedious.”
“This game should be called advertisement simulator.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it enjoyable and addictive initially, but ultimately feeling that it lacks depth and meaningful engagement. Common criticisms include unrealistic match outcomes, limited gameplay options, and excessive advertisements that detract from the experience. While some appreciate the mechanics and graphics, a significant number of users express a desire for more strategic elements and a reduction in the reliance on luck.
“I've really enjoyed the experience of this game so far as the gameplay is excellent, the development of players is enjoyable and not having control of players during games keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
“Great idea for a game, the graphics and gameplay is incredible, best soccer tycoon game ever!”
“Great game, great and fun gameplay.”
“The game appears enjoyable but has short, short games and limited gameplay.”
“Also, no content, the only thing besides collecting cash from players and upgrading them is watching ads; no real gameplay, no games, nothing. The game literally consists of 2 screens and 2 popups, sad.”
“Gameplay is horrible.”

The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, which some players find enjoyable and addictive, while others describe it as tedious and unrewarding. Many users appreciate the customization and match mechanics but express frustration with the limitations on daily play and the excessive reliance on ads for bonuses. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some players enjoying the grind and others feeling it detracts from the overall experience.
“The only other content of the game is grinding, but even then your opponent (bots) automatically equal your power, so it's pointless trying to power up.”
“You are giving the option of watching ads for bonuses, that's great, but forcing players to watch ad after ad when just doing basic stuff like collecting money makes the game unplayable and tedious.”
“It's a good game at first, something different, but after a while it just gets a bit boring and tedious waiting for your money to go up; watching ads and being bored is the best way to describe this game.”

“This game is just hilarious sometimes.”

“No glitches, keep it up! 😘😘😘”
“Was enjoying the game at first, but the glitches from ads are just abnormal.”

The optimization of the game has seen improvements, including bug fixes and the introduction of permanent "epic upgrades" for players, which enhance club performance. However, players express confusion over how skill upgrades impact performance, and some feel that the game lacks depth and meaningful challenges, as ratings and training do not significantly affect team outcomes. Overall, while the game runs smoothly, its optimization does not fully address gameplay engagement issues.
“We heard your feedback and also addressed some issues: ⚽️ benefit from permanent 'epic upgrades' (both business and football) and make your clubs even more awesome ⭐️ upgrade your favorite players (instead of replacing them) 💰 receive free gold bars every day 🌎 100 new cities 🔧 bug fixes & optimizations thank you for all your feedback and suggestions, you're way beyond awesome <3”
“Runs smoothly but game concept is boring; lacks depth and objective challenge.”
“It should be made clearer how upgrading a specific player's skill affects his performance.”
“Ratings and training make no difference to your team's performance, so what's the point?”
