The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs causing gameplay disruptions, such as characters getting stuck and NPCs behaving erratically. Players report that these glitches hinder movement and overall enjoyment, suggesting that without substantial fixes, the game lacks a solid foundation for improvement.
- “The NPCs are very fishy, like they are cheating. They seem to always want the ball out of bounds when it's on their side. The controls are okay, but the gameplay is not very good. I bought this game when it came out, so it's pretty buggy. The NPCs, or even I, get the ball stuck between our feet like we are robots rolling around as wheels for a soccer ball, which is silly. You need to fix it, and more people will like this game. (P.S. this game is like the impossible game to win.)”
- “Normally I'd say that if they fix the glitches, the game would be a lot better, but I just don't think there's a foundation here for a great game.”
- “It's so buggy; I don't know why everyone just stacks at a ball and you can't even move...”

The game lacks a significant narrative, with players noting that it primarily focuses on gameplay rather than storytelling. Additionally, the inability to play online with friends detracts from the overall experience, as the game is limited to local multiplayer.
- “The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “You can't play with your friends online; only if 2 players on the same computer. Even though this game has no story, it would be better if you could at least play online, not just with bots.”
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
