The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on an excessive number of ads, which many users find disruptive and frustrating, often interrupting gameplay after nearly every action. While some players appreciate the absence of in-game purchases, the overwhelming frequency of advertisements has led to calls for an option to pay for an ad-free experience. Overall, the consensus is that while the game is enjoyable, the monetization through ads significantly detracts from the overall experience.
“The thing I like about it is that there are no in-game purchases, so everyone can play and be on the same level.”
“No ads! The best game I play on my phone.”
“Let me pay for no ads.”
“There's just a few issues: 1) the absurd amount of ads during drafts.”
“The amount of ads is disgusting. I know it's for money, but 1 ad every 10 minutes isn't hard to ask for.”
“After every SBC, you have to watch an ad. While I understand the devs want to make money, at least add a one-time purchase to skip all ads. It's really disappointing because people don't care enough and still play, giving the devs power to abuse ads.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, especially with repetitive tasks like opening packs. While some enjoy the grind, others express frustration over cheating and the lack of a login feature, which forces them to restart progress after deleting the game. Overall, the grinding can detract from the experience, leading to mixed feelings among users.
“Opening packs over and over again becomes tedious very quickly.”
“Kids are selling it, and people are cheating to get 100% collection instead of grinding the game. People are spending over 100 quid for bot trades. Please, developers, sort this out. Apart from that, I'm enjoying the game.”
“I'd give this game a 5-star rating, but the problem that makes me choose 4 stars is that this game doesn't have a login feature. It's really a pain for me because I need to restart the game after I delete it. I hope Madfut gets this feature so people don't have to go through the hard time of grinding from the start again.”
