The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many describing it as overly aggressive and deceptive. Players report an excessive number of ads, often interrupting gameplay, and express frustration over the ineffectiveness of the "no ads" purchase, which still results in frequent ad exposure.

The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, simple, and engaging, with good mechanics and graphics that enhance the experience. However, many players express frustration over the excessive number of ads, inconsistent mechanics, and the requirement for constant online connectivity, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the game offers a solid gameplay loop, issues like limited offline play and a perceived cash-grab approach from developers have led to mixed reviews.
“Perfect mechanics, very good playability; you can end up playing for hours without paying attention.”
“Amazing game, good graphics, good gameplay, but I would like the developers to add the players' ratings and have a transfer market in January, not just at the end of the season.”
“Fun game, it's great that it also has a career type mode/customization as well as simple gameplay... also love the amount of leagues and nations you can play in.”
“Gameplay scales weirdly and gets harder to score when you level up, because the percentage and shot location outcomes change up on you.”
“The update has been awful; there's constant ads mid-game and whenever you log off of the game mid-game, you literally lose the game. It's nearly impossible to get gems daily, the battle pass is extremely worthless, and the gameplay is even worse.”
“There are far too many ads, poor mechanics, and numerous other negative aspects that detract from the gameplay.”

“Game sucks, Roblox graphics + terrible energy system + intrusive ads + gameplay not interesting.”
“Giving this 2 stars just because the graphics look decent, but the game mechanics suck.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback, with players noting unrealistic goalkeeper saves and inconsistent performance metrics that can hinder progression. While the gameplay is praised for its variety and competitiveness, users express a desire for more realistic scoring opportunities and a system that better reflects player performance over time. Additional features like loan options and retirement from international play are also suggested to enhance the overall experience.
“Brilliant game, and that means I can play well with performances and play with different teams from various countries and compete to win European and domestic competitions with goals and assists.”
“You could add more features like loans, an option to retire from international football, and team stars need to improve based on performance and the game could be even better.”
“Would like it however if there was consistency in performance every season.”
“So, the goalkeepers make unreal and impossible saves. I had over 100 goals and assists and won the treble, but I didn't win the Ballon d'Or. We have to be at level 8 to get offers from big clubs, which should be based on our performance. We need to score goals from such tight angles; this isn't fair.”
“Would like it, however, if there was consistency in performance every season.”
“Gives me impossible scenarios to score in. If you go one game with no goals or assists, your performance drops drastically, making it impossible for me to score free kicks.”
