  • The game offers a fun and addictive experience with engaging gameplay mechanics.
  • Players can manage various aspects of their team, including training, finances, and player relationships.
  • The graphics and overall presentation of the game are impressive for a mobile title.
  • The game heavily relies on microtransactions, making it difficult to progress without spending real money.

  • The game can crash frequently, especially when watching ads for energy boosts, disrupting the gameplay experience.
  • monetization
    130 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players feeling overwhelmed by the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, which often disrupt gameplay. While some users acknowledge the option to pay for ad removal, they express frustration over additional costs for basic features like changing team names and the necessity of in-game purchases to progress effectively. Overall, the game is perceived as heavily leaning towards a pay-to-win model, making it less enjoyable for those unwilling to spend money.

    • “All in all, developers should rethink and rebalance the impact of microtransactions on gameplay if they want people to keep on playing their game.”
    • “It's a fun game, but the in-game purchases are ridiculously overpriced for what you get.”
    • “There is a good game in here, it's just buried underneath monetization.”
    • “Disappointed cannot be played without making in-game purchases.”
    • “Clearly designed to force you into in-app purchases, which unfortunately ruins this game.”
    • “Never have I seen a 'free' game so blatantly force microtransactions down the gamer's throat.”
  • gameplay
    99 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and strategic depth, offering a mix of simplicity and intricacy that keeps players invested. However, many users express frustration with the game's heavy reliance on microtransactions, which can hinder progression and enjoyment, particularly for free-to-play users. While the core gameplay is enjoyable, issues such as ads, balance problems, and clunky controls detract from the overall experience.

    • “Such simple mechanics but makes everything rewarding when you get into a rhythm and working your way up the leagues.”
    • “The gameplay itself is great and hard to put down when you get into it.”
    • “Overall gameplay is damn impressive, I'm certainly overwhelmed at how it is.”
    • “Gameplay is okay, but the game is so far beyond pay-to-win that it just isn't fun.”
    • “The game is also heavily scripted, and the gameplay is awful.”
    • “Another game that has a good concept but poor execution; the gameplay is awful. You barely get any chances to attack, and when you do make one mistake (even if the ball rebounds back to your player), your attack is over. Worst of all, it's another game full of microtransactions that they've pretty much made you need if you want to be successful.”
  • graphics
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many users appreciating the visuals as "good" or "great" for an offline game, while others note that they are not particularly realistic and could use improvement. Some players have reported technical issues, such as bugs and crashes that affect the visual experience. Despite these concerns, the graphics are generally seen as a strong aspect of the game, complementing its engaging gameplay.

    • “The gameplay and the graphics are superb.”
    • “Love the game itself, the design, concept, and graphics.”
    • “This game is absolutely amazing. Great gameplay, amazing graphics, and would request for you guys to involve player career mode and more media action.”
    • “Even though the graphics are quite average, the concept of the game is really good.”
    • “The graphics, camera angles can be better.”
    • “Also, the game constantly crashes and sometimes blacks out the colors of the players during matches and occasionally creates jumbled phrases and graphics during the 'manager' portions making restarting the app every ten minutes a constant bane.”
  • stability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as overheating devices and unresponsive ads, leading to frustration, especially when trying to progress without spending money. While the game has potential and can be enjoyable at times, its current state is marred by instability and bugs that hinder the overall experience.

    • “The game is very buggy and crashes a lot, so much so that my phone is begging to put it into a deep sleep.”
    • “It's super fast and glitches more than it ever did before.”
    • “When it works, it's great, but it's a very buggy game; it constantly crashes, and it's worse when it's connected to data or Wi-Fi.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while accumulating Bux can be overly challenging, some appreciate the depth and strategy involved, making the grind feel rewarding rather than tedious. However, repetitive gameplay elements, such as relying on set pieces, can detract from the overall enjoyment. Balancing difficulty with engaging challenges seems to be key to enhancing the grinding experience.

    • “Bux is too difficult to accumulate by grinding.”
    • “Not bad, who only knows how to scout players and opposition score religiously from free kicks and corners, making it a bit repetitive and tedious. More time to make a tackle when the ball is lost and the ability to defend would be good.”
    • “It is okay to lose matches or to stay in a league for more than one season; you made the grinding interesting, make the most out of it.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers suggest that the game's optimization could be enhanced by providing players with greater control over team performance during matches, particularly by incorporating defensive strategies alongside offensive opportunities. This would allow for a more nuanced approach to managing player performance and overall team effectiveness.

    • “It pushes me to think of the best ways to improve the team's performance.”
    • “I think you can allow the gamer more control over their players on match days; it makes more sense for performance.”
    • “I think you can allow the gamer more control over their players on match days; it would make more sense for performance.”
    • “Instead of just attack chances, there should be defensive chances so defenders' performances could be controlled.”
  • replayability

    Players consistently highlight the game's high replayability, praising it as one of their favorite mobile games due to its engaging content and fun mechanics that encourage multiple playthroughs.

    • “Super good game, and the replay value is high.”
    • “Probably my favorite mobile game ever; a lot of fun and has plenty of replayability.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's storyline is praised for its engaging narrative and integration with gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. However, players express a desire for additional features that reflect real-life football dynamics, such as the ability to sack a manager or address relegation scenarios.

    • “Amazing game with very nice gameplay and storyline.”
    • “Everything is cool, from the graphics to the storyline. I wish they could add more features, like sacking a manager if he goes winless in a row or being in a relegation zone, similar to how football games work.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game enjoyable and humorous, but they report frequent crashes after ads, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The game is good and funny, but it closes every time after showing an ad.”
