The gameplay of this title shows promise with immersive features and polished throwing mechanics, but is marred by numerous bugs and inconsistent core mechanics that disrupt the experience. Players find the throwing mechanics challenging to master, often leading to errant passes, while the lack of a multiplayer mode and outdated AI detracts from long-term enjoyment. Overall, while the game has great potential, it requires significant improvements to mechanics and stability to fully realize its capabilities.
- “The gameplay is great and is probably the best football VR sim out there and worth the 30 dollar price tag.”
- “Gameplay is immersive with player chatter, coach calling plays in your helmet, etc.”
- “Good gameplay options to keep you interested (season games, drills, practice, etc).”
- “Was a decent amount of fun at first, then it just got old quickly and the lack of updates to the AI or any mechanics ruined this game.”
- “There are quite a few bugs in this game that completely destroy any sense of gameplay. If you call a hurry-up, sometimes your players will just stop where they were at the end of the last play and set for the next play, completely randomly spread across the field (think wide receivers lining up 10 yards away from the line of scrimmage and the offensive line being a jumbled mess).”
- “So much potential let down by awful passing mechanics.”
