The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics and engaging experience, particularly in multiplayer settings, though it requires a learning curve to master. Players appreciate the skill-based nature of the mechanics, but many express frustration with bugs, a toxic community, and limited matchmaking options, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay is solid, improvements in community engagement and technical stability are needed for a better experience.
“With stunning graphics, realistic gameplay, and a wide range of teams and leagues to choose from, this game offers endless hours of excitement for soccer fans.”
“The mechanics, such as dribbling, are easy to learn but difficult to master, making the game challenging and rewarding.”
“Gameplay is so seamless and amazing; love it.”
“Then you go to the gameplay, because training is bugged you can't learn the controls before you play your first game. When I enter the match selection, I notice there are only 4 servers to play, so you have few options. Then you join a match, the largest number of games are private and the public ones are full or you need to enter as a spectator. In my viewpoint, that's a little bit annoying.”
“This is just horrible gameplay, do something about the gameplay otherwise it's destined for death.”
“To sum it up, gameplay is nothing new, it is incomplete and probably never will be, has a toxic community and lacks critical elements that would make a good game.”
