The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that make it accessible and enjoyable for casual play, particularly in multiplayer settings. However, players express frustration with the steal mechanic, which feels overly simplistic and leads to frequent turnovers. While the game has charm and some strategic depth, many feel it lacks sufficient content and complexity to maintain long-term interest.
“All my gripes with the single player experience aside, I think it's still fun and would be a great game to play with a friend or pass the controller around at a group event as its simple mechanics make it quite easy to pick up and play.”
“I've been wanting some updated arcade sports titles and I saw this one was coming out. It has a nice charm to it and there is some decent strategy under the hood, but if an update arises in the future adding a bit more, I will definitely give it another go.”
“On the gameplay side, I feel like I get my passes stolen too easily, but I've also only just started getting the hang of it.”
“By far my biggest complaint is the steal mechanic in general as what it actually does is simply knock the ball out of your opponent's hand.”
“I've been wanting some updated arcade sports titles and I saw this one was coming out; sadly, the game doesn't have enough content, deep enough gameplay mechanics, or modes to keep me interested. Don't get me wrong, it has a nice charm to it and there is some decent strategy under the hood, but if an update arises in the future adding in a tad more, I will definitely give it another go.”
“On the gameplay side, I feel like I get my passes stolen too easily... but I've also only just started getting the hang of it.”
