All the obviously intentional AI issues aside, there are levels deeper in the game which are almost impossible (I’m looking at you level 46!). It’s just not fun at all after a certain point. But my biggest gripe by far are the levels in which you need to score multiple goals but all have to be scored in a row and if you manage to score two of the say three needed and you don’t get the third, your goals are taken away and you have to start the whole ridiculous and rigged process all over again. WTH. And this all comes from someone who doesn’t mind spending on a game and doesn’t enjoy criticizing someone’s hard work but as I mentioned above it was fun for a while, so I kept at it, but it’s a wrap.UPDATE: I pressed on, and....the game pretty much went back to how it was in the beginning. It’s fun again! Not sure if the devs are listening to the reviews and tamped down the difficulty a little bit or you just have push through a stretch of levels (mid-40’s thru 60) to get back to the fun. Either way, the game is back on track. Still a few glitchy AI moments here and there but at least it’s playable again and challenging at times without, but without being absurd.

So the game is great, you have the ability to make your own plays. You have your own player within the game. You have numerous chances to create a successful play. Story progression, great game. There are some issues rn though. The defenders seem to want the ball more than my teammates, and will often beat my teammates to the ball. The goalie seems to amazingly anticipate where the ball is going even in corners and off posts. You need to be pretty close to get the “for sure” goal. It just won’t happen from more than 15 yards. Also when I make a long pass to a teammate, he will often keep dribbling the ball til it’s out of bounds. Very annoying seeing how you have but so many chances to succeed. The AI will often waste the play on their own. Wish they did this when it was time to make a goal. You know when by themselves just him and the goalie. Instead of stopping a great distance with no one’s around trying to make the shot. Keep running forward like they do when the take the ball out of bounds. My curved crosses are pretty successful, but the defender will make his way in front of my next pass and my athlete won’t turn away and make a different pass. I’m forced to pass it straight into the defender. Start over. I still love this game though. I think this is what is frustrating me and quite a few other people. I counted 20 in the 100,000+ that are reviewing like me and are frustrated. Didn’t scroll very long either. Please fix these issues.

I have been playing this game for a while, and i’ve been having fun, but the AI players are super, super dumb. They don’t even try to get the ball back and don’t try to defend from the other teams defenders. They also don’t run fast enough to try to get the ball and the other team is just always getting to the ball first, every single time. They also always let the defender get the ball like they’re passing it to them. This is what makes me give this game a 3 star rating, but for what it’s worth, this is an entertaining game, but please make the teammate AI smarter and better and maybe make the defender not faster or the same speed as the teammates so it’s even. The game devs have to make the game so there’s fouls in the game, let the players fight for the ball after they lose it, not let them go the other way, and just make the AI not so clueless about what’s happening and the requirement for the game actually happen in the game. For example, when the requirement is for the hero to score the goal, when you pass it to the hero, they pass it and don’t even try to score, so then what’s the point to even try to get 3 stars?! This game just needs some improvement for all aspects, and even in the past 4 years there have been reviews telling YOU, the devs to fix these issues, but you haven’t even addressed these issues, that is why i have you 1 star. This game is horrible. Please just try to fix this.

There’s no point of stating what is already said in previous reviews. I will say the updated engine is great, and the storylines are very entertaining. I’ve had fun on the earlier missions because they’re noticeably easier. However what is annoying is once the user progresses, it’s not only difficult but flat out unfair and unrealistic. I constantly find my self getting stuck trying to find breakthroughs with unintelligent CPU teammates and defenses that are impossible to get past. I’ve seen defenders and goalkeepers break the laws of physics to make me restart the entire sequence. It is clearly obvious they want the user to spend money. Why make me spend money for unlimited tries when you run ads every five minutes? It’s not a very user friendly system. Finally, my biggest complaint, the one level I am currently stuck on, if I cross the ball to someone level with the defender, it ends up getting intercepted in multiple ways. I say the game doesn’t understand the rules of football because if I pass the ball to the one open defender, it gets called back for being offside. Does the game not know that you can’t get called for being offside when passing within your own half? Very frustrating to deal with. Overall it’s fun but be prepared to have a terrible experience in the later stages of the story.
