Head Ball 2 - Soccer Game Reviews

by Tim.r.ward@Sikeston

I’m going to be showing you why you shouldn’t download this game. #1 Toxicity and Profanity: The “players” (as I’ll get into later) are always toxic during the game, including when they are losing. Plus, you apparently allow profanity in team names so fix that. #2 Lag: This game’s ping can be perfect - or it can be terrible. One second, you score, but apparently the opponent scored instead in a glitch #3 Repetitiveness: This game gets boring before a week or two, what’s the point of playing? #4 Obvious Bots: The makers of this game are liars. When I said “players” I was meaning bots. You can tell because every single opponent has 6 power ups exactly every game, and they have the same post-goal celebrations, like moving back and forth, hitting you over and over, and pushing you into the goal. #5 You get better as you get worse: You may not understand this, but some may. When you start playing, the bots are trash. But once you have like 4-5 power ups they become the best players in the game. #6 Too many messages: I get a message every 15-20 minutes saying stuff like, “Your energy has replenished,” and “You haven’t played in a while, come play!” Thank you for reading this, and please do not download this game! (If they delete this I swear)

This game is fun to play I suppose but if you lose a game, you lose 100 fans and 2 points. I don’t think it’s worth it when you only get 140 fans and 3 points when you win. Don’t enjoy the emote function either. This game makes you rage too often and I don’t think games should make you do that. I also don’t like that there isn’t a way of practicing. Once you get a new character you should be able to warm up a little to understand how different they are. Each character has different stats and your only way of figuring out how to use them is going into a match with someone which is almost always a guaranteed loss.

Surprise surprise I’m back with another negative comment about this game. I was out of team tickets last night and of course it gives you the option to buy more. I accidentally spent 300 diamonds after I’ve been saving up for weeks because they don’t have an “Are you sure you’d like to spend half your diamonds on a useless item” button. I contacted them and they refused to give me the diamonds back because “If we refund you, we’ll have to refund everyone.” I think this is it for me I’m done. Glad I didn’t spend actual money on the horribly overpriced in game things. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this game.

This game used to to really good I would play hours a day and get 20 win streaks daily. But now this game is broken I took a year break from this game and when I came back it wasn’t the same back when I was playing a few years ago I would always get my level and power opponents but now literally every game I join it’s filled with pay to win players they have legendary real money players despite being my level and I have this normal character that took me a year to grind. I have about 100k fans there are players with 2k fans who have legendary players that is very expensive. Also to know how bad the game is for comparison my best player has 44 power and every time ever since I got back to playing this game it always puts me in games where the other guy has over twice as power and many times it’s over a hundred and this are the people who either spent hundreds of dollars to buy it or they hack it. Also this players who do this are one of the most toxic players they think they are a “pro” and spam the laughing emoji when they score a goal against a player who has less than half their power and is actually a really player who is trying to enjoy the game. So please ignore this game until this problem is fixed

This game can be very fun but there are many things that need to be fixed. People constantly pause the game right when they shoot so it gives the opponent no way of stopping the goal. The worst part is when people drop out at the beginning of the game and it takes your energy away. This just happened to me 4 times in a row and I lost all my energy. Unless you fix these things people WILL stop playing this game. Maybe you should look into these problems. Lastly if you coerce people to spend money and it says “NO ADS” when you buy a package and it still makes me watch ads. You should really look into refunding people for this game.
Added after*
Guess what? Still took money and and energy because opponents cannot connect. Should really look into fixing this if you ever plan on having a successful app.
More additional*
Every time a game start “the opponent is waiting to connect” but meanwhile they are scoring on me so when the game starts I’m already down 2-0. Please fix your server and the entire game. You’d think the developers would have some common sense and actually read reviews to fix the game instead of constantly taking peoples money for a game that only works half the time. Still waiting...

This game is a jip!!!!
I’ve played this game and even invested in my player over two months. But no matter how good I am of the game wants you to lose, you will ALWAYS lose. I’ve played players that are like unicorns when they play, it’s impossible to beat them at all. They react to your shots at the right moment. You can’t hit the ball under them but they can do it to you without fail. It drives you mad!!!
Then there are the glitches. Try and block the ball goes right through you; try and hit the ball the opponent hits the ball without the character touching it; try and score the player blocks every ball you kick at them—it’s ridiculous. I’ve played opponents smaller than me and they out jump me for the ball. It would make sense if my abilities aren’t up to par, most of the time I have higher abilities. Then try and get a rematch, they reject the request. The glitches leave you speechless at times. I mean why have a power to enlarge your player of the ball can go right through them? Why be able to shrink the goal of the ball can still be hit into it from above when you’re directly in front of it? I guess it’s time to remove the game from my phone because nothing will change.

The game matches you up to guys from all over the world which is great to play everyone but the problem is the connection is terrible sometimes.
I’m from USA and every time I play someone out of the country the matchups don’t connect proper. I get matches that the ball is off by half a player length and they hit the ball when it’s not even close to them and basically tricks you from your counter because of it. Then on my side I try and kick from same distance away from me and I swing and miss and the ball goes half way into my guy before I can actually make contact with it.
Then when I connect to another USA it goes back to normal connection and have to get my mind back to the way it should be. Kinda hard to get back on track and how to kick the proper or sneaky ways if the connection messes with the way you trained.
I’ve also had matches that the game has a guy disconnect during the match and reconnect like 10x and it’s always in worst moments. They either need to have servers for each country and only play country vs same country or have a major overhaul on the connection because I can’t fund this game anymore with gameplay like this. Beware spending and getting in the money pit before you realize it’s not enjoyable from connections.

Its a good game dont get me wrong but the ads are ridiculous. When you start to play their isnt that many but then you get the hang of the game you get a 30 sec ads after every match which is only about a minute and a half. Then when you go to the main menu you get a pop up saying buy this or that. Then their are ads that are only 30 sec long and they manage to make them even longer. Some ads freeze and so you have to close the game. Sometimes when your in a match they put you with a really fast player that has upgraded himself because im sure they payed to win which makes you lose your energy to play if you get enough of these players, and youl just lose all your stats and then they might match you with a normal player. To keep these stats guess what you have to watch an ad! They give you so many characters to play with it becomes stupid to play with the ones you played with in the beginning. All that work you spent upgrading your characters and you dont play with them again but you have to to level up making you waste your time and earnings in the game.

by Head Ball Playa

There are way too many ads and I always get matched with a player that has had this game for 21 months and has the most upgraded character, I love the gameplay and controls though, but you should get matched up with players your level and skill more often, but overall this is a pretty good game that I like to play. I have had the game for like 2 days and my character has like no upgrades so I always lose. I like to play this game all the time but now I can’t because I have no diamonds or tickets and I always have to wait so... this game is very frustrating because of that I would have to spend money to play and everyone I play spends money so they have the best player and it’s just not fair everything is way to many diamonds so I never have any diamonds or anything. Learn how to respond and fix your game. I taped small goal like 5 times and it didn’t work then at the end of the game when I lost it finally worked like bruh you guys are horrible fix the stinking game I lost to someone who was lagging so bad and he was teleporting and so was the ball and it kicked me out and counted as a loss and took energy away, get out of here and never create a game again I will report you to the authorities. My favorite thing about the game is when the opponent has no internet and then the ball goes through me it makes me happy and jump with joy! I hope you see this so you know how bad your game is.

by Feverghoul

This game is pretty fun and I enjoy it, but it has a major issue when it comes to connection. When you play a game and there’s a connection issue the scoreboard will display which player it is that has the bad connection which is how I know it isn’t me because it’s always my opponents who are shown to have the connection issue. I would say on average, if I play 5 games, 3 of them will have connection issues that results in some serious lag, but if your opponent has the bad connection it’s you that actually suffers. It will completely stop you from being able to touch the ball in any capacity. You’ll go to kick it and it goes right through, you’ll go to block and the ball will go right through you. This results in your opponent scoring goal after goal until the connection finally stabilizes, but by that time you’ll be so far behind you can’t win. Since the game is based on energy being used to play matches this issue completely wastes and decimates your supply of energy and if you try to leave a game because of the connection issues your penalized by losing fans (which is how you earn gold, player packs, new stadiums, etc). On top of that, pretty consistently the game just shuts down while you’re in the middle of matches or loading a match. These issues are serious enough that it completely kills any fun you’re having in the game. If these issues are addressed and fixed I would be very happy to update my rating, but until then it’s a 2 star game.

by Myankee286

This game is great but I have one major problem I pay for triple points in the matches right and then I go to pick a match and it doesn’t find anyone and my time is winding down and I waste my diamonds. Because I purchased a triple points and I never get to use them because it takes forever to find a match I don’t understand you guys need to fix that until then I won’t give a higher ranking. I will not give a higher rating or whatever,This is definitely worth five stars but I can only give three until that’s fixed. I sit there for 10 minutes searching for an opponent. No matter what sometimes it takes for ever to search for an opponent there’s millions of people playing there’s no way to take that long. And a waste of my money I just paid real money and I can’t find a pony in the time runs out and I lose my triple points. Please fix that I am so mad. You guys might have money to waste but I can’t keep wasting my money I lose all my diamonds that I just paid for. To use them for triple points and everything and the time runs out and I spent money for nothing. I want a response ASAP please.

by ShyftyyIV

See this game especially frustrates me more than just any other games. Because the game itself is so so good. And it takes the head soccer game and improves on it. But the problem is. This game is packed to the brim with micro transactions. Any chance they get they are trying to take from your wallet. And then to take it even further. THEY PUT FREAKING ADS IN THE GAME. ARE U KIDDING ME. You already are begging drooling for money. And then u include ads in it. So disappointing. Seriously what are you thinking u greedy trash. And then theres a stupid stupid energy system. WHY??? HM? WHAT DO U HAVE TO SAY FOR URSELF. YOU BEG FOR MY MONEY, BUT THEN ALSO GO “we want your money but u can also only play the game a certain amount of times in an hour. Oh but did i mention you can buy more energy to play our game more?” Ridiculous. Having ads in such a game like this nearly ruins the experience. When you put money first. Quality takes a back seat. Why do u think supercells games last forever and have been played and are considered the best mobiles of all time. Its cuz they put passion and quality into their games and money is not the most important thing for them. And then with that mindset they make way more money just as a byproduct of their quality work and attitude. This game. Im telling you. Could be the newest hit that will last 20 years. But when u put money first. You kill that possibility. 3/5 stars. Death by greed.

by Colbysmaxwell

This might be my second or third review I’ve ever done cause this game needs one. If I had given it a review within the first day of playing, it would have been 5 stars easily. The problem is the higher you get, you start getting matched against players who have spend $$$ on the game and I haven’t. Now if our rank and everything was close, I’d understand but they aren’t. Also, people can literally just camp the goal so much of the game and it warns you when you’ve been near the goal to long so you just have to go out for half a second and you’re good. The warning takes way to long to cause something to happen. There should be a timer at the bottom when you get near the goal to let you know how long till you must move and it should only be like 3 seconds long. THE MAIN THING I dislike is how longgggg it takes to get ticket to play a freaking match if you run out. An HOUR for one ticket!? My god. They just really really want you to spend money and buy diamonds bad. And the last thing.. the power ups, you have to spend diamonds or gold to get more tiles to use them when you run out. Needless to say, I never have power ups cause almost impossible to get a large amount of diamonds unless you pay for them.

I find this game quite fun. Unlike many free apps on the market, this one doesn’t bombard you with super long, unskipable ads. Although, the game is extremely pay to win. The super powers that actually make a difference can be found in packs, which are bought through micro transactions, or can be bought with diamonds (the micro transaction currency.) Costume packs are quite hard to come by as well. So if you want boosts for your characters, you’re most likely going to have to buy their packs. Before an actual match starts you’re greeted with a Prematch lobby screen that will display your character, record from the last 5 games, and how many fans you have. If someone doesn’t feel as tho their odd are very good against a certain opponent they can quickly close HeadBall2 prior to the game starting sending their opponent back in to the matchmaking process. While in theory that’s not too bad but, while being sent back into the match making process I’ve found that either one of two things happens. You either don’t find a match and it will kick you back out to the main menu, taking your game ticket and character energy, or will match you up against someone with an absurd more power and fans than you.

by Agcfhxgjduvt

I don’t really know what to think of this game I feel like you should be matched up against people your level cuz half the time u get matched up with people who you can tell spend tons of money on it cuz there character is decked out. And u get absolutely destroyed. It’s not fun at times when u lose game after game after game do to connection of the player and that they’re way higher level than you. This game can tend to be annoying at times with the chat when every time someone scores they over emote and make you very mad over some little mobile game. There needs to be some fixes with the chat for sure. Also I have found that with connection people can just disconnect and join back in and the ball is behind you when they connect back in. Your about to hit the ball and it says “player has disconnected” and like 5 seconds later the person reconnects and the ball is behind you and they scored. They’re needs to be a change with the servers from different countries. You should be able to choose your server and not let the game choose a random country that someone is playing in. Also there’s a really annoying problem. I assume this game is pretty popular by the amounts of people world wide that play it but when your looking for a match at 3 in the afternoon ( I’m from the USA ) and it takes maybe 5 minutes of constant ticking through characters you still can’t manage to find a match and when you do they disconnect and it’s no fun at all.

I play this to pass up some time. It’s fun to play but the ads are very annoying. Especially when you get a rematch request but can’t accept it because of a 30 second ad. There should be a better way to implement the ad so it doesn’t interfere with game play. Also if you have an iPhone without the home button the buttons on the game interfere with the swipe gesture and can be very annoying. You have to be careful not to drag your fingers around when playing. The game is geared toward pay to play players. You’ll go against people with all sorts of gear as a beginner. Update: after playing for a few weeks I noticed that once you get into higher ranks you play a lot of players that pay to play. Don’t bother in tournaments if you don’t spend real money on gear cause you’ll just get beaten. Only thing that I really dislike is the terrible match making system. Also when you lose to someone that has a bunch of gear you lose a lot of fans. There should be a way to calculate the difference between power and minimize losses because you’re obviously most likely to lose against someone with way more gear than you.

After playing for about a month and a half I feel like I can write an honest review of this game. I’ve play pretty much every day and have advanced through the levels respectively. At first this game can be frustrating and annoying to the new player. The game seems like it’s pay to win, as you see many players with crazy costumes and high levels. The more I played this game the more I realized that levels don’t represent a players skill. I was a level 20 beating players twice my level. The only way to get better is to play and learn how the game mechanics work. True skill comes from practice and patience, not from paying a few bucks to get better. The game can easily be played without spending a single penny. Costume packs, character packs, and pretty much every other item in the game can be obtained for free. Events, team rewards, and ad watching makes progressing in this game fairly easy. The only reason I’m not giving this game five stars is because of their servers and connection issues. Playing in a high latency game is the most annoying part of this game. For that reason I think the servers should definitely be restricted by country. I had a 97 win streak that was cut short due to a player from Mexico (I live in US). And to the new players that are trying to get better: keep practicing, don’t rely on powers, and stay positive :)

The game is a good game but there is only one thing it’s the adds and I have seen some other reviews on other games and the people on there that where writing the reviews where being very very! Rude saying how bad the game is and the adds and on and on. I don’t want to be like those people but I just have to say that there are some adds for a example, when I’m done with a match I get a add and the matches are only 90 seconds in other words it’s exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds and so you might think that’s a long time but, when you are going agents someone in that amount of time goes by very quickly and as soon that you press on the play agin or the home botten it will take you to a add. Also she I am at it I would like to say something else that bothers me. It’s when it says that you have a prize and you click on that botten and I will just show a little thing where it will ask you to by like 2m dimmons for like 2.99$ and I’m just saying that it gets kinda annoying but I’m not just saying thus game because I know that it has that on almost ever single game like this but that’s the only thing that I would like to point out in the bad in the game but every thing else in the game is really good! Also if the person that does see this I hope that you will not take this post the wrong way I was just seeing if you could fix some things in the game that makes it a tad more better 😊

by Inneedofinsanity

My brother got me into this game and it’s so addicting and funny!! We laugh our butts off. Smooth gameplay and unbelievably fast! The endless array of characters are very customizable and many opportunities to gain skills & customizability. The downsides, every so often the game freezes and either the new opponent meter never stops or the load wheel keeps spinning. I think that’s if you keep HeadBall2 running in the background for a while. Secondly, the whole “full gem box must be unlocked” feature has to go! You earn all the gems by playing a relentless amount of games but then you’re forced to pay money to unlock them? I understand the creators wanting to make money, but this game gets very excessive with the begging. Last but not please, Ads ads and more ads!! Why after every minute and a half of game play must there be an ad?? And some are long, some are unskippable, and some flat out annoying! Just make ads run after every other game or every two games. That’s how you fix that. Otherwise this game is such a blast!!

by Chriszillig

I really enjoy this game. But I’ve notice now that I’ve leveled up that I’m getting paired against people who are paying to “win” not that the best stuff guarantees a win but it makes it hard to win against them. Also I’ve noticed that when I play certain people that the game has some odd things happen. Such as the ball glitching and next thing you know it turns up in the goal when it was just on the other side of the court, or I kick it and next thing you know it’s behind me going towards my goal. I suspect people have figured out how to rig the game to make it extremely difficult for other players to beat them. I also believe that some people are disconnecting and then reconnecting there internet during matches because it give you a 15 second window to reconnect to to your match. This means that the game stops and then suddenly starts again which because of reaction time often results in me not being able to respond to the first action from my opponent, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been scored on or had a tight match stolen from me because of this.

by Bigolbobcat

I have to admit I was extremely frustrated when I first starting playing. I would get absolutely destroyed by a more advanced player who was bigger and faster😡. Soo freakin maddening, but I started to get better and then I started to look at it as they were making me better at my defense and how to judge the ball and when to move to block or go for a goal. Then I realized that not all the big guys were good, they just paid to get the character and were like me - not very good.
So I decided I wanted to be big like those guys and save myself a bunch of time and spent the $10 to get an advanced player and it was worth every penny. I have spent around $14 bucks on the game which makes me more evenly matched. Oh I still loose but its not because of an unfair matchup it’s because they are just better than me. A worthy opponent.
My suggestion is spend the money ($10 or $15) and that’s all you will need. Watch for the deals. It’s a game changer.
Another tip guys and girls: don’t get mad, stay focused and calm. Watch the ball and your timing.
Use the super powers to your advantage. I like the blow up ball. It knocks em silly then you can score on em. Hehe.

I’m only rating it 5 stars so people see this and don’t download this game.
I got this game about a year ago for $5. Since then I’ve only managed to get to level 25 despite playing this game almost daily since I got it. It is so ridiculously pay to win that I run into players level 20 and they have characters 4 times better than mine. The man of the match game will screw you over almost every time you spend a large amount of your diamonds that you collect over the course of 3 or 4 months. Worst of all, after a number of losses in a row the game will take you to the store to buy characters and diamonds. If it weren’t so pay to win I’d enjoy it so much more because it has great potential. Unless you have the intention to spend your entire life savings on winning some worthless 90 second soccer matches, close the store and think about getting a free game with better quality, they’re really not that hard to find.

by I Like Your Cut G G G G G

OK so when I first downloaded this game I thought it was going to be bad but it was really good there’s only a few issues that I don’t enjoy the first issue is that it is a little Pay to winThe stuff that you can buy in the shop for equally low price doesn’t matter it’s just annoying to see a guy that has a really good character but they didn’t earn it they just bought it another thing is player the match is kind of rigged because every time I get to 8 I loseThen I’ll pay the gems but then I’ll lose on around nine right after Also one more thing is the daily challenges sometimes aren’t doable you have to pay to finish the daily challenge sometimes and I find that very stupid if I were to give an overall rating of the game it be a good eight out of 10 if you guys could fix these issues it would be an amazing 10 out of 10 I hope you guys see this thank you

Hello, the season subscription was activated for two weeks, but it only completed two days, and it was withdrawn. I assumed that the system would count it as two weeks, but only two days, given that I subscribed to two weeks and I thought it would last for two weeks, and there were two days left until the expiration period, and I did not care about it, given that I knew that the period was two weeks, and that Your system will calculate it for me as two weeks and deduct the two days automatically. Thus, the games that I play are automatically calculated for me for a period of, for example, two weeks. If, supposedly, they are lost and begin at the end, the difference of two days, for example, will be calculated for me and deducted from the original two weeks, so the total will be 12 days, and the full days have not been deducted.
