The concept of this game is incredible but the creators really botched its execution. The whole thing is rigged against you on purpose, the game bullies you into wanting to buy the “upgraded” version because your team is absolutely trash in the beginning. Even when you’re able to see progression in your teams stats the odds will always be against you in certain games. If any team has any offense better than your defense they will score on any turnover 98% of the time. This means every time you score they are extremely likely to score as well and if for any reason it’s turned over, you’ve now trapped yourself in a corner because they are almost guaranteed to score. It also doesn’t matter how good your offense is, if the other teams defense is better than 2 stars they can almost always keep up with your fastest player and will be ready to intercept the ball at any given moment.

I’m sure once you’ve played the game a lot the stats of your team will be good enough but there is no sense of real progression because you get beaten all the way there and until that point there will always be a couple of teams who are practically unbeatable.

This game has potential, but it’s a far cry from its predecessor, Retro Bowl. The controls are wonky. Be prepared for your player to stop running as you furiously swipe across the screen trying to get them upfield. Opponent’s defenders are routinely beating your player with max speed to the ball. Slide tackling is a mess that usually ends a dogpile until one of your players falls and can’t get up and the computer walks the ball across the half line. Don’t try a through ball through the air to your forwards, it’ll either go to far and the keeper will scoop it up, or the defender will turn in to Usain Bolt and get there just in time to head the ball to safety. If the opponent scores first, the best hope you have for that match is a tie. In those games, if you score, the other team will always have an answer. If you score first, you’ll likely run away with the game, unless you’re playing one of the top tier teams in the league, in which case get prepared for come from behind goals from your opponent ad nauseam.

I downloaded the game and at first it was fun. i was new so i played easy and it was on offense. Almost every time they needed a goal or 2 they got it. I would have to score almost all my chances. The reason this is bad is you CANT PLAY DEFENSE!!! WHY? This is soccer not football. It is so easy to make defense but the creators don’t, if you don’t have possession behind midfield it’s called “ Chance Missed” even if you’re player was going to get it. The AI always waists so much time and even on easy will score. Some other minor issues is i’ve tried and tried but a midfielder unless on corner or a crazy rare shot behind the box cannot score. As soon as the player dribbles near the box he passes to an attacker no matter what, even if you control the player you don’t. Similarly players will randomly shoot when i want to dribble. Finally, every time the goalie hits it and it should go out it stops at the line and you are forced to miraculously save it without getting slide tackled. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME. The worst part is the game is not only pay to win with the new currency that costs more than Retro Bowl but it’s also just pay to play as after ten games you must pay to continue. Overall it’s ok but not as good as Retro Bowl so save your money.
