NFL 2K Playmakers Reviews

The in game percentage doesn’t matter. Would not recommend

The game is set up for you to lose and spend money. Literally they make you use every card flip that you have to pick the last card and when you FINALLY flip the last card its always something you already have or junk. The season mode they make you feel good and win a few games the you truly get smashed. Then on top of all of that they give you challenges that’s not even in you play book….. run 8 times and score a touchdown and every play that comes up is a pass you can’t even pick your one plays they put the worse plays you have in your play book against teams that got way better team than you so you will blow your money on packs that gives you one good defensive guy and your never on defense. Games truly a joke dnt waste your time guys unless you want to play against teams they built. So they can empty your bank account

Save yourself the time and just don’t DL this junk. If you want a good mobile football game then download Retro Bowl. If you want a good card game download Snap or MTG.

2K you continue to puzzle and frustrate me. You invest your resources into a NFL card game where we watch the simulated and hands off action? This is boring. You also brought a tennis game back and WILL NOT bring back a NHL game when you could. You could reboot NHL2K8 and it would CRUSH EA’s lame NHL game. People have been praying for you to come back to the NHL game market. PLEASE!! For the love of God bring a NHL game back!

Classic money grab not worth playing at all no time was spent in this game easily made in a day jus pushing out more ways for you to give them money

I’ve waited for a couple years now for a 2k game, and they make one where you can’t even control the players. I’m disappointed.

When I choose the correct play on defense and the offense should have a 0% chance of scoring or making a play instead they have a 10% chance and either get a good run or score a touchdown. This needs to be fixed. Also add turnovers like interceptions or fumbles to the game.

It’s a simulation of a game with preset graphics with two out comes. It’s more of a tap game. You don’t move player nor do you actually do anything. But kick a ball which is the only feeling of real football. Unless you wanna spend money to get a better team, only wanna tap to play a “game”. They have a game mod were you don’t see the animations anymore and take a guess who has the better cards. Winners will be payed to win. Thank you no thank u.

It is boring because well you can’t throw it to the other player. You can’t just hand it off when you want to without the quarterback just on automatically doing it. It’s just very weird that the only thing that you do is call the plays in the game and the events. I don’t really get because you should play with the players, but all I saw was playing with the cards when I finally got to play the event it was actually playing with the player so I was very confused. Please download this game. Tell me if I am wrong because I can just tell you this right now if you download it, you will definitely get rigged because that’s also what I feel like, but I didn’t put it on the title because, the most important thing I wanted to talk about how boring it is so just download it. See if what you would write it and tell me if I’m wrong. The only part that I do like it’s that we actually get to run plays, but that’s the only thing I like it doesn’t like you pick your own place. Doesn’t let you throw like I saw on the ads you might get rigged.

Game in loading loop, can’t even play

Players: I personally think patrick mahmoes is a tad bit over rated but the fact they are not even a top 10 QB is crazy (all current day players) and as well as just fields being the lowest rarity is insane and they seriously have cole kmat above travis kelsie by 2 rarities. They don’t even have some of the key players on some teams like Tyreek hill

Gameplay: you just pick a play and watch. Each play only has two outcomes which can be boring and repetitive. You can get rigged pretty easily even though you have a 90% chance its more like 60% chance. There is not even many game modes just 3 modes with two of them take each game 1-2mins

Rewards: you really need to grind or pay to get anything I played for hours and still barley got a team. Even if you do pay money the things you get are tokens. Those tokens can get you packs which don’t give too much. For the 7 day login bonus you legit get nothing its a complete waste

I initially gave this gave two stars but changed it to one. I’ve played at least 200 games and made it up to Emerald 3 tier. You’ll play rigged game after rigged game. The AI doesn’t follow play success percentages like you do. While you fail 60, 70, 80, 90 success rates at a high rates, the AI seems to have a lot of success with 10, 20, 30 success rates. You’re barely rewarded for things you complete in the game and good luck getting premium currency. Open up you wallets. I’ve come to terms that I can control my players. That’s a whole other topic. The sad thing is I see YouTubers promoting this trash. I’ve been wanting 2k football to return for awhile now. I still play NFL2k5 on my PS2. This isn’t it though….

The only good thing about this game is the play animations aside from that the percentages are fake, doesnt matter if the ai has 10% i usually keep them around 10-25% and yet they still complete most plays whereas ill have around 50-90% and miss most of my plays, no manual play its all auto so if the choice system doesnt work in a full auto game then whats the point at all? I understand everyones complaints because man truer words have not been spoken, this game is horrible

It's deeply disheartening to witness the erosion of gaming integrity perpetrated by certain developers. The prevalence of pay-to-win mechanics and excessive microtransactions represents a betrayal of the fundamental principles of gaming. Instead of fostering a level playing field and rewarding skill and dedication, these practices create an environment where success is determined by the size of one's wallet rather than genuine merit. This predatory monetization strategy not only tarnishes the reputation of the gaming industry but also exploits the passion and enthusiasm of gamers worldwide. It's imperative that developers prioritize ethical business practices and prioritize the enjoyment and satisfaction of their player base over short-term financial gains.

First off, I was not made this was a card game. What made me delete this GARBAGE game/app was the fact that during the gameplay the percentages mean absolutely NOTHING! On so many occasions I would play my cards and have a 94% chance to complete the play, on offense and defense, and I would not complete the pass or the cpu would get a 4th and long completion. Just give us a lower percentage rate then and I would be ok with that. An entire game had me get over 80% in my favor and I don’t think I made a first down one time. I deleted this game after 1 hour of plying it. WASTE OF TIME!

👎🏾

Graphics are decent but game play is terrible. They give you statistics based on each play which is made my A.I and they are completely inaccurate. I'll have a 90% chance to make the play and my quarterback just stands in the pocket and takes a sack when it was a throw play and defense chose a run play. The game doesn't have any functions you can control besides picking the play and hoping your A.I team can make the play. Even if your stats on every player are better than theirs and pick the right play you'll still some how take an L. The game play is so glitchy and outright terrible. Has potential to be a good game. Just not worth your time. Maybe later on in the future but now it's very mediocre.

This had the potential, or perhaps still has, to be a fun game. It desperately needs to be tuned. It kind of makes you want to delete the game when you pick the correct plays, offense has a 10% chance, for 3 plays in a row, and they march down for a touchdown. What’s the point if that is the case. Another part is the season play…. You have 8 plays to score (for example), you get to 7 and there is no option for a field goal if you are close. Or situations where you need multiple runs and all that comes up is pass plays… or my favorite… you need 10 yards on 4th and your 3 choices are under 10 yards. Makes no sense. The same when on defense, the opponent needs a first down, but picks a play that can’t possibly get them there. Disappointed is an understatement. The card collecting aspect is somewhat okay, it would be nice if you could level up your plays somehow when they are at max level. Picking cards after a game, am I the only one that always makes it to the last card as an option… seriously. Hopefully this game receives updates and progresses forward.

I was expecting a lot more from 2K’s long-waited return to making a licensed NFL game. This game has great graphics, but there is no gameplay. The game is just centered around probability and watching cutscenes play out. Many will be disappointed solely in the fact that this is a mobile game to begin with. I do believe however most would have looked past that if this game actually let you control the players like any other major sports mobile game.

It is very rare for me to write a review. Though I believe this game is dull in it’s current state, I hope that they make drastic changes. Many diehard NFL 2K fans, like myself, want to support 2K’s attempt to re-enter the competition with EA, but this simply is not the answer. A 2-star review for this game is the best that I can give. I pray that 2K shifts focus to either an arcade NFL game (i.e. NFL Street), simulation NFL game (i.e. NFL 2K5, or bare minimum just a traditional NFL mobile game.

Starting off the game is interesting as you start to build a team by randomly selecting cards. Then you play season mode and it’s great until you get to emerald season!!! IF THE COMPUTER WANTS TO WIN, YOU DO NOT STAND A CHANCE! Even if your cards are higher overall.

On defense, I guessed correctly on 7/8 plays and got the offensive chance down to 10%. Each time they converted the play for 10+ yards!!! So frustrating because it makes the only actually playing aspect of this game have to meaning! They convert less if I guess wrong and give the offense a higher conversion chance. 2K! If you make us guess the type of play, at least make the lower chances really have an impact!

Overall 2 stars for the design and look of the game. It’s good looking, but gameplay is coded poorly.

This is a “classic” time-wasting game. The only issue I have is that offense chances and defense chances don’t work. I had an 84-perfect chance to move the ball, but the defense stopped me. I would’ve been fine if it was once or twice; it happened three times on the same drive. Whats the point of the chances if it's the same result regardless of percentage? It should just be whoever has the better cards. Not something I recommend wasting time on, unless you want a headache.

Game is okay if you can get past the fact that it is RNG based even with the odds are in your favor. Example if you have a 90% chance of the play being successful it seems like the game still favors the 10% of you being unsuccessful. I was unsuccessful every time i had a 80% or above success rate. it’s a very aggravating for me personally and makes the percentage concept really dumb and pointless.
I’ll give it the benefit of its new release and hopefully with patches it will become better. Will update review if it does change.

Boring, not enough animations. Repetitive cycle.

This game is really fun and I enjoy the aspect of collecting the cards and making the decisions. Seasons mode however is very clearly rigged, some games you will have every play go in your favor no matter what, then another game you will be given all plays that don’t get a first down on 4th down, or you will consistently get all pass plays and then the opponent will happen to pick pass or pass blitz defense every time resulting in you not getting the yardage when you aren’t even able to pick a run play. This game would be better if there was a run and a pass available on every down, as well as in 4th down situations all suggested plays will be guaranteed to have the potential for yardage needed. Great potential for a game but very clearly not an even game right now.

I have been playing for some time now. It is a fun game that i have spent a lot of time on, but i have 2 major complaints, hence the 3 star rating.

They need more game modes and events. You get to a certain point in this game where the only thing worth doing anymore is redzone drive, which gets boring after the 1000th time. This is the point I’m at and the time I spend playing has gone down accordingly. Also, the events are too few and far between, and usually have a pay to win element to them. Don’t even get me started on franchise pick. 60$ for a card you can only attach 1 equipment to, which means it is worse than the fully leveled sapphire cards that didn’t cost a dime, just doesn’t make sense.

The gameplay gets stagnant. There are 2 outcomes to every play, and no turnovers. I would love to see a “crit” mechanic for plays so they could at least have 4 outcomes. For example, flea flicker could have the outcomes of fumble, -6, 28 (i think), and TD, with fumble and TD as the crit outcomes. Maybe a crit could be triggered if the offense odds go <10% or >90%. I think it would make the game a lot less repetitive.

Hopefully they will improve on these areas. It has the potential to be a great game, but falls short in its current state.

So I’m gonna say this, it’s a cool concept kinda fun but super bare bones. Also good decision making isn’t rewarded. Pros: Fun concept. Real players real teams. Grinding for better players and XP. Cons: No purpose to play except for good record and max level. Good decision making isn’t rewarded. 4 straight plays on defense I made the right play call the defense had a 10% chance to covert (which is the lowest you can get)each time and they scored on 4th down and I lost. No way to upgrade your players besides the normal draft picks if you get the same card or by gear which you need 10 pieces of the same gear to equip which doesn’t happen that fast so it’s kinda pointless. I can’t equip a play I earned even tho I have open spots for that play to be put. So all in all it needs a lot of refining to be fun rn it’s definitely not a good game basically a C-tier game. I also hope this was not the 2K sports NFL game I’ve been wait for 16 years for since 2k8.

Started out playing it wasn’t bad, grindy I get it. Noticed after about a week my win card select went from if I won a game it was 11 to now it’s 8. The energy cost one went from 5 to 4 which is whatever. The coins went from 125 for a duplicate card to now it’s 50. I really think that ruins it for me especially the rate at which it all dropped makes me feel like they’ll just keep dropping the rates.

Firstly, if you’re expecting actual football gameplay this isn’t the game for you. You collect players and plays / cards, & choose plays which have varying success rates based off what your opponent chooses and the power of your players / plays. You get to see the plays acted out, but there is no user input. If you’re not into card collector mobile games, you’ll likely find this unenjoyable. Now for those who do like card collectors, after playing around a bit I do think there is potential. Gameplay doesn’t have much depth beyond collect cards / plays and out guess your opponent / the AI but it’s an interesting take on the genre and I love football. We will see how long this lasts and if they continue to flesh it out. The quick reacts mode seems like a “big bank take little bank” where you choose a card and higher overall wins, meh.

There are multiple times where I’ll have max success rate and won’t win the outcome. What’s the point of drawing up a system where you’re winning the strategy side of things, have the better players yet still lose ? If the idea is to have a strictly luck based win/loss scenario why not just have it be a coin toss then ? I’ve also passed challenges stating score a TD in 6 plays or less… and it’ll say I failed… not a bad time waster but it falls short on what it’s potential could be.

I’ll notice A LOT of times that I’ll be on defense & I’ll have them to the point where their chance of succeeding is at 10% probably would be lower if it went lower than 10.. anyways, it’ll be on 10% for them & they’ll succeed on the play more likely than not… then I’ll be on offense & I’ll be at 88% sometimes 90% & the play will fail.. you mean to tell me that the 10% will hold over better than 90% cause I’ve failed MULTIPLE plays with 85-90% & have failed seasons & have had to restart cause of this issue.. So until you fix the odds of the plays I’ll probably back off the game for now.. if it’s updated & stops cheating me, then you guys could potentially see 5 stars in the future! I’m still gonna keep playing, just not as hard as I was..

It’s basically the same as WWE Supercard, but with NFL now. It’s an okay game, but no one was asking for a card battler, especially from 2K. We just want an actual great game we can play, not watch the players do the plays for us. Heck Mobile could actually use better football games than Axis’ mobile offering and Madden Mobile since the latter’s models look horrendous. This game’s models are essentially plucked from either 2K5 or APF 2K8 and textured over with updated team textures. I’m a part of the 2K5 modding team and we’ve done a better job than this with textures with those old models, just saying.

The game is cool to play but the percentages need to be fix… If im on offense and the cpu guess run and i pick pass and also its a 90% chance the play will work n yet they stop me even if my cards are better… I feel 90 percent since thats the highest u can get to should be automatic no matter what.

This game NEEDS to be fixed, on several occasions, I have had multiple plays in a row that were of high chance to succeed but they didn’t and then the whole game depended on 1 play that had a 50% chance to work, and of course, it doesn’t. A game with a percentage score like this needs something to make players feel secure in what they choose to play and not like every play is a coin flip. Every play needs to have a minimum percentage required for it to be successful, for example, an easy play would be a run off tackle. This play gains you four yards or if it fails, you gain nothing, it’s base percentage is 50 something percent. What should happen is this play needs maybe a 65% chance for it to work, if it ends up being less than that it fails, same for all other plays, they need a minimum percentage chance to work

Has potential but honestly it’s cheeks

It’s a great game I just wish u could trade players with other people and buy free agents.

Very inventive, but please include something to do with spare cards and a marketplace to exchange cards. Perhaps collection sets as well to bring meaning to collecting cards that aren’t viable in the lineup.

I’ve been casually playing since it came out and it’s a decent time waster but I see no point in grinding. It takes way too long to get a pack for just a regular gold and the first promo that drop cost premium currency with no way to get a lot of premium currency it’s obvious it wants your money. That’s not a good sign hopefully they add a way for f2p to have a fighting chance against the whales. However my biggest concern though is the way percentages have been working for me, the amount of times the ai won with 10% percent it’s actually laughable it’s clearly rigged if 10% is that high of a chance I need to go to the casino right now. Also I played 1 match in season mode literally made the correct choice each time with better players each time and still somehow lost, its clear that they don’t want you to have a perfect record forever because that was the most rigged match of anything I’ve ever played.

It’s a start for coming back to making football games again which is a good thing I wish it was more like madden mobile back in the day where we could buy players in the auction house and use our team in season mode hopefully the nfl license allows 2k to continue to make football games because madden and madden mobile has been really bad for a long time

This game is fun and I enjoy having a more laid back experience when it comes to NFL games. But the offense chance bar makes literally no sense. I had a play where the bar was basically full and it still failed. And I’ve had a play where the bar is nearly empty and the other team still converts the play into a positive. If you guys were going for the same thing as NBA Supercard, then you failed. Supercard was based specifically off stats. Not off of rng bull. If I pick the correct play AND most of my players have better stats than the other players, I should win that play every single time. I wish I could give this a higher rating. But the rng ruins it quite a bit.

I wish you could control the players in game but either way it’s not the best football game on the AppStore but it’s also not the worst..

First been playing for a week now and I only have one big complaint, they need to have events more often. I joined last Sunday when one was happening but nothing since then. I feel there should be a weekend event and then maybe even a flash event middle of the week to keep game more interesting.

Little things I would like to see added, watch videos to get more games in quick read or events rather than spending in game currency, the ability to use some old cards to level up newer cards or at least something to do with them. Maybe trade 10 gold cards for an emerald something to that effect.

I do love the game play, and think it is great how you can concentrate on certain divisions to work on. I think the game has tons of potential and hope to see it grow.

It’s a ok game not a wonderful experience you guys made wonderful 2k nfl games it’s a good start for the future 👍

This game is a lot fun and has a lot of potential. I loved the game nba my card but they got rid of it. This game reminds me of it. The frustrating parts is that it’s almost impossible to get new plays. I have flipped at least 80 cards and no new plays. Also the max percentage is always 90%. Why not be able to have the full numbers add up and get it to 100% and guarantee success? Also at one point I had 5 plays in a row of 75% or higher and each time it failed. I love the cards, the UI, pack opening layout and idea but just hopefully developers take feedback and improve on certain stuff because I could easily see this as a game to play on a daily basis but just hard when you run the same plays over and over, can’t have 100%play success. A lot of potential

In my opinion is preety good it has decent graphics but try to work on the back ground during the games and stuff it’s better then nfl rivals in my opinion but yeah I like it and I hope this game does good

I think you all should go ahead and make 100% chance and 0% chance a thing as well. Overall still a great game looking forward to updates later on

Love the game so far, but there are definitley a few things missing……I have my whole team emerald…..and one blue that earned through winning the Super Bowl in emerald league…..but now I have no way to get another blue player…..and I don’t understand…..I keep repeating through emerald season but it’s getting boring, and it’s also getting old when I have the computer at 10% chance of sucess and they convert 50% of those, while I get 90% and get stopped 4/10 times. The rewards needs to be better for players that want blue players…..also maybe something I can actually use my coins for besides gold players and equipment, since those players are irrelevant to me now please.

I love this game, but I mean the luck can be weird. Like for example, I have 90% on my offense and the dude gets a catch and only goes for 3 yards. Meanwhile, after the play I have 10% on my offense and the dude gets a catch and gets 10 yards. See what I mean? Now I only have one more issue, that issue is that I hate that the black visors cover the player’s face. I wanna see their face, the game kinda looks weird because of everyone wearing black visors. But besides that, this game is great. I love it, an interesting idea for a madden game but it works.

The game concept and how it’s executed is good. However, I’m 99% sure these percentages on plays aren’t accurate. I’ve had at least 10 4th downs where the CPU has a 10% chance and they get it everytime. There is no way that’s the actual chance. I’ve had more than 20 times where I’ve had 90% and it doesn’t go. Statistically the odds are almost impossible for how the game plays. Other then that it’s good and I enjoy everything, and I’m excited for the new modes to be added once the next NFL season starts.

This mobile game is pretty entertaining as a simple strategy game. It shows the animation possibilities that I anticipate from a full fledged new build like NFL 2K5 or the enhanced and improved version All-Pro 2K8. I’m eager and excited for the future of an NFL 2K simulation product. If that is not possible due to the licensing with EA sports. Please just release an unlocked editable version of football with the superior 2K football/basketball Engine

Best FB game period!!!!!! Great graphics, gameplay and welcome back 2k football!!! It’s been 20 years(official NFL license) It’s showtime!

This game is actually really fun I wouldn’t listen to the bad reviews, I seen one where he said “it takes too long to get a gold player from a pack”… I’ve had this game for less than a week and already had my whole team to emerald it’s not hard to get players really love the concept of this I can’t wait to play the coming soon mode when the season starts, I hope they start making more and more better rarities of cards because I’m gonna finish with blue rarity players soon. But please 2k don’t change up the game too much me personally it’s already good enough, my only suggestion in the future is to add newer modes so people don’t get bored just playing seasons or the red zone. You have my 5 star rating.

We are having fun with it so far. They are adding games/modes as they go along which is great! Hopeful that new card styles to chase drop in near future. Game modes could be explained better and my gut feel are statistical outcomes are not always rewarded at rate that feels appropriate.

First off want to say, love the general idea behind the game, been playing card games for ever it seems, and this one snags my attention.

I’ll keep it simple.

Once you reach a certain point, the game becomes stale and feels annoying to play, there’s not much to do besides 2 modes, there’s not even a team function.. something you would think would come with it..

And the first Promo they decide on was a straight cash grab out the door.. hopefully it doesn’t flop like NBA SC did, really enjoyed that one too.

First off I would just ignore people that give the bad reviews or say it’s bland or boring, the game just came out so I don’t understand why they are expected a Gordon Ramsey tier of a game, for it being brand new it’s a good game, it’s just a great game to waste some time. Is it pay to win!?, ofcourse it is, what 2k,nfl and catdaddy game isn’t. Thats your decision if you want to go broke or not. Gameplay is nice, I’m roughly 3 days in and I’m 40k on my deck and level 17 with $0 spent, First “event card is like the wwe supercard game mode with obstacles, if you want it your looking for about $100 spent. Doesn’t take long to reach the top, yes it’s a grind but well worth it. Great game developer’s and already added double draft picks due to nfl drafts. 100% would recommend trying the game out.

Great game hope they do something good with it. Hope they don’t make a new one every year.

Not pay to win get to emerald season which is the third one you’ll get better players then any buyable pack in store also if u get stuck know to forget season and then restart so u don’t keep loosing to hard teams, season is the best way to get players

In my opinion I love this game, it has your favorite players and you can play as your favorite teams! One thing I don’t like is that I feel like if you can control the game yourself like, madden mobile it has potential to be great and makes the game more fun and authentic to play.

Good Game!

I NEED 2k to make an NFL simulation videogame, and convince the NFL to not renew their exclusive agreement with EA. It has RUINED football videogames. I need you guys to save the genre.

Way to go 2k I was gonna give. It 5 stars regardless I’m just happy yall back good detail love the play calling im just happy yall back

This game is super fun and you can get any player currently in the NFL. I recommend this game to anyone that loves football games.

It’s a great game with a lot of potential. Just lacking content right now is the only negative.
