Score! Hero - Soccer Games Reviews

by Confarts

This game is cool in the sense that you can create your own runs and play with your own character - but there are some MAJOR flaws. Sometimes you will make a perfect pass to your teammate and when they turn around, the AI they will dribble straight into the defender, and will cause you to start all over. This is infuriating especially when there are three to four goals to score and the AI gives the ball away through no fault of your own, this causing you to start the whole level over again and losing a life. An even more annoying flaw is even when you do make the right pass to the right person, there is a chance that for some reason they will dribble the wrong way then turn around with the defender right in front of them, thus causing you to lose another life. It seems absolutely crazy that in order to get past ONE LEVEL YOU MAY STILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH LIVES WITH TWENTY HEARTS. I don’t understand a game that continues to fail you despite you having done everything right. I’m effect example is Season 18 level349 you get to the third goal and the players will not move forward. Passing back and forth between the same players until the opponent takes the ball away. I have tried every variation of pass for THREE WEEKS and it does not move.

When I first got this game i thought it was fantastic, and then over time I realized the amount of bs in this game. It’s almost as bad a dark souls in the amount of bs in that game. Like u will draw a straight line to ur teammate and some defender will just come and head it away while my attacker will just stay there and not do anything and u just end up losing. The goalkeeper are like literal gods as they dive from one side of the goal to the other and u again just end up losing to a bs function of the gameThis brings me to my next point, whenever u lose u have to start from the beginning of the game, so u could have just scored 3 goals but if u give away the ball in the 4th goal, u have to start from the beginning. And then the objectives are sometimes so hard to pull off that it’s almost impossible. Everything is very overpriced in the shop and the game is heavily based upon on micro transactions. Like I have to pay $3 just so I can play the game without waiting? It doesn’t make sense. U get like 20 or so heart lives and i spent all of them on ONE ENCOUNTER. Not one mission but one goal. And I still can’t beat it because where ever i shoot or pass the defenders just make some god-like header or something. I could just go on and on, but I have more important things to do, for now I am done with this game and I might come back in the future if they make the game better.

If you’ve come back to play this game expecting it to be as great as the last time you played it a few years back, YOU ARE WRONG!!! Remember the greatness of being able to play different occasions with different teams scoring on those memorable moments in football? It’s not like that anymore that’s for sure. The game plays great, it’s a fun and fair challenging game, I love it. But who in the world wants to pay 2.99$ just to get infinity hearts, for 24 hours!!!!!!! This is a rich person’s type of app!! I’d rather put my money in between two bread slices, and eat it up than do that! This game is owned by penny pinchers, I downloaded this game right now, and within 46 minutes, I saw a lot of major flaws in this since the last time I played this years ago. It’s a fun game, but the hearts are a major issue! I’d rather go through an advertisement almost every time I mess up on passing or shooting a ball than wait for 5-10 minutes to get a heart after messing up a few times, and they charge $2.99 for infinity hearts so people can actually spend money for something that only lasts for 24 hours!!!! How about paying $2.99 for ad free and infinity hearts!! Great game, but I give this one measly star because of the heart issues!! And I’m deleting ScoreHero, right.... about.... now...

by Jeological

This is a passable version of a shooting and passing soccer mobile game. Only 2-stars, and here’s why I’m deleting it after 2 hours of playing:
I’ve had direct passes intercepted by defenders because my teammates stand and wait for the ball instead of taking one step. It’s also incredibly frustrating to not be able to change your “passing view” and pass to a clearly open player outside of the window. More often than not when you make a killer pass to a teammate they will run with the ball, away from goal, until they run out of bounds like Freddy Adu. If they do get the ball, they’ll turn directly into a defender. If you pass the ball high and in the air, your teammate will stand there like Mesut Ozil and not jump to challenge for the ball while the defender leaps like Sergio Ramos and wins it from a starting position 10 meters away!! Lastly, the keepers get insanely more OP in Season 2, like a primetime Gianluigi Buffon from WC 2006 *making saves with the tip of his toe* good.
It’s criminal. It goes to show that the COM could be better for your team, but it’s rubberbanded by the developers because we’re supposed to spend our lives watching ads. Make the game $5 with unlimited “energy.” Then I’ll give you money. Until then, delete.

by Airjordan🏀🏀🏀

Listen, this game is fun and extremely addictive, but the game flaws extremely outweigh the fun of it. I have never been more frustrated with a game like i have with this one; I do not swear often but this game makes me yell out cuss words at my teammates and opponents in the game. The gameplay is absolute garbage. You don’t get to decide when the player decides to shoot or pass it, for example: you’ll send a lead pass to your teammate when they have beaten their defender, they will have open field between them and the goal and they will stop for a 50 yard goal attempt, stupid! Or your player will decide to pass it when nobody is guarding him and there are defenders all over his teammates. Not to mention that the opponents have super speed and can jump 10 ft in the air to steal the ball. The goalie floats to block your opposite corner shots. Teammates will dribble the ball out of bounds or into the possession of the defenders. Also, if you turn the ball over, you have to reset from the beginning of the match and not just where you left off. Some levels are nearly impossible because it will make you score 3 or 4 goals without a single error. There are just too many flaws for me to enjoy this game and I might get in trouble with my wife if I keep yelling the f-word to my stupid teammates in the game. I am deleting this game and I suggest that you won’t play it until the developers fix the crappy gameplay.

by Slicedpickles1234

Played this game about 2 years ago, deleted it because of issues that weren’t resolved. I redownloaded it thinking the game would be perfect now, only to find out that nothings changed!!! The AI is as braindead as ever before! Your team will randomly dribble the ball out of bounds for no reason, they’ll try to take hail merry shots at the goal despite being 1/3 of the field away with multiple defenders covering the line of sight, they’ll stand there and do nothing to get to a pass as the other team will run across the field and cut in front of them, taking the ball and kicking it away, starting you over. The other team’s AI makes it seem like a pro team playing against a handicap team. If your shot placement is not absolutely perfect, the goalie will skip across the goal and save it, like actually skip/teleport, watch it when it happens. The progression is tied to stars and you can’t see what you need to do to get stars until you beat the level and replay it, and with braindead AI you’ll be hitting the replay button over and over and over again. Unfortunately this game’s core gameplay is fun, but everything surrounding it is terrible.

by Crowing Pike

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.

by Johnny Hummus

Many other reviews say the same thing. If the developers could make a few fixes this game could be fantastic. Way more time seems to have been put in making the defenders great than your team mates somewhat competent. I don’t mind the game being difficult, but sometimes you build a wonderful move, thread an inch perfect through ball to give your winger a perfect place to put in a good cross... and none of your players have moved from their position before you made the pass. As if they’ve just switched off and you’re now in a position to cross to no one. It’s also ridiculous that in some missions you need to score 4 goals and if you mess up the very first pass on the last goal you go back to the beginning. That really needs to be reworked. You should be able to control a bit more of the decision making. If your striker is through on goal you should be able to get him to dribble closer rather than just take a shot from 35 yards out every time. Or a winger should be able to back pass if your forwards literally do not move anywhere near the box.

I get it, you’re trying to make money and push people towards buying bucks so they can hit more rewinds, but if the physics are this awful there’s NO POINT in ever putting your own money into the game!

by Sklavokis6969

As many others have mentioned, this game is extremely fun and addicting. But there's a few problems that could make it much better! The heart system is no good. It's ridiculous to make players wait a certain amount of time to be allowed to play the game. ScoreHero is essentially useless for a period of time after you run out of hearts. But only if you're not willing to pay $3 to be allowed to play it for an unlimited amount of time for 24 hours. If the hearts were removed, the game could be much better. I understand that monetizing a game is the point of creating ScoreHero in the first place, but don't disallow playing unless you fork out some dough. That's just not smart. Second, the game could be made better if the passing and dribbling was made more controllable. Limiting the passing to a small field makes the game very frustrating and unrealistic. If players were given the option to pass over the entire field, or the option to continue dribbling the ball after the game is randomly stopped and you are forced to make a pass or take a ridiculous shot on goal. AI movement off ball is beyond trash. Players will sit off sides while multiple passes are made. Super frustrating.

A few small improvements could take this game from 2-3 stars out of 5 to an easy 5/5. Changes would be appreciated!

by ReptoGuy

The main gameplay mechanic of this is genius, and if put into use properly, could make for an excellent game. However, the way it is used in this title is horrendous. Firstly, a level-based system for a game like this does not make sense. A full-fledged career mode with other modes available would make for a much more enjoyable game. Secondly, the life system is thoroughly flawed. The fact that if a defender so much as touches the ball, you lose a life, makes this much less fun. Also, the AI movement is both inconsistent and unrealistic. It’s hard to enjoy playing, or even complete a level, when a defender can jump 10 feet in the air, or when the goalkeeper can effortlessly dive across the goal line in an instant. And if/when a turnover occurs, the level is reset to the beginning, and a life is lost. So in the event of a stunning goal, a turnover completely voids everything that occurred before it. This game is still somewhat fun to play despite all of its flaws, but not very much so. If the developers would use the mountain of feedback and constructive criticism they’ve received to improve their work, then many of these problems would be solved.

by Favadus

While the concept and how you play this game is awesome, the gameplay really dampens it from being enjoying especially being a hard football fan. Firstly your players are flawed versus the defenders. Aerials 70% of the time will be won by them, even when your team has an equal chance the player will just stand there and the defenders run from 45 yards to head the ball away. Making a lead pass or playing the ball into space for your teammates doesn’t guarantee them continuing to dribble that way at all. Even when you pass them into space sometimes with no defender in front of them, the player stops and you’re forced to take a shot from 50 yards instead of them just advancing into the box for a better shot. The mechanics for build-up play needs to be polished some more for a tad more freedom in attacking especially with harder challenges. And game freezes at times, wasting energy for me that I think also hinders the game when you have to slightly overpay for unlimited energy for a day. With those problems fixed, this game could be even greater.

by DeFuaLtyPlayr

At first I thought this game would be a cool soccer game but then over time it started to get on my nerves. The goalkeeper would literally be one side of the goal and when I tried to shoot, he would glitch and block my shot. And the fact that you pay $3.00 just to get infinite hearts for ONE DAY! Then I deleted ScoreHero and about 2 weeks later I decide to give it another try but I was still disappointed. When I was playing, my character would constantly lose the ball or go out of bounds and it frustrated me that the opponents could jump 10 feet and steal the ball. At this point I was fed up so I uninstall it and 3 weeks later I downloaded it again one more try because they added tournaments. I thought maybe they fixed the game and made it better but I was WRONG! The same problems occurred and the tournaments seemed harder than the regular version. I couldn’t even get past level 2 of the tournament. I’d advise anyone to not play this game since it can become very frustrating to play. For now, I gonna other First touch games such dream league soccer where there no problems to the game. I’ll came back to this game once it gets better.

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.

by KSmith1886

Once you get near stage 100 many of the stages are very upsetting. Most of the time once you cleanly pass the ball to a player they will just steadily dribble the ball out of bounds or into a defender both instances causing you to lose a segment of a heart. Even though you clearly pass it and the player is wide open this tends to happen the majority of the time. Also if you do happen too pass it to a teammate that is near a defender, naturally the defender will make an attempt at the ball and when you need your player to dribble to have an open pass they do not. This leaves you no opportunity to pass the ball because every time you do the defender deflects the pass 100% of the time. The reason why this is so upsetting is because of the fact you lose a heart every time and the majority of the time this happens on the third or fourth part of a stage causing you to either use your tickets for something you couldn’t control or restart the stage entirely from the first part. If this were to be fixed that would been great and ScoreHero would become a five star app but for now it’s a three star app.

by Helpfulneeeessss

Overall I play this game about once a month. A lot of my passes don’t even work. Even if there great passes. The AI seems to always know where I’m going. I’m also noticing that the AI goalie is amazingly talented but my goalie can’t even save a pass. I would for sure love the game more if the saves and dribbles and other things were more realistic. I get annoyed when the AI dribbles right in the defender and take one chance of me beating levels. I was almost gonna delete the game but instead I just got off. I really want you to see this and fox everything. I see other complaints too. And I haven’t seen a thing change. The once thing I also notice is that is does shots that it doesn’t have to do. I can take a shot way closer but it decides to make me shoot for outside the box. It also makes me pass right at the defenders because it dribbles right at them and then decides to make a pass. The players also seem to not care about the ball. They don’t even jump for the ball when a lob come to them. They just stand and watch. Maybe if this is fixed I would probably play it 3-5 times a month. That’s all.

by Wihokie

This game is very fun and is a great way to pass time, until you realize how unrealistic and impractical it is. When you pass the ball perfectly to a player, the defender just runs 10 feet in .1 seconds and jumps in front of my player, and the player just stands there doing nothing! And the goal keeper can just jump the whole length of the goal in 1 second. Another problem is that all the defenders have to do is touch the ball to make you loose a life, I just had a game where the other teams defender slid in front and deflected it perfectly to another one of my players, but is STILL looses a life! That is the most stupid and ridiculous aspect in the any game that I’ve ever seen!

Lets say you have this crazy goal, and then it starts the next play and you loose the ball(and you don’t have any spare money and you’ve run out of videos), THAN IT DELETES YOUR AMAZING GOAL AND STARTS THE WHOLE THING ALL OVER, its so frustrating and annoying and just makes me want to quit. Which is sad because it is super fun about 60% of the time, and the developers put a lot of work in. But if the problems aren’t fixed, I might have to delete the game.

by SuperBro2112

It's so fun and addicting but many problems!! Goal keepers are not superheroes and able to fly goal to goal in one leap with ease!! The defenders are able to get the ball next to their head with THIER feet! And defenders are As fast as Hector bellerin and Bale combined able to run across the field in seconds!! And I lose a heart when the other team just TOUCHES THE BALL? This is an outrage! And it's not my fault when the player I pass to decides to run into a defender or run out of bounds!! This game just makes me mad! Another reason is that the heart system is so annoying and I can't pass lvl 339! I've been in it for almost 3 weeks! The new holiday event LOOKED good but it was impossible! The first level is so hard I can't beat it. Another flaw is that when a player shoots the ball and it hits the post it either automatically fails you the level or bounces back, Feet away from my player but he instead Shakes his head in disappointment for 3 seconds and hector bellerin speeds through and takes the ball. So many flaws one game. I'll try to finish my levels but if I can't, I might delete 😪

by Ikeberg

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.

by Tamdanlick

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’ve played this game off and on for a few years now. it’s a pretty decent time killer and can be rewarding when you pull of a crazy top bins curler. but my god, the AI for the players, especially for your team, is a bit dopey. You will have a CM receive the ball at midfield and then for whatever reason, decide to dribble the ball all the way back to your own teams 18 yd box before he decides to pass. other times, you’ll play a through ball to your winger, and upon receiving it, they’ll just dribble straight out of bounds even if there’s no defenders in sight. additionally, NEVER expect your players to challenge the ball in the air if there is a defender anywhere in the vicinity. you could lob it straight to their forehead and they will just stand there waiting for the defender to intercept it. the “lives” system is also a bit annoying, especially when you run out of lives due to the fore mentioned mentally challenged AI. to turn this off, they Devs want you to pay 2.99 PER DAY. greedy sacks of Kaka if you ask me…

by Koping Nretnick

First of all this is my favorite game ever and it was the first one I downloaded but it does have some downsides: the goalie is super annoying because they can dive longer than usual and the only way to score is to curve it also the defenders are annoying to because on corners I cross the ball and the first thing it hits is the defender but back to the goalie they can also jump higher than usual to and the players on my team are just as bad they always run the ball out of bounds also whenever they do something wrong they don’t try to get it back and i have a long list of improvements like: why can’t you just let the user’s control the other players also please delete the hearts they’re super annoying also why do the users have to spend money on heart’s
I don’t know why hair styles are so expensive 80 dollars is a lot to save also the hardest part is the volleys whenever I try to land the ball perfectly It either hits the post or the goalie but overall it is a great game bye for now ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

by Josephcastillo

This game was fun and all but I don’t like the fact about having lives and waiting I don’t see a point of that and when you pass it to a teammate they either dribble out of bounds or give the ball away to the opposition without trying and when you give a long pass to a teammate the opponent headers it first unless it’s away from a defender. The goal keeper is like a god and missing or not scoring on your 3rd or 4th goal you have to restart the whole level this is frustrating you either start to lose lives or having to spend over priced deals on this game to try again to retry to where you were at. The challenges are difficult especially with all of these things that happen in the match and going to the next season you either pay or have enough stars to pass to the next season. I hope they fix these problems with the game cause it makes the game go from fun to frustration and all these others reviews say it to.

by GoldGamer2,000,000 🎉🙂

This is a game high ranked on my favorites list. That is coming from someone who finds most game’s unappealing. You get many opportunities to pass and make goals. And if you miss a goal or make a mistake you can replay that event for 10 dollars. This game makes me happy. You get 5 hearts, (4 or 5 tries in 1 heart) so that is a lot of tries to complete the level. I know people have complaints about this game but honestly I think it is awesome how it is. The 3 minor thinks I might ask to be changed is that 1) if you mess up and don’t replay... you have to start the WHOLE level over. That bugs me sometimes. Also, 2) if you want to change the color of your cleats or hair etc, it costs a ton of money. I would like that to be changed. And 3) There aren’t any girl characters and I would like that to be changed. Beside that, like I said. It is a unbelievably fun and appealing game. 5 stars all day long!

by Buzzforce

I love this game so much but there’s just so many problems with the ai. first things first when you are crossing the ball to an open man the ai becomes the flash and hulk at the same time the ai just runs right in front of me/ teammates or he jumps as high as hulk from behind me and clearers the ball away.

Now next thing about the ai. The goalkeeper becomes super man and fly’s across the goal and saves the shot but unlike reality nobody can save that shot.

Next thing when the ai is trying to get the ball they become flash again and take the ball that nobody can get in real life.

Now about teammates/me when their dribbling and dribble right into the defense and I lose a heart when they still have the ball and when they dribble out of bounce is just annoying.

One more thing about teammates/me when I hit the post and the ball bounces just right in front of me and my player is just complaining and doesn’t take the ball is annoying.

This is not to the ai it’s about the hearts first thing is that when you have to score 4 goals or something like that and then when you lose on the 4 goal it’s annoying to start over
And one more thing is I wish hearts was not in there so that you can enjoy the game.

Ok enough complaining I enjoy this game a lot these are suggestions and little bit of complaining I hope you guys reply love the game ❤️
