Made for you to lose and spend money
This game is really fun however it’s programmed for you to lose just like a slot machine, making you want to spend money on coins and players.
The rubberbanding AI is easy to spot. You start playing well and get to 10,000 coins and all of a sudden games become impossible.. average players on the AI team all of a sudden have max sprint even though the actual team is rated lower than yours.
3 stars for the gameplay and amount of fun the game is but make it PVP and fairer for people to actually just enjoy the game instead of making more money for yourselvesShow lessAngTuck
Fun, highly recommend. Addictive
This game is really fun. Games take about 2-3 mins. There is no annoying ads you’re forced to watch. It’s important to win your first couple games to build coin reserve. I recommend having 4x entry cost. Mainly because the coin values seem way off. Like each card pack gives less than 500 coins. If you use real money it cost $20 for 50k coins. No idea why anyone would pay that much. I’ve been playing for a week or two and each match I play cost 35k to enter 70k to the winner. Upgrading players doesn’t cost that much either. I haven’t bought any of the premium currency but you can earn a lot just playing daily.
Goalie AI kind of wonky. Seems like the game sometimes favors one player over another. Like if you’re on a losing streak you’ll have a much higher goal percentage on shots. Other player can combat this by not allowing shots but definitely a little something that’s there.
I also can’t figure out tournaments. Like I will see the same profile pictures a few days later. I’m pretty sure there is some bots and some real players. Which makes sense because there is a 7 second match making for 8 teams. Still fun.Show lessNickaplease!
Enjoying it!!! Some issues
The game is a blast if you are looking to scratch an soccer itch. I have played around 120 matches and I learned a few things.
One, you shouldn’t be afraid to play the more costly matches. The game matches you with someone around your team level.
Two, you are playing a bot more often than humans. It becomes pretty obvious when you play a dozen matches and you see that you pass two/three times as much as you opponents.
Three, good luck winning in penalty shots. As I mentioned before, you are playing bots more often than humans. So if a match needs to be determined by PKs than you probably will lose. The bot will know where you are shooting and you will be blocked more than you block the bots shots. Now I’m not saying you can’t win, I just know I have blocked maybe 10 shots in PKs and I have played over a 100 matches so that’s about the main fix I would want to see in this game.
Four, This game is/can be a pay to win. I get devs need funding so I can’t hold this against them. I just want to remind people that there will be matches where you get stomped. Just look at the plates level versus team level and you can usually tell who paid for some extra card packs.
Five, you can progress just by playing the game. You don’t have to spend money but you can.
I haven’t spent any money and I win about 83% of the time. So just keep trying and make smart plays.Show lessFox Valentine
Good game design but awfully rigged…
This game has great controls and is nicely designed. However, it’s terribly rigged and funnels you towards a ‘pay to win’ system.
I have quite a bit of experience with this game now and have experienced a variety of so called skill levels throughout the game as a Diamond tier player myself. The goalkeepers are essentially pointless as any chances within a certain range go in with perfectly placed incredibly powerful shots, rendering your goalkeepers pointless.
I’ve lost endless games conceding ridiculous goals that are completely un-scorable for yourself as a player. There is a distinct way for you as a player to score, which is completely different from the way the bots or so called ‘PVP players’ score.
I hope that the unfair rigging can be improved as the fundamentals for a fun and engaging game are present here. The recent addition of a season pass although ‘pay to win’ is engaging and at least offers a free tier. The seasonal ‘Euro’ event also offers a fresh revamp, however more could still be done to fully utilise the seasonal event, through more game modes etc.
Overall, there is some fun to be had in this game if you can set aside losing many games to unavoidable rigged circumstances. I myself will frustratingly continue to play this game, as the good game design/controls, graphics and player variety, combined with my love for football are just enough for me to persevere with the agony of rigged match ups and gameplay.Show lessLewis_LA

I’ll start by saying I really enjoyed this game and didn’t mind throw a few bucks here and there at it because I enjoyed the game enough to do so. But for some unknown reason I’d play games then not receive the rewards for winning which dwindled my in game currency to low to actually play any matches even though I should’ve been doubling my money for each win.. I contacted the devs and they seemed to be working on the issue only to tell me that it isn’t in their policy to refund in game currency.. I’m not sure what that means considering I never got the currency in the first place and all I was asking for was the currency I had won to keep playing games. I wasn’t asking for a cash money refund just the currency I won to keep enjoying the game. My advice to those who are thinking about this game is to avoid it or paying hard earned money for anything in this game because you won’t be valued as a customer or player..Show lessCaptain c83
Don’t get this game if you get easily frustrated
I don’t know where to begin... when I first got this game I dominated, I made double digest mainly Bc I’m a Stickman soccer veteran, then I got better players and everything just sucked... why do we need connection if we aren’t even playing with actual players??? The AI be making the most IMPOSSIBLE GOALS in the most IMPOSSIBLE ANGLES ever. I be trying to make the same shot at the same places and it doesn’t even come CLOSE. When I take penalties it’s as if it KNOWS where I’m going to shoot, I’m not even kidding. It’s always the goalden goal where they always block it and it’s really impossible how that ALWAYS HAPPENS. Why is their a pause button during a game IF IT DOESNT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I expected more from this game, especially since it’s partnered with the same company that made Stickman soccer. I be going against AI with 100+ more points than be on skill level, how is that fair. Not trying to be cocky but I’ve always been a beast in Stickman soccer, and this game is like Stickman soccer, but the AI is out of this world. They always be making goals as soon as the game starts. Fix this, this is unfair to many people, it’s a problem when the #1 ranked player in the world barely has a 80% win ratio. ALSO UPDATE I WON LIKE 2 GAMES AND BET 25k AND SOMEHOW IT DIDNT GIVE ME MY MONEY!!! GIVE MY MONEY BACKShow lessreadthisnoworelse

But quickly becomes ridiculous.
After awhile, they toss team power out the door and it doesn’t matter if your opponent is 100 points below yours or above yours. You losing appears to be predetermined…
1) 9/10 of your slide tackles are called for fouls
2) 1/10 of their tackles are called for fouls
3) opponent shot accuracy definitely increases to laughable levels - on the whole, regardless of where they’re shooting from, the computer makes probably 90% of their shots. Lose 4-3, they have 4 shots to your 12. Lose 1-0, they have 1 shot to your 12.
4) Epic grade keepers seem to play half the time. Posting save percentages between 0-10% and they don’t even try. Computer shoots from 30 yards with two defenders in their face, and the keeper just stands there while the ball goes into the net…won’t even dive or jump; lift an arm, anything!
5) computer won’t let you build a lead. Score a goal in the 1st minute, you’re tied by the 3rd. Take a 0-0 tie into the 90th minute and score, more often than not, results in overtime and then the shootout, which has to be predetermined. Whenever it’s a do or die shot, your guy kicks it straight down the middle and the keeper doesn’t dive. Could make 5 upper 90s in a row, aim in the same spot, and kick it down the middle to lose. Yay!
Like I said. Fun at first, but turns frustrating and impossible to win.Show lessArchyArch
Fun game with big issues
Legitimate and honest review here.
The game is fun and challenging however some things NEED to be addressed in priority order.
1. Referees prefer opponent over you. The amount of fouls you get versus opponents on each slide tackle feels like 10:1. This needs to be at least even for both sides overall.
2. Goalkeepers are broken. I’ve had many games where I’m in a perfect position and opponent keeper saves a shot after shot ( the goalkeeper is sometimes not even rated high). On the other hand, the opponent shoots from almost anywhere and scores most of the time. I’ve had games where the score is equal but I’ve had 5 times more shots on target which were all saved flawlessly. Very frustrating. Almost feels like if the game wants you to lose, you will.
3. When going into the arena selection menu, the game should automatically show the highest stadium the player can afford. (No point showing the 30k arena when the player has 5k coins).
4. When I want to pass the ball across the goal, most of the time the ball is crossed instead to some far player. Please make it so the power of the pass determines if you want to pass to the nearest player or cross to a further player.
5. Of course, add real PVP. This way the game will be more challenging and fun but also fairer and less luck based.
6. Maybe have the tournaments pay out the initial fees to winners and partially to runners up.
Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps.Show lessAnton Dmy
Money taker
Look I get it, apps are like every other business there to make money, even the “free” ones. That being said, don’t market your app as though you are actually playing other people because folks, you aren’t. If you don’t believe me then the next time you play this and either win or lose a match wait for the opponent to show that they want a rematch then exit the app and come back later-it can be 5 minutes or even 20-30 minutes. When you come back as long as it hasn’t reset then you will still be able to clock on the rematch button and play that opponent. Also once you reach a certain level the app matches you up with “people” far better than you regardless of what their number suggests and beats you with ridiculous game plan and that a person is just unable to do. They do this in hopes that you will purchase coins and gems or other things to make your team “better.” It was fun for a while until it got ridiculous so I’m out. Folks don’t waste your money or your time.Show lessGhjjdddfh
Frustrating progression
This game is almost awesome. There are a lot of charms: building a team with fun characters, playing through multi-level tournaments, watching epic goals bounce around the net. I can’t rate it too highly, though, because it is only fun for a week or two. The main problem is that the progression is not linear. It doesn’t really feel like you’re in control of your destiny; getting better and better, and beating better and better competition. It feels like the game lets you win sometimes, and doesn’t let you win at other times. There are so many things that are out of your control, from the difficulty of your opponent, to the speed of the players, to which passes are completed cleanly, to which fouls are called, and especially which shots are saved. All this makes it feel like you aren’t really playing a game that you’re improving at, but instead like you are just watching a story that’s out of your hands. This means that the fun of basic gameplay doesn’t last very long, even though it has all the ingredients for a really cool mobile soccer game.Show lessSpleezy
