  • Great game but missing stuff

    Absolutely love this game and have played it every day since but while playing I have realized a few things that are missing. First problem I realize is the chance missed thing. It completely ruins the point of spending coins on a good defense and goalkeeper. It would be great to be able to stop the other side from attacking and be able to use defense. Second of all. If I were to start out with a big team like Bayern or Barcelona we should at least start with a few good players and start out with good stadium and good training facilities. Third. Maybe the inclusion of leagues and other tournaments such as Europa league and the conference league and maybe Leagues like the Argentinian league and some other smaller ones like k league, polish league, swiss league, Serbian league, Romanian,bulgarian,Ukrainian, and saudi. And maybe include a few more league tournaments to make leagues more Interesting and add more trophy’s to your cabinet. Now leagues are kind of useless but adding more tournaments and league tournaments would help spice up the game and make it better.

  • Almost great

    The actual game play of this game is quite entertaining and it is just challenging enough to keep it interesting. I had a lot of fun slowly building my team over the first season and improving each week. Then the second season started and most of my players contracts expire very quickly. Since you spend all your money from the previous season building your team and improving facilities you have no money starting out to extend contracts. Sure, you will earn enough within 10 games to keep some, but you will lose enough to make it feel like you’re starting all over and making no progress. This was never the case with retro bowl and I feel like this one thing is what kept me from continuing to play this game. Please ease up on the contracts and allow us a chance to build a team. Also, more customization or even a chance to create a team or change a team like in retro bowl would be very nice.

  • Great game! But…

    I’ve really been enjoying this game so far! The games aren’t too long so I can easily play during some down time.

    The ability to play across multiple leagues and competitions is very enjoyable as well and is good incentive to collect trophies across different leagues.

    My biggest complaint which is kinda game breaking, is the contract system. At the end of each season, I’ve had players whose contract won’t expire for another 3-5 years expire before the season ends. Which forces you to either renew or release them. And if you have a great team… each contract is not cheap and practically forces you to restart at the next season. Theres really no way around it unless you want to spend real money each season on the in game currency to have enough coin to renew all players, which is very unfair. Or swap teams/leagues each season. I sincerely hope this is a bug. I’m happy to spend a little money on this game for players and in game currency. Just not every season (which is about 20-30 matches).

  • Advice from former retro video game dev on online websites

    Here’s some advice I been successful in these types of games before like Minecraft to scratch but here’s some advice that will help you
    Number one you should update the game more often like monthly so you can assure you can always address issues quicker and you should update a league when the season end like update the Japan league when the teams get relegated or promoted and two you should add a name editor and you should had eufa but you can rename it to something like Europe championship or something. Finally add Central American leagues adding Latin American leagues will help cause Hispanics are one of the largest ethnic groups and the largest in both north and South America so adding more leagues can appeal to those countries also you should add more Arab and Asian teams to appease those ethnic groups too don’t forgot bout Africa also add Ukraine for obvious reasons cause we stand with Ukraine from a former retro game dev

  • Very Disappointed

    I am absolutely in love with RETRO BOWL and I’ve been playing it since it came out I have won every achievement and spent money on the game and still play it often. I was hoping RETRO GOAL was going to provide the same kind of lovely arcade style sports game but sadly IT DID NOT…First off, why is my team the only people with no competence no matter what start level they are. In what world would a 5 start player gain control of a ball and run a straight line out of bounds and no teammates make an attempt to make a run and if they do every single time my team gains possession they’re facing the wrong way because as I said they NEVER RUN FOWARD? How am I supposed to play authentic futball when my team acts like they don’t know how to play. I am playing as PSG with all 5 star stats and easy difficulty. I should not be getting angry at the ridiculous AI. Not to mention every time the other team touches the ball they somehow accurately clear it across the pitch and I miss my opportunity every time. The game is just downright unfair I already said I would spend money on it so I don’t know why it has to be so difficult to accomplish things. Please make the AI more responsive and play like real players. When they get the ball stop making them stand there backwards to goal. It’s unfair and unrealistic. I cannot complete passes if everyone of them is a back heel to the opposition.

  • Has potential to be special

    I downloaded this game and had fun after the first 10 games and decided to purchase the full game. Game has been super fun to play and I have not spent a single day not playing the game. However, I’ve played the game for quite some time now and have some complaints about it. My first complaint is the dreading “Chance Missed”. What’s the point of having a great goalkeeper and amazing set of defenders if I can’t use them to play defense against the opposite team? I’d love to be able to defend against the opposing team instead of seeing the “chance missed” message. My second complaint is player contracts. They make no sense. I had player contracts that were supposed to last 4 years+. However, after the season had ended, player contracts would be near of even expiring, which is really annoying. Not sure if it’s a glitch or what but please fix this. Other than that, I think that player and stadium customization would be great. Lastly, when switching to a big team, players should not be poor along with training ground, youth academy, etc. If I get the opportunity to switch to a team like Real Madrid, I would expect to have a great set of players. These are just some things that I’ve noticed while playing the game for the past few weeks. Hope you resolve these issues!

  • You need to make it completely free to play

    I downloaded the game not thinking it would be fun or anything, then I started playing and I started to get the hang of it and started to like and I was playing and playing, till it said I had to pay for the ultimate version to continue playing and I was completely disappointed, so I just deleted the game, you should not make a game where you have to play it l, your other game retro bowl, is amazing, I play it all the time and there is no restrictions like retro goal, you can buy the ultimate addition just for additional stuff like costum jerseys and stuff which I think is cool, all im saying is you need to make it free to play all the way and use the ultimate version for additions like retro bowl.

  • Really nice game, needs some additions. MUST PLAY

    JUST SO YOU KNOW: Offline and online game. Must pay for full version after 10 games (1$). Easy to learn controls. Simple and fun.

    This is probably one of the best mobile football (soccer) games I have played on mobile, it is offline compatible which I LOVE a tip for new players, the game is free, but after 10 games you are forced to buy the full version (1$). Some aspects of the game confuse me such as the yellow flag above a player, does that mean they are offside? I’m not sure. If you could put some sort of dictionary for everything that would be really nice! Suggestions: I think it would be nice for new players to add an option to buy the unlimited version+ an amount of gold, for a reasonable price, so that people get get the full version AND some extra gold (or money or whatever the currency is 😂) But still have the option to buy just the full version. Another suggestion is; as the game becomes more popular and such, I think it would be very fun to be able to play defense, instead of it just saying “chance missed” whenever it goes past half field. Thank you for making this game, I love both this game and retro bowl. I hope the developers can make more of these games! If the developers could read this and respond to this I would be very happy! 😃 From, your #1 fan (probably not #1 but still up there)

  • Money and Team Training

    Money is earned very slowly, you need to go through a lot of seasons in order to buy normal players, but you are struggling very hard due to the fact that you need to constantly increase morale and lvl up, update the contract and heal. If you assemble a full team, then there is not enough money at all for them to live up to half of the season at least. some of the moments and just score 3 goals and knock the ball out of the field to finish the match already. The money that was earned in the international competition cannot be taken away either, so why did we earn it then? I thought it could be different. The game is normal, but the minus is very strong in coins, so if you do not plan to invest a lot of personal money in the game or you are not one of those who like to collect coins for a long time, the game is not for you. Once this is fixed it will be much better for everyone. And the interest will remain the same

  • seems good but is bad

    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.
