User reviews

Took about 10 games before I turned the corner on this one

Initially it felt a lot like luck based rock/paper/scissors but then as I began use the slight variations of the defenses and offenses and I purchased and expansion the game became more enjoyable.
Still this is an abstraction of football but accounting for that it has become a very fun app to play.

Bad rolls are insane, don’t bother

App is a good implementation but the incredible tendency for computer rolls being positive and yours being negative outcomes is amazing. I sadly charted the rolls of a few games just to see outcomes to see if what I thought was happening was and it’s almost unreal how often you’ll get penalties and turnovers or just general negative outcomes vs computer rolls. Don’t get this app.

Custom teams?

Would have given this game 5, but the option for using custom teams in leagues doesn't work despite it saying "tap twice to use custom teams". Get this sorted and I'll be a happy man.

Nice concept...

Poorly executed.

Great game

Yes, great game. Better sound would add to the atmosphere, and finding an online game is impossible, but there's enough here for board game fans to enjoy for the price.
