### 4/5 — Good 👍 game but a mistake and ad stuff

*2024-08-10, version 1.17*

First: In a kickoff return and you get tackled in the end zone it counts as a safety not a touchback. Second: add a button that says change a player’s name.third: add a 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th quarter.4th: add when you don’t think you can’t reach the yellow line add a choice to punt or kick a feldgoal .5th: why does the CPU always make the extra point good .make the CPU sometimes miss the extra point and make it make tthem go for 2 points.next step: add a scoreboard and add penalty call the jerseys are NFL teams jerseys. Please make us make our own jerseys and editing the color of the helmet pants and jersey instead of choosing which NFL jerseys every time I choose the Cowboys home jerseys and I was gonna play a team and all of a sudden the Cowboys were blue and the other team were red I mean, I’m playing I was playing the Chiefs ADD ALL OF THEM!!?

### 4/5 — Maybe add score board in game

*2023-12-02, version 1.16*

I think you should add score board in game because I’m always wondering what the score is. Thanks! (if you can do it)

### 2/5 — Lol

*2023-06-29, version 1.12*

On kickoffs , return right and hit the burners.  TD every time

### 4/5 — It glitched out but still good

*2023-02-05, version 1.12*

I rated this 4 stars because it is a good game and fun to play. I like a lot of glow monkey games and other stuff. Just the last 2 times I played it glitched and took me back to my home screen. If you notice this glow monkey I would check for any bugs in here

### 4/5 — To easy

*2022-05-07, version 1.11*

I win every time I think you should make the defense on hall of fame a lot harder and make it a little more easy to pass I have only made 9/30 passes if you could do that would be great.

Thanks

### 4/5 — Add more features

*2022-04-09, version 1.11*

Add more stadiums, and more weather like rain snow etc

### 3/5 — More Customizable Teams

*2022-02-12, version 1.11*

This game has a lot of potential , I love the team editing ability . If I were able to do this to all teams this game wold have a TON of replayability . Heck , I would even pay for the in a full version . Hope to see it soon !

### 4/5 — Love the game! should add some fun updates

*2022-01-15, version 1.09*

I really love this game and every other glow monkey game , the only reason why I didn’t put 5 stars because I think the devs should add catching animations and tackle animations for when you get tackled you fall to the ground , I also think you should add names on jersey so when you customize a player you can customize their name on the back of their jersey , another thing 4th and goal should have is when you catch the ball with someone it shows their name after you customize their name before in the customization and these last things I think this game should have is body types and a little better defense , the defense Is really easy to get pass . But yea this is my opinion on the game out of 10 I give it a 8/10 not a full 10 because of these reasons (disclaimer: this isn’t a hate comment)

### 4/5 — needs some work on passing

*2021-12-19, version 1.09*

It looks like running is your best option i just can’t complete a pass and i have been playing this game for about a year

### 4/5 — Amazing

*2021-12-13, version 1.09*

The game is amazing but graphics could be better, for example, when it says “it’s good” the ball is blurry. But amazing game over all

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2021-11-10, version 1.09*

I play on computer and I love this game it’s amazing never tried it on iPhone tho so lets see!!

### 4/5 — This game is good

*2021-10-16, version 1.08*

I love this game but one thing that could change the defense and unless you’re on rookie it is nearly impossible to stop a team from scoring but offense is pretty awesome

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-09-08, version 1.08*

It’s such a good game well made, and I love to see the fact that it made it to App Store keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Ez game

*2021-04-18, version 1.08*

When I am on y’all of fame I score 780 points In 5 minutes all you need to do is change the angle of the camera to make your own angle and the graphics

### 2/5 — Meh

*2021-03-21, version 1.08*

The game would be so fun if there wasn’t a add every few plays, like I’m trying to enjoy my time off not look for games that I have no intentions of downloading

### 1/5 — Disappointed, when playing I couldn’t help notice the lack of effort

*2024-08-05, version 1.17*

For details what I found wrong we’re clear, every o-lineman where’s the same number, number 1 which the quarterback also wears, the create a team is just renaming a current NFL team, no animations and instead have cut scenes, big hit being a guaranteed big hit and a 50/50 fumble chance which is alway recovered by the defence, the controls being wierd as if I could turn when I want, switching any running angle results in a “juke” passing is not based on timing, I could throw it to my receiver very late and the ball just teleports to him, also had to point out if you do an onside kick, run at them full speed, and click big hit it’s always a turnover, my quarterback was a fast as my right guard and my running back, you don’t know the score till the end of the game, when you score the stands start shaking and off the field it’s just one sold color, not once have I been so disappointed in a football game since madden 23

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-02-13, version 1.12*

This game has terrible graphics and it’s so hard to tackle! Do not get this game!

### 1/5 — Try different teams going to the super bowl

*2022-12-23, version 1.11*

Tampa bay Allways makes it to the super bowl

### 1/5 — Crappy

*2021-03-15, version 1.08*

The game is way too easy to get a TD I mean you can sprint and they won’t touch you you can win to easy even for hall of fame

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2020-12-28, version 1.07*

This is way too easy. It’s a good game, despite bugs, but it is ridiculous easy.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2020-08-15, version 1.06*

I can’t move during a lot of places and it’s bs

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2020-06-20, version 1.06*

Every time I kick a field goal after the touchdown I get kicked out of the game

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2020-05-21, version 1.06*

Fun game but every time i score a touchdown and go for the extra point my game crashes :/

### 1/5 — Improvement Needed

*2018-10-26*

I love sports and I find all the football games I can and try them out. I remember playing in 2015 and nothing has changed. Also the graphics are terrible and when you pass it lags and is unrealistic. If you want a good football game go play some Madden Overdrive it’s way better than madden mobile and is made by madden. Also please change some things like when I made the opponents fumble at the 1 yard line I got the ball at the 50 WHAT IS GOING ON?! This game is fun but terrible. Please improve.

### 2/5 — Rigged but overall game is okay

*2025-05-24, version 1.17*

You can’t intercept the ball, and they catch the ball Evrey play
