With that being said, the biggest problem I have with the game simulation is how the clock operates, because it's pretty much broken. In the first couple games I spectated, there were numerous times where the clock kept running when it shouldn’t be, such as after players run out of bounds late in the game, after a touchdown/field goal is scored, and even after timeouts are used. Hell, the first game ended with the other team running out the clock BEFORE A KICKOFF. In other games I spectated, the opposite problem happened; the clock stopped after every play regardless of whether or not timeouts were used or if the player was downed inbounds. If you fix the clock so that it works consistently and properly, I’ll raise my rating to 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Pretty good game, but one glaring flaw needs to be fixed. *2026-01-31* I really like the general manager aspects, as well as the fact that you can spectate the game while your AI coach and coordinators manage the game for you.

If you fix the clock so that it works consistently and properly, I’ll raise my rating to 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Unable to finish a complete game *2026-01-13, version 2023.3.6* I really like this game but I have been unable to complete an entire game with this app. I thought it was my iPad’s storage so I rest my iPad to factory settings, re-downloaded the app and it still didn’t work properly. I have 16+ GB of space on a 32GB iPad. After a few commercials, the game either closes on its own, or freezes. I have to close the game and when it’s reopened the game starts over. ### 3/5 — Good game but *2026-01-01, version 2023.3.6* Love the game but why is there so many ads after every play that take forever? I JUST WANT TO DO A GAME THAT I ACTUALLY LIKE! IM ABOUT TO DELETE THE GAME! PLEASE FIX THAT IN A UPDATE ### 3/5 — Do this please *2025-12-30, version 2023.3.6* First of all there should be a career mode like why do you have to play as a team and you can get traded and stuff like you start in college and work your way up to pro and you get drafted ### 4/5 — Mechanics *2025-12-13, version 2023.3.6* I love the game and all but I have one thing about the game mechanics for defense whenever I want a pick I have to position my db or lb to get a pick and I put them right In front of the ball but they don’t pick it. Is there anyway yall can put a button to click or something so I can physically make it intercepted good game overall tho. ### 4/5 — Great game but… *2025-12-03, version 2023.3.6* I love axis football. If you’re looking for a free way to manage your team and play knock off Madden on mobile this is the game. But it does have a couple flaws. 1. Why do you make the game 50 minutes long to play a single game. THERE IS 16 GAMES IN A SEASON 16x50=800 minutes 800 MINUTES! 2. Please decrease the salary cap. If you want to win the championship don’t sign anyone from the draft and go to personal and sing the good players and just sim. ### 3/5 — Please Fix *2025-12-02, version 2023.3.6* It is a decent game overall. It is awesome to have all the customization options especially the color templates for college teams built in. HOWEVER playing defense is horrible. There is no way to try and intercept or block a pass so you are powerless against a pass. Every pass on offense and defense is a 50/50 ball. It is also brutal how you have to stop moving to switch players. It takes an incredible amount of power from my phone to run and the games should be shorter and have a 2 minute option. Overall it is a good starting point but if the gameplay continues to be sub par it will be a bummer to have this as the only college football option. ### 4/5 — Axis football review *2025-11-27, version 2023.3.6* It’s alright if you want a chill football game but it’s not realistic I prefer madden mobile but if you can’t get that get this ### 4/5 — Updates *2025-11-21, version 2023.3.6* Please make a new version of this game and improve the defensive controls and this gets 5 stars please make a 2026 game!!! ### 2/5 — Mid *2025-10-31, version 2023.3.6* This game was lowkey fire! Like, top tier, until the ads. There was ads like every 2 plays, it was so annoying. So this would’ve been the best game I’ve ever played, if there was no ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good *2026-06-07, version 2023.3.6* Good good good morning to everyone ### 1/5 — ALMOST….. *2025-12-24, version 2023.3.6* The gameplay is awful. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but please, please, please, please refine this. I cannot win without playing, and the gameplay is so bad I don’t want to. Please fix that. Also, too many adds. WAY to many adds. And trades don’t work. Needs serious fixing. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2025-12-15, version 2023.3.6* So when I made my own team I got on the team playlist and it would not let me off terrible ### 1/5 — Bad game *2025-12-12, version 2023.3.6* Worst game ever the controls are terrible and it is an unplayable game. Please fix it ### 1/5 — Never play. This *2025-11-21, version 2023.3.6* Really hard to pass ### 1/5 — Dumb *2025-11-20, version 2023.3.6* I’m sick of this game because I throw interceptions when it’s not even supposed to happen. The CPU catches everything and my team drops all of the easy passes. 🤬I WISH I COULD RATE THIS GAME 0 STARS! 🏈⭐️. ### 1/5 — Really bad *2025-10-19, version 2023.3.6* If it’s fourth quarter and I’m in the lead, the AI will do anything to win interceptions 90 yard touchdowns random fumbles there was a second left. I was just about to get another touchdown as I was in the lead. I fumble it and they ran a 90 yard touchdown after they broke like four tackles. ### 1/5 — Request controller support *2025-09-26, version 2023.3.6* Would be a great game if it supported the jawbone or any other type of controller. Franchise mode and customization are the only reason it can currently get a star ### 1/5 — STUPID, DUMB, IDIOTIC, GAME *2025-07-24, version 2023.3.6* You throw picks when they aren’t supposed to happen plus their is a trash playbook 🚮 .and franchise is junk why would you need 53 players to start the next season ? Bro that’s to much.You need at least 23 players. You should force teams to win instead of finding out who wins like you could make teams undefeated like 16-0 and add real NFL teams. And the game is unplayable because players drop easy passes because players don’t have hands and made up team’s.Madden NFL 25 is way better than this stupid, dumb, idiotic game. Unbelievable ! Take this game off of the AppStore. I will delete this game immediately unless you make this game better . Axis Bowl sounds stupid for a league championship. It sounds like a random college bowl game please make it be called Super Bowl. and also remove impossible catches. and also sometimes players drop the ball for no reason . Please removing impossible drops. I didn’t mean to talk junk about it but whoever thinks this game is cool, they can download it. ### 1/5 — TRASH *2025-06-04, version 2023.3.6* ITS DOG WATER ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GRAPHICS *2026-08-01, version 2023.3.6* AHHHHH JUST MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC THEN YOUR IN MY GAME FOLDER ### 5/5 — Axis football 2026 mobile 🏈 *2026-03-23, version 2023.3.6* Woo I guess I can wait axis football 2026 mobile update version 😅 ### 5/5 — Great game new updates pls *2026-03-16, version 2023.3.6* Could u update this mobile game a little like a career mode and something that all you to make your own fully customized league and championship games and trophies? Other then that best game ever ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-02-14, version 2023.3.6* This game is better than classic axis football. But the tackle glitch is where no one can tackle you.
