Bug in Playoffs Prevents Finishing Season

In the last game of the championship, the user switches teams with the computer. If you save at any point following this, your data is corrupted and you can’t open the coach again.

Incompatible with iPhone

I was looking forward to playing this on my phone, but unfortunately, it doesn’t translate at all. Shooting is pretty much impossible and the gameplay just doesn’t hold up. It’s free for a reason.
