In career mode I’ve ran into a glitch I can’t sign any new players which completely defeats the purpose of playing career mode. ### 2/5 — Bad *2026-08-26, version 26.12* The screen goes black when I make a mistake like it’s punching me ### 3/5 — Old version is better than new one *2026-08-22, version 26.12* Footy Mayhem is a game that I have seen improve for a while. The mechanics and camera angle has massively gone up but still poorly controlled. The old version was also way better (last update). You didn’t have to pay to continue Career mode and the modes had WAY more freedom with gameplay. Please bring back the last version ### 3/5 — Its fire but impossible *2026-08-20* Bro I swear the timings in this game are genuinely impossible, it’s a very addictive and awesome game and not really any bugs that I’ve seen. But please add difficulty changes or something bro it’s fricking impossible to compete against Usain Bolt. The timings for the ruck and for goal shooting need to be nerfed, way too hard, maybe give the player multiple attempts? Anyway overall I love the game, 100% worth paying for, You have done a great job on it, just really hard. But fantastic job for a single developer. ### 4/5 — Needs fixing *2026-08-16, version 26.12* When ever I get a free kick or give it away from kicking it out or punching it out not in the arks it goes black screen for 20 seconds then I can’t play and they have a set shot in the goal square for some reason ( that’s after it stops black screening ) ### 2/5 — Switch player *2026-08-14, version 26.12* Really hard to play because it switches players randomly ### 4/5 — Um ok *2026-08-12, version 26.11* This game ragebaits u so much ### 4/5 — Stadiums need improvements *2026-07-27, version 26.11* Would like to be able to play at stadiums like the MCG and SCG ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-26, version 26.11* Terrible because it it so hard to use the app and the games are rigged by ai so you only win 1 out of every 3 games defidently wouldn’t recommend ### 3/5 — GREAT GAME *2026-07-26, version 26.11* I love AFL but the game ratings could be by fantasy points also every time there is bugs SO PLEASE update great game though also there should be a draft and u should be able to trade players and when I try to get someone it keeps coming up with DAICOS DAICOS DAICOS and would not let me put an offer in so update that as well because I don’t want to regret buying it GO TASSIE ### 1/5 — Worst Game ever *2026-07-26, version 26.11* This game has so many bugs it’s confusing no tutorial no nothing straight into Carter mode you get no say in this game and whatever you do won’t work, Would Not Recommend please don’t ever download this game ### 3/5 — I like this game, although haven’t tried it full! *2026-07-25, version 26.11* I like this game, although writing this as I have yet to play the game, but looks cool. From a small developer making it. I’d love if a game like this was made but a Rugby League version, for like the NRL. I know since this is a small solo developer that made this game. But I’d love to play this game but a NRL version for league fans. Thank you for listening! ### 4/5 — No pay to play *2026-07-24, version 26.11* I absolutely loved this game I would play this game all day everyday it’s just that it cost 3.99 to get full career. ### 1/5 — Too much money *2026-07-18, version 26.10* I cant I cant believe you would have to pay to actually play the game I would love to change that ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lack of work *2026-08-28, version 26.12* Was paying for abit 2 months ago, was Great not much problems an overall decent game but now it’s just gotten way worse. Don’t know what happened but everything is just bad. The camera angles need serious working it’s genuinely horrific, the sprinting, the kicking, the marking it’s all bad. Please fix the game ### 1/5 — This game SUCKS *2026-08-22, version 26.12* These controls are the fricking worst ### 1/5 — Terrible. *2026-08-12, version 26.11* This game isn’t realistic at all.Every 2 seconds as my player runs to get the ball they lose their stamina.And i have to get a subscription to enjoy a game. ### 1/5 — Goals *2026-08-12, version 26.11* U can kick a goal to save ur life it’s to hard ### 1/5 — Pure hot pile of trash *2026-08-12, version 26.11* Too robotic and hard too learn, tutorial doesn’t help. Overall REALLY bad game ### 1/5 — G *2026-08-10, version 26.11* The game’s ridiculous have to pay to play career just let us play it normally like what ### 1/5 — so many things to improve *2026-08-05* why is it that the bots players have infinite stamina but my players dont regenerate any until a goal is scored. Also When i go grab the ball why do i fumble it when its laying on the ground and if i kick the ball please when i press the switch button can it let it switch to the guy closest to the ball why do i have to spam the switch button multiple times just to get the player i want and end up losing the mark. And when im near goal it should be a almost full green bar mate why is it the same difficulty kicking it from far then kicking it close. ### 1/5 — Worst game *2026-08-02, version 26.11* Worst game ever can’t even get close to winning. Graphics are bad. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Gameplay could use work *2026-08-01, version 26.11* No good how the camera angle changes right when near goal and can’t use the use direction keys ### 1/5 — Worse game *2026-08-01, version 26.11* Absolutely terrible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game. But could be even better *2026-08-21, version 26.12* Very fun and good but still could have some extra fixes still a great game ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-16, version 26.12* Can you plz make it so nick watson/the wizard is not a defender and a attacker like in real life and why is Gunston so bad in game plz respond to me and also make game free ### 5/5 — Game is great but i would love to know when the next update is *2026-08-13, version 26.11* please make a discord server or social media site where we can expect the next update ### 5/5 — SOOOOOO FUNNNNN IM ADDICTED *2026-08-02, version 26.11* Perfect, the real players are in the game no ads, and it is so fun cartoony and perfect for all ages at a free price!!! You can’t get any better than that that is basically like free version of AFL 26 ### 5/5 — Players *2026-07-25, version 26.11* I can see there’s been so much work into the game over last few months keep it up but for me none of my players load in at all just one team but other than that looks good ### 5/5 — Please don’t give up on this game *2026-07-15* I’m unsure if I’m gonna buy the thing, not because I don’t like the game, I find it incredibly fun and it has so much room to grow, I am just afraid your going to leave it and never come back. Also a few additions and fixes I personally think would make the game even better - a week system In career, this would be nice because when you set your team to training, it’s a bit confusing when they are going to get trained. This would help because you would also get to change things around throughout the week with your training, adding a level of depth with your characters. - pretty much coming off my last point I feel like a system where you can work on your characters, like training is great but maybe more depth? Pretty much right off my last point - when I go to switch players it is very inconsistent and annoying That’s all great game please don’t give up **Developer response:** Hi, I am not going to give up on the game - don't worry. I like your idea about adding more depth to the training and develepoment of the players and I do have it on my list to review training very soon. Theres an update coming in the next couple of days that polishes tackles and AI kicking targets. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-11, version 26.09* The most perfect game as a AFL supporter except I’m pretty bad 🤣🤣🤣 ### 5/5 — Why do we have to pay *2026-07-10, version 26.09* Why do we have to pay to play the rest of the season ### 5/5 — Suggestions and praises *2026-07-03, version 26.08* I suggest you add swapping sides, walk back on mark, and other possibilities. But I have played this game since it first started, since all the glitches and lags, and when they did t even have the afl names but overall I love this game! ### 5/5 — The creator has done a lot of work *2026-07-02, version 26.08* The game is very fun and the creator has done a lot of work to make it perfect 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
