### 5/5 — One little thing

*2026-08-07*

This game is phenomenal and one of the best mobile games one my phone. I think it has potential for the football version by expanding it so that you can play in the pros. I think that it kind of feels weird to have a great Quarter back and not get to see him play pro football. Please add this, Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Love it 97/100

*2026-08-06*

I’ve been having a lot of fun with GOAT Lab. It’s surprisingly addicting, especially the baseball mode. I managed to build a 102 OVR player, which has been really rewarding. The only thing I haven’t been able to beat is Gauntlet mode. It’s definitely frustrating, but honestly that’s what keeps me coming back. If you like sports games with progression and a good challenge, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

### 5/5 — This is GOATED

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-22*

Just trash.

**Developer response:** Do you care to explain any further? Would love to hear some criticism and improve the game.

### 3/5 — New update messed up layout

*2026-08-25*

The new update is very good and a lot of the new UI looks very clean. However now the bottom menu is locked in a spot so when building a player you can’t see the bottom two stats to pick from without fidgeting the screen. Furthermore it atomically scrolls down every time you reset your build a player to do a new run so it’s way slower this way

Common bugs but definitely holding it back now

**Developer response:** 1v1 is currently down on the app, but you can play on the site goat-lab.app

### 3/5 — MMA ratings and stats need serious work

*2026-08-21*

The game is fun but the mma ratings and stats are terrible to say the least  a lot of fighters need upgrades on their stats and that’s unfortunate because it’s the one I was looking most forward to playing

**Developer response:** Hey Carlos,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll do a deep look through at the MMA ratings tonight. The next update will be much better on this front! In the meantime, if you play on the website (goat-lab.app) the MMA ratings will be better by tomorrow at some point there.

### 4/5 — My review

*2026-08-25*

Game is one of the best games on my phone but some of the ratings for CBB don’t make since to me so please try to fix

### 5/5 — So fun but…

*2026-08-24*

MMA ratings are in SHAMBLES. Paddy with 68 chin?? Derrick Lewis with low power. If you need help pls reach out we can really put together some better ratings. ALSO many careers are too short in the NFL. Can we pls not retire after a 1,500yd season as a RB. Please update career longevity to match production.
I would definitely consider buying pro if it includes some features like career longevity or the ability choose to simulate a few more seasons, nothing that messes with ratings though.

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-21*

It’s great been using it for a while the only thing I want them to add is a sandbox mode where you can change players overalls so you can really make the GOAT

**Developer response:** Definitely going to add this, thank you!

### 5/5 — Excellent sim game

*2026-08-20*

But why are RB careers 7 seasons long? Seems a bit weird tbh

**Developer response:** RBs usually do have short careers, but I agree it's a bit harsh. Will adjust. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fire Games

*2026-08-20*

I love is app it’s super fun and I never get bored any one who plays it now what’s good 🔥🔥🔥

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best Game for Sports Nerds

*2026-08-18*

Title is pretty self explanatory. GoatLab provides users with multiple game modes and leagues. There are currently 9 leagues/sports (mlb, nba, cbb, cfb, nfl, nhl, soccer, ufc, WWE, golf). The dailies keep things interesting and building streaks has been fun! Gauntlet mode is where it’s at though. It is sooo hard but that’s why it’s so addicting. The career sim option is also another great feature. Just wish it wasn’t the same prompts over and over again and I also wish that the prompts were determined based on the players progression. I’d also love to see the WNBA, boxing, and tennis added in future updates! Overall you will not find a better sports stat game on the market. Hats off to all involved in making this masterpiece!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Just one guy working on this haha. Will definitely take that feedback into consideration. Also, you can turn off the sim prompts if they are becoming too repetitive by checking the box before simulating career. Will work on improving that though.

### 5/5 — So much content for free

*2026-08-18*

SUPPORT A CREATOR LIKE THIS!!! These types of free games don’t exist anymore in 2026, brings me back to the good ole days

### 5/5 — They fixed everything

*2026-08-13*

Dude Ieft  a five star review earlier and said great game I just didn’t like how height affected rbs so much but they fixed it and going thru other reviews it looks like their things got fixed great job

**Developer response:** Always on top of things here! Thank you

### 5/5 — 9/10

*2026-08-10*

Addicting, very good. Would love the option to slow down your career mode sim for immersion sake instead of a whole career happening in 15 seconds. Maybe give a career sim speed toggle option? Also maybe make the decision making window smaller so you can actually scroll and see the career stats when the game is paused. You’re asked to make a big decision about a player’s career when you have no way to see what the current stats/status of your player.  Plz fix this.

**Developer response:** Being added soon! Thank you for the review :)

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-08-10*

Best game ever but I wish you can play with my play like play vs other teams and for franchise I wish you could play the whole game so if you could please add it that would be great

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-08*

Game is awesome
