Basically trying to force people into paying money to get ad free 👎🏻 ### 4/5 — Cool game *2026-07-13, version 2.32* I think it’s just a cool game ### 3/5 — Okay *2026-07-13, version 2.32* It’s a really good game used to play it years ago only downfall is the constant ads after each match played it gets annoying after 3 games ### 5/5 — A generational game, literally! *2026-07-10, version 2.32* My dad was the first in my family to find this game many years back, he loved it and showed my brother who then later showed me. We all still replay careers to compete and it’s still as good as it used to be. There’s not much that can get updated barring the graphics/bugs etc. But I believe it’s better that way as it stays as the true classic football game. I’ll be sure to show this to my kids someday, the same way my dad did to me. ### 2/5 — Game crashes *2026-07-10, version 2.32* Good game but it crashes and forces me to restart the game I was either mid way through or had just finished. ### 4/5 — Screen freezes at times *2026-07-09, version 2.32* The game is very good most of the time however it does have the occasional screen freeze which would be handy to get updated if possible ### 3/5 — Money *2026-07-02, version 2.32* If it wasn’t so money grabbing it would be the best ### 5/5 — A bit Dated - Oldie but Goldie *2026-07-01, version 2.32* I've played this game since 2014 (and I write this review in 2026). In my time playing, I have had my careers that have entertained and never bored. Even if sometimes the game got stale enough for me over the years, eventually I would find myself coming back to it. NSS finds a way to play a player career of football but skip most of the portions of career mode soccer that most people would find boring/tedious, keeping you to the highlights and decisive moments where it matters. Its a bit dated by today's standards, like missing the NSS version of the club world cup or the NSS version of the US Open Cup, but this game is still amazing with the leagues and systems it does know. Im not ashamed to say ive spent money over the years with the in game microtransactions, but the game is fair and is built so you wont need them if you choose to avoid them. I guess one complaint, no way of turning a "girlfriend" into a "wife" after a few years and then not needing to worry about their happyness stats lol. ### 5/5 — peak *2026-06-29, version 2.32* peak ### 4/5 — Please Listen… *2026-06-29, version 2.32* If you think I’m spending money on some coins that don’t even worth anything for my real life, then you’re crazy, maybe some YouTuber. However, I notice whenever I watch an ad for free Nrg drinks I watch two instead! Please fix it or give us two drinks! But last of all I wish there was an option to be able to dribble past instead of passing to teammates. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-21, version 2.32* Awesome overol gameplay ### 5/5 — Petition for sign in. *2026-06-19, version 2.32* Hello developers. I’ve been a lifelong fan of this game for almost a decade. Could you guys provide an option to sign in through apple? Every new phone I get I always get this game, and it doesn’t help that I have to pay for no ads and pitch weather every time I get it installed on a new phone. Thank you very much! ### 2/5 — Removal of ads *2026-06-18, version 2.32* There are too frequent number of ads so I paid to remove them. After my card was charged, I still constantly received ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game cheats too much *2026-08-26, version 2.32* It’s ridiculous how much the game cheats against the player. I literally score 4 goals and AI magically “scores” 5 goals off screen and wins and there is nothing I can do about game’s cheating except for restart the game every time it cheats against me. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-18, version 2.32* Honestly don’t know how this has 5* adverts every second ### 1/5 — Team selection! *2026-08-15, version 2.32* Absolutely ridiculous how the team selection at the start of this game works, I’ve rested 300 times, there are 48 teams to choose from and their is still 17 that haven’t come up and I’ve gotten peterboro 15 times it’s ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Oççç *2026-07-15, version 2.32* HALUK LEVENTTE BURDAN OYNUYO DİMİ ANASINI SİKTİKELM ### 1/5 — Ads, ads, ads *2026-07-10, version 2.32* Wow. I bought this game a few years back but since they introduced ads the gaming experience is horrendous. Screw you ### 1/5 — App doesn’t open *2026-07-09, version 2.32* Useless ### 1/5 — App crashing *2026-06-24, version 2.32* This is my favorite game and it keeps crashing everytime I try to play. Other than this problem, the game is 10/10 ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-06-14, version 2.32* I get you need advertising but the same add after every single match is ridiculous ### 1/5 — I want a boyfriend *2026-05-29, version 2.32* I don’t want to meet no damn attractive girl. Be inclusive. ### 1/5 — Impossible to save money *2026-05-16, version 2.32* Once you upgrade your contract everything goes up in price making it pretty much impossible to keep up. Basically makes you spend real money on the game to progress. I used to play this when i was a kid and it was not this expensive ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-09-07, version 2.32* Fantastic game very addictive and enjoyable. What would add it to be really? Really good if they could add on transfers Windows instead of moving to the same league they could maybe add global transfer so anyone can come in for you ### 5/5 — Best Soccer Career Game - One Request *2026-08-28, version 2.32* Played this game a long time ago and started again. Please allow us to pay $1 or $2 to remove ads. It’s annoying that they come up all the time ### 5/5 — Anuncios *2026-08-27, version 2.32* Lo malo q tienen muchos anuncios lo de las esta bien ### 5/5 — WHY? *2026-08-19, version 2.32* Great game with so much potential. It’s sad to see it not being developed more. New features and updates would make it even better ### 5/5 — BOK E FOOTBALL *2026-08-06, version 2.32* Pesten 100bin kat daha iyi ### 5/5 — Classic *2026-07-26, version 2.32* Been playing this game for over 10 years and it’s been great. ### 5/5 — What a phenomenal game *2026-07-25, version 2.32* I have played this game since young my dad showed me what it was and I play it every holiday / vacation I wish there was more content tho maybe release a second one with more stuff or remaster it with more content great game👍 ### 5/5 — Top tier *2026-07-19, version 2.32* Love this game. Grew up on it. Hope they bring life back into it and keep updating it though. ### 5/5 — New star ads *2026-07-18, version 2.32* Mint game plenty of years on and off like everyone but what’s with the ads???? Never had ads before and now after every game another ad like really? No option to get rid of them as well real let down from a game that was a great ### 5/5 — Great game to pass time *2026-07-10, version 2.32* Once you get the physics system down it’s pretty damn fun, the progression and star player commentary after each game really brings me in. Thanks for making one of my favorite games, hope yall would consider adding some more stuff in an update --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
