Of course it has loot crates but upon earning a crate via winning a game, it enters a queue (max 4 crates) and then there’s a countdown timer before they’re openable (4hrs for silver 8 for gold). You can bypass this by spending one type of in game currency but obviously this is obviously a push to get you to spend actual cash. Fair enough, but this is pretty egregious. Not to mention that the crates almost never produce any of the player cards you need to upgrade your team after you reach a mid-tier level. Top-tier player cards require a combination of cash and grinding and the game devolves into a slog where you can’t even just fire up a game and enjoy without constantly feeding it. Free to play games all need these strategies to stay alive and I’m willing to drop a few bucks here and there, but Rivals is pretty terrible in how incredibly unlikely you’ll get a decent star player and how it’s impossible to enjoy if you don’t want to constantly feed the slot machine. I fear that this game will eventually have a huge player exodus if they don’t ease up on the cash grab aspects. ### 3/5 — Fun, but has a bug *2025-12-19, version 3.3.0* This game is super fun!

This is the best game ever if you want a football game this is the one. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2025-12-12, version 3.3.0* Are you ever bore from just playing retro bowl just doesn’t give enough detail this game has your back. This is one of the best football games. I think I’ve played in my life. It’s super detailed really realistic and you could get new players so stop playing old boring retro bowl and come play this 10/10 ### 5/5 — Tuff *2025-12-12, version 3.3.0* Dih ### 5/5 — It so good *2025-12-12, version 3.3.0* It so good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Football rivals *2025-12-19, version 3.3.0* This is a amazing game but pls add the griddy and more famous celebrations ### 1/5 — Decent *2025-12-10, version 3.3.0* The only reason that I put a one star review is Because I had so much progress on one account that I forgot about and then I remembered it. I logged into it then it completely trashed all the progress. I don’t know why did it that. Otherwise fun to play, but I’m not getting over that that. ### 1/5 — Restarted *2025-12-06, version 3.3.0* I was stuck when the crafting tutorial started popping up and couldn’t click on anything. Try restarting the app and everything so I deleted and redownloaded the app to see if that works. Well it deleted all my progress so now I have to start over. Sucks game was fun though but I don’t want to start over as my team was getting good ### 1/5 — My review *2025-12-05, version 3.3.0* Awesome to hate on ### 1/5 — Bad idea *2025-12-05, version 3.3.0* Add back campaign mode Please ### 1/5 — Worst game in the world *2025-12-03, version 3.3.0* Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad ### 1/5 — Constant card & myth devaluation *2025-12-03, version 3.3.0* This game takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money to be even remotely competitive. The moderators on discord are very unprofessional as well. I stopped counting at $2000, realistically I’ve spent $4-5k on this game hoping for it to be an investment like CSGO skins and I’m left with a couple hundred dollars of value even after consistently playing and winning. That doesn’t sit right with me, but it was my fault for hoping for this to get more popular and become an investment hahah L ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-28, version 3.3.0* This game is unfair because all the bits get good players and the other players get packs so they get stronger and then when I go play I’m the brains but they just have packs like really and we can’t play as defense so if I could O would give this game 0 and I mean 0 stars don’t buy it it is a waste of time ### 1/5 — Goood *2025-11-27, version 3.3.0* It’s a good game. I just wish you could have defense. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-11-26, version 3.3.0* Game would be better but there are too many bugs, for example when you go to crafting the tap to continue tap stays open until you close the app and restart. Needs more attention to detail in the tabs to make it easier to touch the collect button, game has too many clicks to get to places. Poorly developed, developers need to go back to the scrubland and focus their priorities ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Epic *2025-12-21, version 3.3.0* Wow you guys made this TO GOOD I’m almost in 1st place my along name is skeleybrosclub keep the work going ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-21, version 3.3.0* 5 star ### 5/5 — SUPER FUN *2025-12-20, version 3.3.0* During road-trips this game will keep any nfl awake.
