Solid Basics

I really enjoy the idea of this game, football rougelike is a solid idea!
The routes are a bit finicky and sometimes just don’t work, but that’s fine. The ai also sometimes doesn’t react, I’ve noticed doing swing routes with the rb has been the most overpowered thing so far.
I do wish I could play defense and draw up the schemes, similar to offense.
I also wish the upgrades were more specific player based and help with making a build.
The formations are super cool, need more.
I also think it’d be cool if it be more like a run for the Super Bowl rather than an arcade esk game, or maybe having a mode for that.
But i do like the simplicity and easy controls!
I’ve already recommended this game, hope the review helps out and hope to see more!

Response from developer

Hey there, thank you very much for playing and writing this review! Excellent feedback, I'll need to address the RB swing route to make it less OP! I'll take a look at the AI not reacting, that smells like a bug. I was evaluating other upgrades and difficulty cards to make that system feel more impactful, I'm not 100% satisfied where that's at today, and your feedback solidifies that. I truly appreciate you recommending the game, it means a lot!! Thank you!

It’s good but…

My receivers will abandon the route after the drawing ends. Also the receivers will sometimes not run the routes at all and my double slant with a stick concept on the back side becomes four verts.

Response from developer

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! I've just released an update to address both of these issues for you. The "four verts" was intended to be a feature where if a defender stumbles at the snap, the receiver will send up an alert and just go deep; but you're right, in reality this makes the routes feel broken and isn't fun. I've patched that out, so now you'll just see the alert but your receiver stays on their route. On the point about receivers abandoning their route after the drawing ends, that was actually a bug! Thanks for reporting that one, it's been fixed so now the receivers will sit at the end of a route, enabling you to do screens, curls, checkdown routes etc.. Thank you so much for playing and taking the time to write the review, I hope these changes make the game more fun!

Very dope game highly recommend

So much fun
