Great start! Needs work.

Writing this as a bit of a counter to the other written review + to give my own thoughts.

First off, the other review just didn’t get how to play. At launch, you had to make your own plays BEFORE starting. This confused me too but just basic tinkering in the menus solved it. I think people should tinker for maybe 5 seconds before leaving a review.

The game has a great passing system. I enjoy how it controls, and the accuracy needed. It’s genuinely fun to scramble and make good passes. The potential is there.

It DOES just need more time to cook, and it’s always received solid updates. We need more animations, more sensical defense and just more of… well everything. This is a very barebones start, but I’ve already played a few seasons and have had a fun time. I look forward to how the game progresses, and it could be GREAT. it could also just be abandoned at any moment, but i have faith in the dev and haven’t paid for anything so my experience as a free to play player has been solid.

Very confused

The game doesn’t appear to even work on iOS, you can’t pass the ball basically, it just throws 40 yards every single time. Game looks like it could be fun however if it actually worked. Would recommend pulling it down until it’s functional
