### 1/5 — Unable to get into account

*2026-07-22, version 2.10.5*

I’ve contacted support 3 times to no avail. I really enjoy this game but I’m unable to access my account! I have lost all my progress and players, my game is also glitching so I can’t play a single game or edit my team, I’m only able to get into the game through connecting to Google in app. Once I refresh the app I’m unable to get back in without deleting it and going through the process all over again. Please help

### 2/5 — Facebook Login Outdated

*2026-07-08, version 2.10.5*

Game is so fun but after returning to this game I find that the Facebook login is outdated so I can’t access my years of progress anymore, please fix this.

### 5/5 — Update Please

*2026-06-22, version 2.10.5*

This game was literally a part of my childhood. I am quite upset that this game hasn’t gotten an update. An update I would like to see is new players being added with new abilities (maybe a new rarity), a new storyline, rework to tournament (mainly to make it shorter), and new cutscenes / fix the old ones since they are buggy. Please hear us developer!

### 2/5 — Unresponsive asf

*2026-06-08, version 2.10.5*

The power plays (yknow, half the fkn gameplay?) are unresponsive af. You swipe to pass, shoot, steal, and the game doesn’t register your inputs. Wouldn’t be that bad if the game didn’t make it so when you “mess up” the other team gets a huge boost, but when you succeed the boost is minimal. So you can pick all the correct 1on1 matchups, but it won’t matter because the the 2 failed powerplays pretty much garuntee a loss against any component team. I redownloaded this game after a long time of not playing, and now I remember why I quit

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-05-15*

Ok

### 1/5 — Пожалуйста доработайте игру

*2026-05-13*

Играл до этого, все очень нравилось. Решил поиграть снова и тут куча проблем: 
1) игра переодически зависает и приходиться перезаходить 
2) когда перезаходишь аккаунт откатывается назад на час игры +- (очень обидно) 
3) без ВПН не заходит в Турниры (совсем) 
4) временами ну очень долгий заход в игру

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-04, version 2.10.5*

I love this game it’s just so addictive and it’s so cool with the never ending card options

### 4/5 — Fun but needs more updates

*2026-04-22, version 2.10.5*

I’ve had the game since early years in high school and I’ve been on and off the game throughout the years. The campaign mode needs to offer more ways to win better player cards to compete with the best.

### 5/5 — Огромный минус

*2026-04-16*

Верните Донат в Россию!

### 1/5 — Ррр

*2026-04-15*

Сначала все работало хорошо, в аккаунт Гугл не всходило, раньше играл, через день получилось войти через впн, потом игра просто перестала запускаться
