See, you may think otherwise, “Oh, it can stop you from playing the game all day!” Well, that may be true but other than a while, it can make you stop playing for years, months, or even stop playing at all. This happens because when you lose, you lose hearts, now you can either lose half of your heart or spend the in game currency. Now, if you don’t want to waste your currency or have no currency, then you are done, you just got to get off. This is the reason why it’s annoying. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-01-09, version 2.70* I have written a review before that was two stars but I have realized my mistake and now it is one star. The AI is the worst thing about this game. The AI will wait for the ball whilst a defender is running faster than Mbappé and intercepts the ball. Speaking of defense, if a cross a ball, or I do a lofted pass, the defender will run faster than the flash and head it away. And the goalkeeper will save every shot that comes to him. The goalkeeper was on the ground and still saved my shot with some goofy fast reflexes. If I want the ball to actually go in, I have to curve it like Roberto Carlos. Then the hearts. Everything I have said before means that the hearts run out in only a few minutes, and I have to wait hours for them to refill. And you can’t even get rid of the hearts forever. You have to pay $3 just to remove the hearts for 24 hours. This game is less of a football game and more of a cash grab. The developers should be ashamed of this absolute travesty of a game they created ### 1/5 — Just a horrible money grab *2022-12-31, version 2.70* This game looks nice and seems like it is pretty fun in the beginning but after maybe an hour you realize that the whole thing is aimed at making you spend money rather than providing any real fun. The computer will steal the ball in the most insane ways, your teammates do the most brain dead choices and the keepers are all ballon d’or quality when it comes to stopping even the most score able chances all so that you will spend money on their currency just so you can keep playing. There aren’t a lot of soccer games in the app but this isn’t even a game, just the chance to play 5 minutes of mediocre game play before being forced to put it down so you can wait for your energy to reload or being forced to buy in game currency just so you can beat the infuriatingly idiotic levels. Two thumbs way way way way down. ### 2/5 — Half Good *2022-12-30, version 2.70* This game could be amazing. The idea and the gameplay mechanics are fun, but the reason this game is lacking is the forced play style. You aren’t given any room to pass, and the game forces you to make certain passes. Level 82 is the worst I’ve seen. You get 2 passes in, and if you don’t swing the ball to the far side of the field, you will be forced to pass back and forth, seemingly infinitely in the middle of the field. There are many other options that I can see, but my player refuse to give me a chance to use them. They will dribble a bit, then go to pass back to the person they just received from with absolutely no forward progress, when some definitely could be made. Not only is it super forced, but the fact that you player cannot even attempt to get the ball from an opposition player is ridiculous. I’ve had instances of my player stealing the ball back from a defender, but I still have to restart, because they want you to run through lives. Game could’ve been great, just give more freedom. ### 3/5 — Make the Game Fun to Play *2022-12-29, version 2.70* I played the game and this is what made the game not as fun to play. First up, the insane goalkeepers they literally could save almost every good shot. Secondly, I can barely kick the ball. I have the ball and sometimes I’m trying to kick it far and no power gets on the ball and the other team gets it. Finally, the hearts. Why are they their?! If I lose the ball 25 times I’m having to wait 10 minutes to only have one heart refilled. Get rid of it. It would be so much more fun to play if they weren’t there. Make it like Soccer Super Star I have more power and no hearts. I could play for as long as I want. Please fix these things. Also make it so I CAN WIN THE BALL. If the defender touches it my player stops and just walks. FIX IT. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-12-29, version 2.70* Developers please fix your game man. The graphics are good though, much better than games like FIFA Mobile and I like how you can chose the trajectory of where you want the football to go. But everything else is kinda bad. First off, it's extremely annoying to get three stars on one level, and you need stars to advance to the next season. Secondly the defenders on the opposite time are god-tier, and there is a 99% chance the goalkeeper saves the shot. And the players on your team aren't helping one bit. When I pass to them they will wait for the ball to come to them even though there is a defender going straight at the ball. Another extremely annoying thing is that the Al on your team decides to shoot the ball extremely far away from the goal. And I can't do anything about it, so I have to shoot, and the goalkeeper will obviously save the shot. Secondly, the hearts system is super annoying and should be removed from the game. Some levels you have to score three goals, so combined with everything I've said before, the hearts are depleted extremely fast, and I have to wait hours to have the hearts filled again. So anyways, the developers probably won't see this since they probably don't care, but please fix this game, since it has many issues. ### 2/5 — Just Bad *2022-12-23, version 2.70* This game has several flaws 1. What I like to call “goalkeeper teleportation”. I called it this Bcs the keeper can save an impossible shot by just teleporting. It just feels like the goalkeepers were programmed to allow the users to score a certain style of goal 2. Players waiting for the ball and not going to the ball. I can literally give a long pass to my player and he would literally jog his way to the ball while the opposing player would run and intercept it 3. The players follow the direction of the ball and would not try to anticipate it 4. The story is just too similar to the original soccer hero and it was just disappointing that they did not try to create a different story instead of us choosing between two clubs 5. PENALTIES in this game is HORRIBLE. You actually have to go in a SPECIFIC way and if you don’t the keeper would save it and it makes NO SENSE. I do not know why it is forcing me to go in one direction and if I remember correctly in the last game you could go anywhere you wanted and still had a chance to score and also the direction you take your penalty should not always be in the direction the keeper would dive. Add a bit of REALITY to this game 6. In my opinion this game should have a closing and not be an endless cycle. This point is more of a hot take The positives I have in this game is that there are different events that takes place which allows you to play for another team or country and the graphics have stepped up a notch. ### 2/5 — Improve please *2022-12-18, version 2.70* So when I saw this game I was really excited to get it, the scoreboard and all that there was seems promising, but there is the flaw that ruins everything: It’s too hard. The goalkeeper are insane and you practically have to aim it in the top corner to win. The fact that people run out of bounds for no reason, topped with the fact that I passed it someone and there’s nobody else a distance from it, but then it makes someone else get the ball and I lose it. The fact that I have limited hearts that practically has nothing to do to play the game after you get it is bad. Plus, your team is terrible while the opponents are OP, and if the opponent gets a single touch on the ball, the level is restarted, which is disturbing when you are on a four-goal level and lose on the last goal. The game has some advantages, it looks nice, there is passable story, and the game updates based on what happens in real life, plus extra modes, restarting on the game (even though there is the flaw that you can’t do so while offline) and more. It’s OK, but can use a lot of improvements. ### 1/5 — Defenders *2022-12-17, version 2.70* How am I going to lose a piece of a heart when I pass the ball to my player, who is wide open, he dribbles (I have no control where he dribbles) and runs into a defender and loses it. Like how is that my fault??? How do I pass a through ball and this dude is running sideways instead of straight? How are you so close to the ball and let it roll out-of-bounce while literally having the opportunity to touch it a couple steps back. How are these runs even helpful? I had a player dribble side to side 3 times and didn’t even make it towards goal, then I had to shoot from almost 30 yards out with a fixed keeper and a defender in front of me? The curves are not like Roberto Carlos to try to shoot from far with a defender there in front giving no shoot or pass option. It’s more like you’re done. Like c’mon dude, make it fair. ### 1/5 — Score hero’s AI is trash *2022-11-23, version 2.70* When I started to play this game it was fun, but then towards the harder levels things got ridiculous. First of all I tapped on my player and they just gave up appearently and let the defender take it. Next when you cross it in for a header usually the defender goes in at lightning speed or something to get the ball.I have a tip before you get this game: if you are angered easily don’t get it. On the bright side of the game all the weird impossible motions make it funny. And it can be fun. It’s also cool that you can costumize your hero. I hope you take in my warning because I was just playing and I got so mad, so I decided I should put in a comment and rating so anyone I’m the future won’t have to deal with a game that only makes them angry ## Frequently asked questions about Score!
