Good, Sometimes Annoying Though.

So, the reason why I am writing this review is because I think the heart system is overall annoying. 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.

Terrible

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

Just a horrible money grab

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.

Half Good

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.

Make the Game Fun to Play

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.

Bad

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.

Just Bad

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.

Improve please

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.

Defenders

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.

Score hero’s AI is trash

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

Great but needs the premier league

This game is awesome but it just need the premier league to be added to it and also put real players on there to be a good game to watch on a weekly schedule like the rest is there any good ones out here to play in a week and I can get the premier leagues and I don’t have a problem getting them it is a good thing I got to go back and watch the games and see how it plays and then I’ll be back on it I don’t have any problems I don’t want any issues with it but I’m just gonna wait for the next one I have a problem I have a little problem getting a little problem I have a lot to deal I have a big deal about it.

Your players are all plain stupid.

This game has a great concept but is completely let down by your players’ incapability to do ANYTHING. They will NEVER win 50/50s, they frequently dribble the ball into enemy players after you make a good pass, and sometimes they just decide not to run for the ball when it’s right in front of them and they’re the closest player to the ball. Another complaint I have is the goalie. Unless you hit the ball perfectly into the top right/left or off the post/crossbar, the goalie will find a way to magically glide across the field without moving his feet before diving for the ball and, of course, saving it. There are other issues with the players and with other aspects of the game as well, but I’ll leave it at that.

Most rigged/money hungry game I’ve ever downloaded

This game is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! You guys practically copy and pasted the previous score hero onto 2022’s version. This laziness by the developers should not be rewarded and instead of fixing the problems in the original game, they thought it would be a great idea to fix LITERALLY NOTHING. The goalie is broken and you need to be a near God to get a goal, players on your team have the IQ of fifth graders while the opposing team shares the same skill set as Ronaldo. When Score Hero decides they had enough of you having fun and want some of your precious ad money, they will make sure you will not make another successful pass. Your teams players will be making painfully purposeful mistakes such as kicking the ball out of bounds for no reason at all, or simply not even going for it, this also increases the goalies difficulty (as if it wasn’t hard enough). I get it, you guys have to make money, but atleast fix your game so you have an excuse to include ads. My most hated aspect, is the health system. You should have to wait an hour just to play a mobile game, especially one that’s as bad as this. In conclusion, the developers need to either fix this game, or completely delete this embarrassment off the App Store.

Just frankly disappointed

There was a part of me, I think, that so badly wanted to give this game 5 stars. Aside from a couple frustrating team errors, I thought this was a great game. Perfect for a toilet game, or offline game, it seemed as if it may be worth the holy 5 stars. Every game has it’s small errors and I was prepared to accept that until I got to the worst creation of a training level someone could possibly create. Having to pass the ball to yourself by bouncing it off a small yellow wall seemed easy enough until for some unknown and bewildering reason, they threw in defenders. Ok, so, a bounce pass with a defender not bad, but let’s add another gate. and let’s not make that the hardest part. let’s make it so your shooting a 40 yard shot. But wait, it doesn’t stop there: let’s have there be multiple levels in this training session each more unfathomably ridiculous than the last.
I’m conclusion, I was deeply saddened and disappointed that I felt the need to leave a 1 star review as well as a written explanation of why I was so disappointed by a game with so much potential. I hope the creators either fix this issue, or delete the game and reconsider their career choices.
Hope you are well.

New look but far worse story than original

I’m not going to waste your time talking about how cracked the goalkeepers are, or how defenders will fast forward to intercept the ball. I’m only here to talk about the club progression and story.

It just makes zero sense. Score Hero has licensed leagues in this edition and honestly it hinders the game. The game pushes leagues like the Belgian League and Eridivisie to the point where it makes no sense to even leave your current club. My player will go from Betis -> Osasuna -> Leverkusen -> barely winning the league cup and nothing else with Bayern -> two options of Anderlecht or AZ. Like what??

Did a new save to try and make it more realistic, and my player goes from Gladbach -> AZ -> Ajax (winning the league) and then goes to Sevilla because they’re a historic club that wants to win the title every year?? What?? Why is the choice not Madrid or Barcelona if they want to send me to Spain to win trophies?

Score Hero 2 is a shiny reskin of 1 with slightly better gameplay but a drastically worse story and club path/choice than the original. I’m not asking for the story to be amazing but it is distractingly bad and some of the commentary lines are embarrassingly low effort.

Dumb players

I rated it 5 starts just so people will see it. My real rating is 3 stars. The game is really fun, but the players are not smart at all! I once passed an easy pass to one of my teammates, but he literally ran away from the ball. I know that the game uses artificial intelligence but you really need to update the players. Also, sometimes I lose the ball when it is not even my fault! Once my player was dribbling the ball and then it said “Retry?” No one ever came near the ball but it still happened. Please fix these thing!

Pay to play

The game is very intriguing and I love the storyline and everything to it however there is a lot of problems. This game could easily be top 3 on the App Store if it wasn’t for a few things. First off, the defending is ridiculous and don’t even get me started on the goalkeeper. Secondly, sometimes the players in offense take a heavy touch or run out of play when you aren’t even controlling it. Lastly, it is very obvious that the creators only want your money and not an enjoyable experience. I get to play the game for like 10 minutes before I lose all my lives and then I get to sit and wait for another 2 hours just to play again. It’s absurd and I can’t believe a game with the potential like this one has to be ruined by money hungry creators. Ads everywhere and constantly wanting you to spend money on their app. They should’ve made the app like $2 and then never asked for a single penny ever again. This game got destroyed by the bad mechanics and the pay to simply play the game mentality.

Amazing game. Good Explanation

So I say this is a very good game cuz it is, the only thing that’s weak is the bugs that are true that the gk is too op defense is way better and players running out of bounds or into defenders or players being in offsides. This could all be fixed but it makes the game more competitive. This game is amazing for many reasons, it’s an actual soccer career ur managing. It is very fun and u want to win for ur team and ur national team. The only thing I would add is more customization and different like pick whatever number u want or like body customization on.

Fun and annoying game

I don’t care about the passes to a player on your team who then turns around and gives us straight to a defender or runs out of bounds and you lose a life, or the goalie diving from one post to the other to make an impossible save.. it’s a game it is supposed to be challenging and I enjoy that.. But the fact that some/most levels of the game have a goal of hitting the post or crossbar is so annoying.. you can make the perfect passes and shots and the ball in the animation hits a post and not get credit for it.. hitting the post is a fun goal to have once in a while.. it seems like it is every other level though and is frustrating when you want to play the game but waste your lives trying to get 3 stars. Especially when those “losses” are from completely unrealistic reactions by the computer

Weird game lol

This game was really fun in the lower levels, but once you get past level 90 it’s more of a puzzle game. Instead of smart and accurate passing it turns into a game of which defender won’t go beast mode and clip through my teammate. Plus you can’t really control how the player you pass to shoots or passes leading into some awkward situations where the player has the ball turns to shoot/pass at an awkward time leading you to lose possession. Other than that I wish the customization was less of a grind and instead of winning customization pieces you could purchase them with the in game cash. Other than that the game can get really addicting sometimes. Once you find that right combo of passes will always feel amazing
