Play frequently but the ad right after the game is so long that I don’t wait around to play a second game. They are stopping increased time on the app and more engagement by doing that. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way. It is not the case with other game apps. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-16, version 1.10.8* The game play is awesome. I like the f2p concept of watching ads, I understand the developers made a game to get money. I’m not hating on that. The game used to make ads optional, by asking you, do you want to watch an ad to get in game resources? If you said yes, then you sit through the ad. But now, after you play a game it asks you that, but if you say no, it gives you an ad anyway. Which I then close the game to and restart it. It’s annoying, when you have limited time and want to get as many games in as possible ### 3/5 — Fun game, horrible ads *2026-07-13, version 1.10.8* This is a fun simple hockey game with intuitive controls and good progression. However the game has way too many of the obtrusive, long ads that make you X out of them like 3 separate times, you know the type. I have no problem with ad driven games, but this has way too many, way too long, ads. ### 3/5 — Bad control *2026-07-10, version 1.10.8* Every time I move the stick around I end up swiping on the Home Screen and the game closes other then that it’s a good game ### 4/5 — Good game, to many ads! *2026-07-06, version 1.10.8* This is by FAR, the single best hockey game in the App Store, BUT there are way too many ads. The game play would be a lot more fun if I didn’t need to close my game every time I finish game just to skip an ad ### 4/5 — Great but has ads *2026-06-30, version 1.10.8* It has ads but only after most games ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-13, version 1.10.8* Good game but why so many ads ### 4/5 — Very good but is missing something… *2026-06-08, version 1.10.8* I love everything about this game but the mechanics are a little strange and if you can try to add real teams in real life ### 4/5 — Good game but some mechanics are missing *2026-06-01, version 1.10.8* I think it’s a good game overall for quick and simple fun, but it would benefit from having more realistic mechanics, like offsides, goalie interference, penalties for hitting from behind, the possibility to remove your goalie if you’re trailing by one goal in the least seconds of the 3rd period, etc. ### 4/5 — Future updates *2026-05-30, version 1.10.8* Love the game but adding a PvP and or a full season NHL style with bracket style play off with series ### 1/5 — balance/matchmaking *2026-05-25, version 1.10.8* maybe if they read the reviews and learned to not face me against team ls with overalls that are 20+ higher than my roster ### 1/5 — Подкрутка *2026-05-21* Ботам я уже по пустым бросаю, гола нету. А также с прострелов 100% А как они с 500 км бросают, они забивают ### 3/5 — Really fun, ruined by ads *2026-05-21, version 1.10.8* Very fun game, but it’s not the fact that there are ads or even too many.. it’s that they trap you in the ad and don’t let you close it, theres no countdown to ad ends, one I walkes away and came back 5 min later, the ad was still going and no way to exit! Just put a visible timer with a clear close button after and ads wouldn’t be an issue at all ### 1/5 — Balanced Game ❌ *2026-05-19, version 1.10.8* The balance with the AI in this game is horrible. You win 5 games in a row then the skill level becomes completely different in the same arena and is physically impossible to win again without losing 2 games. Also the AI becomes much more aggressive with the hitting and offensive skills it’s so horrid on the balance terrible overall. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cheating *2026-08-07, version 1.10.8* The game is fun, but the developers will slow down your players and make them far less accurate inorder to make you lose ### 1/5 — Tilted *2026-07-31, version 1.10.8* The AI in this game is so off. You can out match a team by double the points and the AI just dominates. It also is unrealistic as the goalie never actually stops the puck. It just bounces off him. When there are four shots and four goals, something isn’t right. The game has the foundation but just misses in terms of providing a true hockey experience. ### 1/5 — It’s ok….. *2026-07-08, version 1.10.8* This game isn’t what it seems. I am from the future and I have seen what this game does to people. I suggest that if you value what you love you uninstall this app and forget it even existed. I don’t want to get into detail but in 2035 ai takes over the world starting in the iPhone. Games like this are used to take over peoples brains and slowly collect data to form intellectual beings in order to imperialize the globe. I’m am warning you now and I suggest you listen because this is the last you will hear of me ### 1/5 — The app is terrible *2026-07-03, version 1.10.8* Should be a fun game, but the app is horribly constructed. Endless loop of finding an ad that prevents you from playing. The gameplay also leaves a lot to be desired. Pick often is not passed to the player I want it to ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-06-25, version 1.10.8* It’s a good game in general but the controls need working on. If you body check you immediately lose control of that player so can’t get the puck efficiently. It’s also really hard to swap players on defense, you can’t cross crease easily because it thinks you’re trying to shoot, and the ADS I understand you gotta make money because it’s a free game but there are adds every single game ### 1/5 — Rigged! *2026-06-21, version 1.10.8* What a BS game! You are constantly 1-2 against 5 on offense, yet the AI somehow still gets tons of 3 on 0 rushes. They check you they get the puck. You check them umpteen times, guess what they still keep the puck! And then your players skates away giving them an open lane. Indeed, your players stand there without moving or skate AWAY from the puck to give the AI a goal or simply just disappear. Clearly nothing more than a money grab with no resemblance to how hockey is actually played. APP DELETED!!! ### 1/5 — Trash match making *2026-06-19, version 1.10.8* Im getting into matches with full like 50 overall better then me, so tradh ### 1/5 — Rigged! *2026-06-05, version 1.10.8* What a BS game! You are constantly 1-2 against 5 on offense, yet the AI somehow still gets tons of 3 on 0 rushes. They check you they get the puck. You check them umpteen times, guess what they still keep the puck!

Endless loop of finding an ad that prevents you from playing. The gameplay also leaves a lot to be desired ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2026-05-27, version 1.10.8* Terrible game, makes u switch players over and over even when u want a player ahead it wont give it to you, dont play this dumb game total waste of time. Game has to many ads and gives you an ad after every game total waste of time. Creators of this game are dumb af wouldn’t recommend ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very very very goooooood *2026-08-26, version 1.10.8* Very good you should play it super awesome I recommend it ### 5/5 — I like hockey *2026-07-04, version 1.10.8* ZtyikyufkhtchkgchmhVgmhcjhbj,go!hv N,hmnmm Kb,ghvnm.
