### 3/5 — It not fair

*2018-12-16, version 1.0.67*

When the opponent slide tackles into you they don’t get a card but if you do you get a red and the goalkeeper never saves anything

### 3/5 — Please let the possibility to rename the players!!

*2018-09-29, version 1.0.67*

Please let the possibility to rename the players!! I would give five stars for sure then

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2018-06-13*

Decent game, Graphics let it down because it’s not really realistic football ⚽️ just because of the graphics. Instead of pressing shoot button on most games good idea to swipe, But..It ruins it when you swipe fast and it goes over and hard to aim as other people might suffer from that. Overall not better than the original.

### 3/5 — Fix the glitches

*2018-06-09, version 1.0.65*

I'll be on the last game of the season and the match will end and then the game crashes!!!

### 1/5 — This game is terrible

*2018-05-27, version 1.0.62*

Ok so I started playing my first game of the season and the passes were passed to space when I tapped on the player and I try to pass to an open player and then my player just stands there and gets the ball taken away

### 1/5 — Cant play

*2018-04-13, version 1.0.62*

Force closes every time i try to open it

### 4/5 — Player speed is too slow but I still love it!

*2018-03-08, version 1.0.62*

In my opinion and I'm sure many others is that the ball moves too fast for the players speed as they can never catch up with it

### 2/5 — Aggravating

*2018-01-09*

U cannot score unless u get a lucky goal, if u shoot anywhere that’s not right at the keep then it’s well wide. U can’t complete passes until u get good players, which is really hard to have the patience for. Even if u dominate the game they can still get one lucky shot and score. Only good thing is the keeper on ur team is actually decent

### 4/5 — Fun, but missing a basic

*2017-12-24*

I'm playing my fifth season, it's one fun game BUT it lacks something that is just a basic: you can't sell your players? Really? 

You need to buy new players, but you have to do so without being able to sell your current players, so the roster gets ridiculously overcrowded. Hope you guys improve this soon, it's ridiculous that the game misses it. (It would also be nice to be able to sign as a manager with a new team)

### 2/5 — Garbage

*2017-11-05*

I came into this game with optimism given how much I love these types of games. Sadly I was let down as this game has a control scheme that's impossible to use on a phone. The game is basically unplayable unless you have a tablet. P.S. it also irks me the ridiculous saves made by 30 Ovr goalkeepers on opposing teams. Edit: Give it 2 Stars now because I realized that you can compete if you don't pass or dribble at all. I finally won some games just by shooting every time one of my guys touches the ball. Still a broken game though.

### 3/5 — Great idea with mediocre implementation

*2017-11-04*

The idea behind the game is great, both in the gameplay mechanic of tapping and swiping to pass and shoot. The issues are two fold:
1. The AI is subpar. Too often I’ve given up a goal because defenders are in poor position and simply end up running behind the opponent for 30 yards rather than moving in a realistic way to close them down. No real defender runs at an opponent in a straight line.
2. The tapping is not always responsive enough. Not sure if it’s the size of the players but too many times I’ve tried passing the ball and the player in possession just doesn’t respond. And the registering of the “hold” to play a through ball is hit-or-miss.

I enjoyed my time with the game, but these issues are getting unbearable and I’m only half a season in. If they could fix them it would be great

### 4/5 — Great game but the marking system needs work LET US CONTROL THE DEFENDER!

*2017-10-02*

I absolutely love the general play and mechanics of the game but the way marking works is so infuriating, it really needs an overhaul. For example when a ball is played into space my defender should run to the ball or between the ball and the goal, not just follow the attacker. Also on set pieces my teams marking is  worse than Liverpools because acres of space is allowed for a striker standing still. All of this could be improved by being able to tap to change or initiate our defenders' runs

### 1/5 — asscheeks

*2026-02-20, version 1.0.67*

this game is total aids.

### 1/5 — This game is poo

*2024-12-04, version 1.0.67*

I try to dribble but it won’t let me. Shooting is the worse

### 1/5 — Off sides

*2023-02-14, version 1.0.67*

Thé off sides are way off in this game it has cost me many points

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2023-01-27, version 1.0.67*

You can’t even control the ball and can’t run fast

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-01-08, version 1.0.67*

Really poor as there is no option to change the difficulty so i am stuck losing every game of the season by 3,4 nil. And you could have a better team than the opposition but every on of their players are sooooo much faster.

### 1/5 — Just wow.

*2021-02-20, version 1.0.67*

Oh there is so many things off with this game.

The shooting is terrible. I curl it bottom corner, and it goes wide. I could put it in the middle, and it could go to the corner flag.
The tackling is flawed to hell. I try and tackle him, but he skips straight past Aguero style and puts it in. But if you are in atleast 10 yards distance between the opponent, it's a guaranteed perfect tackle for the opponent.
The passing is just shambolic. I tap on the player to pass to him, and it goes 15 yards infront/behind him, and it goes for a throw-in. But everytime, it is near PERFECT passes for the AI. A cross from the opposite box to the halfway line? Absolutely perfect. F*cking prime Brazil passing.
The goalkeepers are the worst. My goalkeeper couldn't save a shot from the u9's, but their goalkeeper could be the Neuer prime and save absolutely everything.

Just to put it; this game is a waste of time.

### 1/5 — Gameplay is awful

*2021-01-08, version 1.0.67*

Why does every pass and shot go 25 metres off target? Why can you not defend ? And why is every player out of stamina after the first half. Good idea and league system but the gameplay just is awful. Dont waste your time

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2020-12-26*

Okay, I don't write a review usually for any game but I feel inclined to here. This game is so stupid, I can hardly put it into words. But the preseason is fine and fun, so it lures you in. Don't be fooled by it. The game is a good idea, but the gameplay? It's horrific. You tap on players to pass to them. Sounds ok, right? Nope. Every few passes you do is about a mile off target, but every pass they do is always right where they want it. Plus, if you try to tackle them 96% of the time they'll walk straight past you and through on goal, but if you go anywhere within 10 yards of an opponent, you instantly lose the ball. And it's not that my players are worse, because it's NOT. I have the best squad in my league and yet relegation-zone clubs can easily do the above. 
Also, these goalkeepers are so DUMB. The AI goalkeepers are godlike, they save mostly anything. But yours? They're SO TRASH.
I would rate it 0 stars if I could.

### 1/5 — this game is trash

*2018-10-12*

i want to know why the developers thought it would be a good idea to make the other team so good compared to yours. I've has this game for about an hour now and i haven’t had a single win bc my players are so slow and it’s honestly ridiculous that they are so slow. fix the speed of players and maybe it could be a decent game.

### 1/5 — One of my favorite games but....

*2018-06-09, version 1.0.65*

The new update crashes after the current season ends. I’m on my 4th season about to be promoted to the Premier League and it keeps crashing. Also there is a weird bug where the goalies are in the wrong goal, so they keep switching places in the middle of the game.

### 5/5 — Update

*2023-07-03*

I love this game. I played it many years ago and I will replay it now, but I can’t help but wonder why it’s been 5 years since it’s been updated… PLEASE update this again to include more modern players and just overall improve the game. It’s a super fun and easy to play game yet captivating to its users, please update this game, I hate to see it just die out, please developers

### 5/5 — Best soccer app in the appstore

*2020-06-21*

This game is sooo slept on. I had trouble finding it again but i’m so glad I could redownload it. Probably one of the best soccer games. The seasons are so fun and include so much customization. I wish I could have me money and my career stats.

### 5/5 — Nostalgic and Fun

*2019-08-18*

I used to play this game on my Microsoft Phone as a kid and it’s just an innocent, fun little game. I really enjoy it and it’s really well made! Recommend it!

### 5/5 — The Mightiest soccer game I’ve seen!

*2019-07-11*

Tons of content, awesome gameplay and cool controls. The only negative I have to say is you can’t sell players unless they are randomly selected at the end of a season... although it’s possible I just don’t know how to do it!

### 5/5 — One of the most underrated Football games out there!

*2019-06-15*

This is one of very few football games I keep coming back to. It’s uniqueness is something that has always made me like this game. A lot of improvements need to be made though. Other than that, one of the better football games out there.

### 5/5 — Wonderful way to pass the time

*2019-04-05*

I love this game, and the way your team builds and grows over time. Wonderful design and a lot of fun. 

I wish the manager screen worked a bit better (can’t scroll through past seasons) but that’s a small problem in a great game.

### 5/5 — Looks simple but addictive!

*2018-08-20*

Initially thought this is just another footy game...but the mechanic and the build of the game is simple and just a joy to play!  I really enjoyed it and hopefully the manager scrolling problem will be fixed soon. Overall amazing game and would recommend it to anyone who love mobile football game! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Make a career mode

*2017-12-27*

I absolutely love Tiki Taka soccer and it’s a super brilliant game with great graphics, but I’d be interested in a game like it, but working your way through the leagues with a single player... making transfers to new clubs based on how you’re playing, upgrading your attributes slowly and working your way to be the best soccer player in the world! Just a suggestion! Love the game, and I’d love to see a new version of it!

### 5/5 — Neato

*2017-09-30, version 1.0.62*

Its pretty neat

### 5/5 — Simply the best football game on iOS

*2017-06-03, version 1.0.62*

The best. The best. That is all.
