### 5/5 — M

*2023-03-06, version 7.50*

Very fun and simple. Nice job 👍🏻

### 3/5 — LONG TIME USER - Honest review

*2022-03-05, version 7.50*

I'm a veteran to the game of over 5 years. 

Bottom line - the game is HEAVILY geared to make you spend money. If you want to build a town to max, it will literally take you years and years to accomplish. You have to spend money to make reasonable progress. 

Here's the kick in the balls of it all. Let's say you spend your hard earned money, which you have to to compete in guilds, etc. If you know the settings well, you can easily beat teams 5 or even 10 levels higher. It's just a scam to get you excited about the game. Truth is, if you go through all the hard work to reach the top 2 levels, the AI changes. Suddenly, teams that were higher level and you beat on a regular basis. Now they beat you. It literally happens the moment you're at the same level. It's all just to get you to buy players, hoping it will resolve the issue. 
The AI is garbage to begin with. Currently, the QB does some ridiculous 40-50 yard backwards pass, catches the ball himself, and you lose huge chucks of yards. What is that all about? I've seen these glitches many times over the years. You can't run the ball at higher levels. Forget it. You have to pass or you'll surely lose every game. 
It's a very fun game, don't get me wrong. That's why I played it and you can meet other people. As you get more competitive though, it'll all bite you in the butt. 
I gave it 3 stars for being fun. 
Would I do it all over again? 
No. I wasted time and money to reach the top, literally the top, and the game screws you over backwards and forwards. I'd pass and play a different game.

### 4/5 — Great Game, one minor complaint though

*2021-10-17*

Amazing game, love the offensive side of the game, however, I do feel that defenses are too easy to beat, a primary component of this is that you can’t tell your defenses what to do but instead, they just do something random, the ability to tell defenses who or where to cover would be a great improvement to the games immersion

### 5/5 — Very good Game

*2021-05-31*

It’s a very good game.
I do have a suggestion for a new game would you make a baseball game in this format style please and thank you.

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2021-03-27, version 7.41*

### 5/5 — The game is addictive!

*2021-03-05*

I’ve been playing for a couple of years. Many changes, some good and some bad. The game continues to evolve and I’m confident that the game issues will be resolved.

### 2/5 — The game is dying a slow death

*2020-06-05*

I’ve been playing for a couple of years and I love the game. The problem is that my compadres are quitting because of how expensive the game has gotten in order to be competitive. In addition, we’re not seeing the new players stick around long because they start out at such high levels that it’s impossible to be competitive unless (again) you spend hundreds of dollars. You see where this is going...

### 3/5 — Needs more attention

*2020-04-24*

This game could be really good if the developers have it more attention. It gets like 2 updates a year. I like playing it, but with a few changes this game could be something great

### 4/5 — Could use a update

*2020-04-21*

It’s pretty good I think it could use a better auction house and stuff be touched up a little

### 2/5 — It’s... okay

*2019-10-12, version 7.21*

Been playing this game for a few years.starts out fun competing for players in the auction house and watching your little dots go to battle for the team. But then you start getting into the late game when you reach the high tiers and all of a sudden the players in the auction house pretty much vanish, there may be 15-20 players in the entire auction house. This to me seems like their way to get you to buy one of their $4.99 packages they sell so you can stay competitive. Game could go from a 2 star to a 5 star if they fixed that issue.
