Mini Football - Soccer game 4+

Fun, highly recommend. Addictive

This game is really fun. Games take about 2-3 mins. There is no annoying ads you’re forced to watch. It’s important to win your first couple games to build coin reserve. I recommend having 4x entry cost. Mainly because the coin values seem way off. Like each card pack gives less than 500 coins. If you use real money it cost $20 for 50k coins. No idea why anyone would pay that much. I’ve been playing for a week or two and each match I play cost 35k to enter 70k to the winner. Upgrading players doesn’t cost that much either. I haven’t bought any of the premium currency but you can earn a lot just playing daily.

Goalie AI kind of wonky. Seems like the game sometimes favors one player over another. Like if you’re on a losing streak you’ll have a much higher goal percentage on shots. Other player can combat this by not allowing shots but definitely a little something that’s there.

I also can’t figure out tournaments. Like I will see the same profile pictures a few days later. I’m pretty sure there is some bots and some real players. Which makes sense because there is a 7 second match making for 8 teams. Still fun.

Rigged Game

The app is clearly not against real people (if it was they would be slide tackling left and right like I do because it is stupidly effective) and on top of that, there are games where you can easily score 7 goals from WAY outside the box, and then others where you have 10 good shots and not score on a single one. I’ve watched the goalies when I shoot, and in games where they stack the odds against you the goalie is already moving in the direction you’re aiming your shot, not to mention it’ll set you up against a team that is over 100 team points above you, so they are so much faster than you that you can’t even move the ball effectively. This only happens on a win streak, once you lose a game or two it goes back to being ridiculously easy and then when you win a few more, it gets ridiculously hard again. The only way you can really prevent a loss at times is literally not letting the other team take a shot, because your goalie won’t stop anything. I’ve tracked my goalie saves in losses where I’ve dominated and outshot the other team by at least 5 shots, and while their goalie would make every save or only let maybe 1 in, my goalie RARELY even made ONE save! And they only took 2-4 shots!! The longer you play the more you notice these changes between games in the difficulty, especially when you get that rare game against somebody who is actually lower than you in team overall, and you get absolutely smacked by them because they score on every shot.

Fun but rigged

It's a fun to play, only when the games are close and you're not constantly losing due to the fact that you're not playing against real players but against the system. It is a system that is rigged, where even way lower level team is so much faster than your team. You can tell by noticing how the other team's players seem to have unlimited stamina and can run from one end of the field to the other and back again with the same speed. I had the ball on in side of the field and after passing it and the same player that was chasing the first player all the across was able to catch me and seem to not run out of energy. And it's the same with all the players.
It's a good game to play when the system is not being stacked against you and games are won o lost by a goal or two. You can tell by the way they can score 4-5 goals within the first "25" mins of the first half. Those games, I can take 10 -12 shots and never go in even from close. It's takes the fun out of a great set of a game. Another issue is when you want to change players, the system will select whatever player it wants. A lot of times it selects the players that are the farthest from the ball. When you are attacking a lot of times all my midfielders and forwards go to one side and literally just bunch themselves there and don't move. Once I see corrections done to the game I will update my review.
