more If u do green twice there’s still a chance u miss at that point it just feels useless and annoys u a bunch and also this one just PISSES me off man why whenever I make a player the second best player or best player on the team is in my position so I barely play it just ruins the experience just so so infuriating

Great game one of the best simulation games on the app store but i will say though it does need some work. First the rotation and playing time not to be a jerk but its beyond horrible one minute you’re a starter next a benchwarmer even if coming outta high school you were the number 1 player and even if signing to a low, mid tier school still on the bench and don’t even get me started on making the league lol. Second and final sometimes when doing the mini games there’s a bit of a lag and can affect the gameplay. That’s really all i have this game has potential to be phenomenal!

Fun game but there are several bugs. Your relationships & team chemistry will drop to 0 every time you close the game, your overall stats might change when you load your game, your brother’s awards are not always tracked. We won 3 titles in high school together but his trophy case only has 1 title. Sometimes players will appear in your lineup that do not play for your team, & most of your text responses make no sense so just pick anything.

I get very mad when I miss the prefect perfect shots it feels like it happens too often. Besides that I am having fun. Maybe or places to spend money
