Ultimate Draft Soccer 4+

The gameplay is smooth and it plays really well. But there are some glaring problems that could be easily fixed: 1. Formations - There should be more than 2/3 formations. It limits the fun you can have by not allowing the players to pick the team they want. 2. Kits - Whilst the ranked kits do emulate those of real kits, there’s not enough customisation with the kits. It would be good if you could mix and match shirts and shorts to make your kit unique. 3. Replays - The replays in the game aren’t as quality as the ones from the Score! series. At times, they’re very laggy and skip part of the goal. Other times, they are very slow and it ruins the effect of a really good goal. Fix any one of these, and it will make a good game even better. Can’t wait for the new seasons.

After making a decision on the play you want to do, the ai takes control and is so stupid, occasionally doing the exact opposite of what you told it to do, ruining everything. Some examples I have are players who passed the ball too deciding to run around the ball, never actually kick it and let the other team have it. Also when I tap to make a player go sideways, they just occasionally decide to run forwards a bit as well which means they get tackled.

Also, something else that is very annoying is the idea that the players have contracts that you have to pay for. I get the idea of having a contract so you have to manage the money you make, but then why also have the money that you need to pay them with be in a loot box, it was already random chance as to whether I got the player in the first place, why did you then also randomize whether or not I could play with them afterwards?

The game seems like it could be potentially fun, but there are so many stupid decisions in the games design and coding that make it so hard to actually enjoy the game

There’s a lot of good to this game. Amazing graphics, cool card collecting function, real licensing of players, etc. However, it gets rated down heavily because of how broken the gameplay actually is. Players first touches are completely random and often screw you over by going in the complete wrong direction, the ball bounces randomly at times straight back to your opponent (funnily enough, these things seem to happen more if you haven’t paid money to buy additional content). Players can also be unstoppable; tall attackers like Haaland cannot be beaten to headers and therefore are near guaranteed to score from every cross. Goalkeepers let in shots straight at them and fly across the goal to pull shots out of the top corner. It’s so frustrating the game is so broken yet the developers refuse to fix any of these consistent issues despite consistent feedback from users, therefore it only deserves 2 stars despite some good aspects
