Score! Hero ٤+

This game can be fun but there are some problems. I hate working on a level with 4 steps only to spend all my cash on the last step, then only to have to start over from the beginning when I am out of cash. If I run out of hearts, I get it. I also hate how the strikers tend to receive the pass and run it out of bounds. On more than one occasion my hero received a pass and preceded to run half the width of the field toward the sideline out of bounds. It wasted my level and heart. I also hate when defenders who, when the game pauses for you to make your pass, are able to inexplicably able to compensate and make a defense. I also hate when you make a good pass and the receiver dribbles and has it knocked away. Goalies miraculously can slide over 5-6 feet to make an even more improbable save. Since you have no control of these players, it is all random. Don’t spend if you plan on playing until these items get fixed, otherwise you could be wasting your money.

So the game is great, you have the ability to make your own plays. You have your own player within the game. You have numerous chances to create a successful play. Story progression, great game. There are some issues rn though. The defenders seem to want the ball more than my teammates, and will often beat my teammates to the ball. The goalie seems to amazingly anticipate where the ball is going even in corners and off posts. You need to be pretty close to get the “for sure” goal. It just won’t happen from more than 15 yards. Also when I make a long pass to a teammate, he will often keep dribbling the ball til it’s out of bounds. Very annoying seeing how you have but so many chances to succeed. The AI will often waste the play on their own. Wish they did this when it was time to make a goal. You know when by themselves just him and the goalie. Instead of stopping a great distance with no one’s around trying to make the shot. Keep running forward like they do when the take the ball out of bounds. My curved crosses are pretty successful, but the defender will make his way in front of my next pass and my athlete won’t turn away and make a different pass. I’m forced to pass it straight into the defender. Start over. I still love this game though. I think this is what is frustrating me and quite a few other people. I counted 20 in the 100,000+ that are reviewing like me and are frustrated. Didn’t scroll very long either. Please fix these issues.

There’s no point of stating what is already said in previous reviews. I will say the updated engine is great, and the storylines are very entertaining. I’ve had fun on the earlier missions because they’re noticeably easier. However what is annoying is once the user progresses, it’s not only difficult but flat out unfair and unrealistic. I constantly find my self getting stuck trying to find breakthroughs with unintelligent CPU teammates and defenses that are impossible to get past. I’ve seen defenders and goalkeepers break the laws of physics to make me restart the entire sequence. It is clearly obvious they want the user to spend money. Why make me spend money for unlimited tries when you run ads every five minutes? It’s not a very user friendly system. Finally, my biggest complaint, the one level I am currently stuck on, if I cross the ball to someone level with the defender, it ends up getting intercepted in multiple ways. I say the game doesn’t understand the rules of football because if I pass the ball to the one open defender, it gets called back for being offside. Does the game not know that you can’t get called for being offside when passing within your own half? Very frustrating to deal with. Overall it’s fun but be prepared to have a terrible experience in the later stages of the story.
