  • +you like casual sports games built around solo play

Not for you if...

  • you want to control soccer players on the pitch
  • you prefer multiplayer sports games to a solo career

What players say

90% of 528 reviews are positive

Players praise the refereeing premise and value for the price, but often say the decisions become repetitive. Some report confusing offside calls, the lack of an advantage rule, and awkward interface controls.
