So much potential, but the VAR checks are too long, when watching a reply for a VAR check you have to watch the whole play again you can't rematch the specific foul. Movement looks super awkward. Will definitely be trying again after some updates

I don't understand. When I start a match the player keeps standing and the match is very tall so that keeps the game very boring and no actions are there in the match
โ โโโโHarยท Jul 21, 2026
It was very low quality and my sensitivity was very low, and it wouldn't let me change it. Overall I would NOT recommend this game. It is terrible I could barely see anything. Also you can't even give people cards or anything!
