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

Don't play this all u do is give yellow cards or red cards, but it gives them to the wrong team and makes the ball to the wrong to waste of my time don't play this game

So buggy and unlogical. One slides and then the person stays up and the person who stayed up trags the person who slided

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
