Comments on tXtFL: strategic football for Android

★★★★☆ Ellijah · Jul 28, 2012
Good game Nice way to kill time. It won't let me run post. The ball and players go way off-screen, and it won't let me chose what team to play as. It doesn't let me scroll down. Other than that it's a great game.
★★★★★ A Google User · Oct 16, 2013
Love this game! This app is a must-have for fans of text based/ sports management genre. Great league options from the start and league creation is simple with a bit of spreadsheet knowledge. Realistic stats and score lines. I've found my favorite football app on the android!
★★★★☆ saron cox · Nov 17, 2021
Love it! But it's a little difficult seeing the plays. I wish the actual visuals of the plays being run were similar to Madden even if it's sky cam. I still love it though. Madden type visuals please.
★★★★★ A Google user · Jan 5, 2018
Very good game but it needs more teams more plays, but I love this game
★☆☆☆☆ Johnny · May 18, 2012
I like text sims, but............ This game is terrible. Very simplistic play calling system and horrendous interface. IMMEDIATE UNinstallation! How did 26 people give this game 5 STARS?
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Oct 30, 2014
I like text sims, but............ Impressed that there is a multiplayer element to the game and unlike VS Football and Smash Mouth football you can actually play it. The interface is horrendous though. The offensive play calling emphasizes "left", "middle", and "right" plays, but there is no rhyme and reason to the defenses' ability to stop plays based on their direction. Also, the defensive plays are really just formations, with no specificity on how to attack the offense. I'd normally give it 2 STARS just for the multiplayer aspect, but the play calling, the non description of plays, the "left", "middle", and "right" that means nothing, the horrendous interface, and the fact it is ZERO fun to play forces me to give it a "1".

After I updated welcome coach screen won't go away and can't access same screen multiplayer
