Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Good game, my only complaint is the lazy team mates who only think they have to take 2-3 steps to get the ball. Unless I get the ball within 6 inches of them, they aren't even moving!! Otherwise, great game.

I really like this game and its really addictive.. but there are many problems that over time become painfully obvious and ruin the fun time. Physics, kicking a ball on a bounce and the bounce then proceeds to either sail over the net of hit the crossbar. By the way, hitting the crossbar is way too frequent as well. I don't know about you, but even with the ball being kicked you would have to kick the ball with great force to make it bounce over the net or hit the crossbar. Hit box on the opponents vs. your team mates, many times I have tried kicking the ball over the opponents and score the goal or pass it to my team mate, and by some sort of magical force field it is impossible to get it by them. Unless you hit it so high that it sails off screen and then you're penalized for that anyway. but even trying to pass it around them is impossible. They also move as soon as you kick the ball as opposed to when you kick the ball to your teammates and they only move to the ball when it's convenient to them. many times did I miss a pass because the teammate didn't bother moving to the ball that went right in front of him, also when they did go for the ball it went right past him even though he was practically touching it. Like I said the opponents hit box it way too big and your team mates might as well not exist. And shooting on goal, if you try to kick it in from far away, which is where the game gives me all my chances, it bounces and hits the top post, almost always, a few times it has actually been low enough to miss the top post but then its knocked away by the keeper, and even rarer it actually scores. I have a new saying for this game too "The goal post has a better save percentage than the goalie" because I have hit either the top post or the side posts more times then the goalie has actually stopped the ball. And for the life style stuff, its a good concept but when you lose relationship with whatever because you havent interacted with them in so long is annoying. I'm saving my energy for the upcoming game and if I do something with the team/boss/girlfriend/fans/sponsor it takes away 25% energy. and then I can't play to my full potential then I get less chances in game, and then I get penalized for it. Especially the girlfriend, she is always complaining about you not spending time with her. I'm sorry I'm on a professional soccer team.. maybe you can get off your lazy ass and do something with me. All in all, A good game and addicting as well. But it does have flaws that really grind my gears.

A Great game, been playing it for 30 minutes now, very addictive.
However, the goalkeeper could use a bit of improvement, he's too easy to score past (not that its really a bad thing :) ) But other than that, its awesome :D

Simply Great game!

I found this game to be really enjoyable! I guess it's kind of strange when it doesn't have that much in terms of graphics. It's still nice to play because I felt it gave you a pretty realistic representation of how soccer is played. I myself was never a fan of team sports. The closest I ever came to liking one was soccer! I didn't know the ball was going to move around while you were trying to kick it.

I still believe the tutorial gave you a good idea of what you needed to be. The best thing is probably how things go slowly with appearance. They seem to go faster with the variety of how the ball moves around. You might want to make some of the space smaller. It seems like there's a big mass of space behind the ball.
