As good as the game actually is, there are a couple of drawbacks that have lead me to continuously delete the app and come back to it several times. For a start, I can see where they were coming from with the whole ‘lives’ thing, but it is extremely, incomprehensibly dumb. It literally doesn’t allow you to play their game if you use up all of your lives. It locks you out and forces you to wait for stupidly long amounts of time, which I would assume turns away a significant number of their potential player base. Personally, I have deleted the app several times because I was frustrated at how stupid it was to lock you out of the game. The lives system would be more appropriate in a hardcore mode, which would be good if you wanted a bit more of a challenge, but having unlimited tries would be ideal if you just want to play and enjoy the game. Secondly, once you pass the ball off and no longer have control of the player, they tend to do some really stupid stuff. They take the ball and run directly into their opponent, or take a bad touch, or even just run away from the ball despite you selecting them. With your limited stupid lives, the only way you want to lose one is if you make a mistake, not if the automated players and the game physics are just dumb. All being said, it is a good idea for a game, but the execution is just not there. Hoping for a sequel that will alleviate the frustrations of their player base.
