You cannot keep up with this game competitively if you have not been playing since launch, or are not willing to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars to acquire a handful of cards. Just don't bother, go play master duel, hearthstone or Pokémon pocket instead.

TL;DR - The game could be very good if servers and goalkeeper AI are improved, but the devs seem to be in it for the money rather than enjoyment.

Okay, where to begin. I feel as if I'm mostly going to be recapping a lot of the issues already raised, but I feel like the more people speak out about this the more likely the devs are to respond.

The base gameplay (not taking into consideraton the connection issues and terrible goalie AI) is actually really enjoyable and the music in the game is really high quality, but the business model and deceptive tactics of the devs is incredibly shady, downright deplorable and ultimately means that I would not recommend this game.

As others have stated there is currently an event to commemorate the launch of the game, wherein originally the reward for reaching level 48 was 3000 E-coins (coins which are the event equivalent of the premium currency) which was basically $30 worth of free coins. This could be seen to be overkill, and it seems as if the devs thought this too.

DURING THE EVENT, and I'm not making this up, AFTER THE EVENT STARTED they changed the rewards so that now the E-Coin reward is at level 56, and only provides 1000 coins. Not only this but they also changed the rewards so that players now do not get a free DLC character, but rather a "capsule" (a gacha/luck system) with a chance to win one of the characters.

THIS IS NOT OK. Whoever thought this would be a good idea is seriously misguided, and really makes me question the intentions of the devs. Now some players have received 3000 free coins and a free DLC characters while others are stuck with only 1000 coins (which equates to just over one permanent cosmetic item) if they make it to level 56.

To add insult to injury the daily reward system which had previously provided 50 E-Coins for completing 5 games a day has also now been changed to provide only 1000 points. These points are obtained from playing the game, and 1000 points is a very meagre amount.

I understand completely that they probably thought 3000 coins on top of the EXP boosts was a bit overkill (which it probably was) but to change the event mid-way through shows that they don't consider the playerbase as much as they do their own profit.

If they want to maintain their reputation they should either change back the rewards to how they were and compensate players to make up for what they lost or provide some kind of compensation after the event has ended as an apology (and I don't mean points, which is what I expect they would probably do). Currently all of the permanent cosmetics are locked behind a paywall, something which leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.

I will say, however, that I still intend to play simply because of the club community. This is the only reason while I plan on continuing to play; being part of a club is essentially the same as a guild, and I've met a lot of friends on this game in such a short time.

Also the league matches that come with being part of a club fix some of the complaints about lack of teamwork.

If the Devs rectify their actions (and fix Goalkeeper AI/servers by creating a seperate Brazilian server) I may edit this review to recommend it but as of right now I would say that it's only worth playing for the clubs.
