This game is absolutley the worse thing that i ever have experienced in my life. 1st, my character has the phisic ability of a oyster, takes half season to just turn arround. The other season is spent on trying to get up after trying to do a tackle, which that one alone must have a range of a single pixel and an input delay of a whole year. As much as you try to prectice, your speed compared to the others is so bad...
THIS GAME? OUT OF THIS WORLD TO BE EXACT! I've played dozens of games or more than that in mobile and pc's and this game is much more addictive and worth the time! THE PROBLEM? NOTHING IN WORDS AND 0 IN NUMBERS! Trust me broo! ITS WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY!!!!
