This game is genuinely unplayable. As soon as you enter, banner ads, pop-up ads and a the game giving you a game pass where it stops all ads (AT THE BEGINNING BTW) knowing it's going to be horrible. As soon as I pressed play, a 60 second long ad. After I finished the ad, I was able to select a referee, JUST FOR ANOTHER AD! If it has that many ads at the beginning, god knows how worse it'll get. Do not recommend playing if you hate pop-up ads and don't have patience to wait over dozens of ads just to play.
Great game only reason it is annoying to play is that the ads pop up each time I finish a review other than that 10/10
The ad situation is genuinely unbearable and out of control. Past the opening loading screen… ad. Click no thank you on the remove ads purchase and hit play… ad. Finally you’re in the game and there is a banner running across the top of the screen the entire time you’re playing. Made your call and you see the result… ad right after. Within the first 5 minutes i’ve spent more time watching ads than I have actually playing the game. It’s a shame because the gameplay loop is pretty fun. Referee sims are non existent on the app store, so this isn’t competing with much. It shouldn’t need to rely this much on monetization. reduce the ads significantly and this is an easy recommendation for a quick pick up session. One smaller issue worth noting is after a replay finishes the “Make Decision” button stays on the center of your screen blocking the view of the footage. It needs to be removed or disappear during video playback. Fix the ads, fix the button placement, and you’ve got something worth downloading. As it stands right now, I can’t recommend it.
Step into the shoes of a third referee and experience the intensity of making split-second decisions on the field! In this immersive football referee...
