I still remember that more than ten years ago, I was still using the Nokia N95 with Symbian system. At that time, mobile games were not as fancy as they are now. A game of "Pro Evolution Soccer" could keep me in bed playing football until three in the morning. To be honest, the picture at that time was just a bunch of pixel blocks running around, but the pure joy is quite emotional when I think about it now. Not to brag, the graphics of mobile games nowadays are great, but there aren't many that can make me calm down and play for half a year.
A few days ago I saw the Spring Festival version of "Stadia" was launched, and I didn't have high expectations. After all, football mobile games on the market just come and go. But after going in and playing for a few days, I found that it really felt a bit like that back then. 😌
First of all, let's talk about licensing. The genuine version of FIFPro is different. Big names like Messi and Ronaldo are there, as well as new generations like Mbappe. What's even more surprising is that this Spring Festival event directly featured the world's legendary stars, old faces like Beckham and Ronaldo, which immediately took me back to the days when I stayed up late to watch the 2002 World Cup. To be honest, being able to see these classic players in a mobile game is more exciting to me than getting any SSR.
As for the operation, there are no fancy virtual buttons and it is very smooth to use. An old player like me is most annoyed by the complicated operations of clicking back and forth. As I get older, my response is slower, and I still feel comfortable with the traditional joystick and buttons. And the AI is not stupid, unlike teammates in some games who are like wooden pegs. I must give Crazy Sports a thumbs up for this.
But having said that, this game is free after all, so you still have to be careful if you want to play it well. But compared to the current 648 mobile games, at least it is not forced to pay for krypton, and the things given away during the Spring Festival event are quite solid. As an old football fan who has been playing since childhood, I am very happy to see such a serious football mobile game.
One final word, if you are like me and miss the days when you played football with a handheld console or an old-fashioned mobile phone, you might as well try "On the Stadium" during the Spring Festival. Although time has taken away our youth, at least there is still football, which can still make people excited. ⚽🔥
