The payment model is directly set to 0, with no in-app purchases? These days, there aren't many football mobile games brave enough to do that. I went in to play, and the feel is indeed spot on; passing, dribbling, and positioning all respond well. There's no dumb AI that just charges forward when you hold the speed button. Defense requires anticipation and positioning, so the strategy element is there. Legendary players like Klose and Fran are given directly? No need to draw for them? Very considerate.
The most important thing is that it doesn't force you to socialize or do any mandatory guild battles or leaderboard PK. I can quietly play through the entire match alone, which is very pure. The interface is clean, the pace is fast, and you can perform dribbling moves with one hand, making it suitable for a game on the way to work.
Of course, the graphics aren't top-notch, after all, it's free, but the smell of the grass and the sense of presence are much better than some fake football games that make players spend money on gacha. If you want to experience authentic football gameplay and don't care about flashy collections, you can give this a try. 👍
