★★★★ Paul Mckerry 5/4/2026 v26.4.0
if you don't pay, you lose
★★★★ S 5/2/2026 v26.4.0
SCAM ALERT You can spend 100 dollars in a week and have to do it the next week because you get no rewards and the rewards it gives you is once a week and bs because you need 80 wins and only let's you play 3 games a day...the other rewards are garbage and dont even help at all and gives you 2 energy lmfao nothing but ads on top of it and one of the worse reward systems a game could have. I lose to people and makes no sense, 7 sacks to 1 sack, 500 yards to 250, 5 interception to his 1 and lose
★★★★ Jaime Gonzalez 5/1/2026 v26.4.0
I don't get credit for watching the ads. Have to restart the game and click on the same ad and sometimes that doesn't even work!!!
★★★★ Jo Kerr 4/30/2026 v26.4.0
It's not fun. played it for 3 days. you need to spend a lot of time or money to get decent cards. madden mobile has at least option to actually play the game
★★★★ Bryan Carroll 4/30/2026 v26.4.0
first off let me start of by saying, I like the game,next there are a few things things really dragging it down which is why I give it 1 star.? 1 customer support BLOWS! I emailed them on the 24th of APRIL, it is now the 30th of APRIL and I still have heard nothing. 2. coins! we must add a way to get more, maybe like a buying option seeing the game is pay to win after you hit 83+ overall anyways. 3. card packs! card packs are garbage and a waste of your money off once you hit 90 overall.
★★★★ Donald Sanders 4/27/2026 v26.4.0
I'm so confused right now how I lost to a team with their whole dline qb rb all in the red they slightly rated higher 86.5 I'm 85.8 but my whole squad is 100 and fitness was over 90 I got 3 safeties over 90 a cb at 90 and 1 at 89 and lb at 91 and they throw for 408yds really and his qb in the red I lose seriously what's the point of making sure u your upgraded your team and this happens had it happen before crazy mess fix this mess this was during the weekend league game and I was the home team
★★★★ D Gove 4/27/2026 v26.4.0

★★★★ Michelle Williams 4/26/2026 v26.4.0
it made the cards play for you
★★★★ james randolph 4/25/2026
Bad AI cheats for pay players
★★★★ Ty Kappler 4/22/2026 v26.4.0
cant even choose own plays
★★★★ Hunter Ingram 4/18/2026 v26.4.0
I would rate this a five but 3 reason 1 you need internet 2 you can't save progress if you undownload and 3 it takes 8 hours to get 1 energy and I accidentally undownloaded it and I had goated stuff and it all got deleted
★★★★ Jared Morris 4/17/2026 v26.3.1.1
Decent management game. I wish you weren't so locked into specific players as much. Like if I want my franchise qb to be Malik Willis let me improve his stats permanently to be viable in the long run instead of making me opt for any high rating qb just to hit average team ratings.
★★★★ Michael Simonson 4/7/2026 v26.3.1
been playing for months and now it's a cash game. I can't improve my team without paying for the expense pack because all other packs are worthless. it's also terrible you can't buy coins which are needed to buy cards to complete some tasks. overall it could be fun, but really it's just a money scam.
★★★★ Brandon Walker 4/7/2026 v26.3.1
it's been fine up until today. now my app keeps force closing right after the load screen. I tried to uninstall and install again but it's still happening. fix this and we back to 5 stars
★★★★ David McGinnis 4/1/2026 v26.3.1
Worst customer support in history of mobile gaming. Also, massive money scam as they dont advertise when making purchase but the purchases you make are taken away from you every August so people spending large amounts of money to pull players who they really are only renting at massive costs. This game is a scam and again, customer support is worst Ive ever seen.
★★★★ tom prindle 4/1/2026 v26.3.1
Account Lost - Had an error in the game. Played it for a longtime. Uninstalled it and Installed again and lost access to the game
★★★★★ Stephanie Collie 5/9/2026 v26.4.0
this isn't how I I speck it to be

★★★★★ Big Daddy V 4/25/2026 v26.4.0
fix the ads, keep watching but not getting credit, ever since the last update.
★★★★★ Tyler Barber 4/21/2026 v26.4.0
I like the game but I don't like that you only get 3 energy you cant play the game pretty much without playing for it
★★★★★ Philip Roether 4/13/2026 v26.3.1.1
Fun till you get to about 84 overall on your team then prepare to lose a majority of the time since this game is heavy on pay to win
★★★★★ Joshua Sizemore 4/11/2026 v26.3.1
can't watch ads at all.
★★★★★ Richard LeMire 4/1/2026
Disappointing game. I finally uninstalled it after being disappointed so many times. The structure of the game is fine. The problem is the fickle outcomes of matches. I've lost far more games against teams worse than mine than I've won games against teams better than mine. The lower rated teams also aren't trained at all, while my team is trained to 3 and sometimes 4. I finally accepted that my efforts in this game aren't rewarded appropriately. Don't waste your time with this game.
★★★★★ Chris Fox 3/24/2026
its fun at first until you get into the 80's range. Then you can clearly see how it's rigged against you. Even the packs are rigged. One cool thing though is the marketplace
