Retro Goal for Positive User Reviews
✓ FunSuch a fun game to play, I came from retro bowl to this and it’s amazing, goalkeepers are to overpowered though.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Like the game but some problemsOnce I got over a few problems I’ve had fun with the game. Now I just have a few problems first being players not wanting to join my club because my training building isn’t high enough level. This is annoying because I’ll have my training builder at a pretty high level but I still have to pay more and wait 2-3 weeks for it to be upgraded. Another problems I have is I will be playing a mess up and lose my chance. Then the other team will score (usually 1 time but I’ve had up to 3 times) and with that I might mess up at the 80 th minute and the other team will score and I won’t be able to play again and the game will end which is kind of annoying. (An example of this is a game where I was up by 3 in the 31 minute and I didn’t touch the ball again until the 73 minute and it was tied) Also the other team will kick it and my player will be about to get it and it will say chance missed. This is extremely annoying because a lot of the time it loses me the game or I will tie because I just lost a chance to score. But overall a pretty good game..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Good game, but too many yellow cardsI played Retro Bowl before this and I will say that I prefer the graphics of this game over that of Retro Bowl. I also find the music to be an improvement. I also appreciate that despite having premium players, it is still possible to create an elite football club. However, there are a few improvements I would like to suggest: -I find that I am getting lots of yellow cards despite my players having good morale. I find my team getting 2-3 yellow cards in many games. This seems to occur most frequently when the other team has the ball. Please lower the frequency of yellow cards when the other team has the ball. -One of my players got a 1 match ban for receiving 10 yellow cards in a season. After 1 game I put him back in. He played 1 match before being given another 1 match ban for the same reason. I do not think that this is an intentional mechanic, as banning players every other match would seem a bit absurd. I have found the only way to get past this is by having the player get another yellow card so that they have 11 yellow cards in a season. Please fix this so that players receiving 10 yellow cards in a season will only be given 1 ban for receiving 10 yellow cards. Despite these concerns, the game is still fun to play. I look forward to what future updates will bring..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Innovative gameplay, my go to footy gameI think that it’s brilliant how New Star learn from their Retro Bowl format and then adapt to innovate and bring in a brand new football format in Retro Goal. Absolutely brilliant and I’ve been thinking about other sports like Rugby etc, but obvs you need the footfall to make it pay. It’s my ‘Angry Birds’ of 2023 if you like. Easy to pick up and play on the Tube or for a quick 5 minutes of my own time, and does not have all the flashing buy me, buy me and unwrapping stickers and Easter eggs to get past. You can focus on the game. I’d love to see ‘team editor’ and ‘kit editor’ features from Retro Bowl in Retro Goal so that you can ‘build your own league format’ as I love to do in Retro Bowl. Means you can create a Champions League team format or your local non-league Bromsgrove Rovers format if you like. Thank you New Star..Version: 1.0.3
✓ An amazing little football manager game!Been playing for a week now and on my 5th season on hard (and no it’s not impossible to win you just need good players too do it, as expected 1-3 star players won’t win every match on hard) and having an absolute joy with the game, currently at Liverpool and have a strong youthful team and enjoy winning and losing a surprised match making some seasons very tense at the end. Like I said iv been enjoying the content available to me and can’t wait to move to my next club soon for the next challenge. I’d like to give some ideas about what I’d love to see in the game and hoping that the developers can see them, 1. I‘d love to see some better screens for when you win a trophy like when you win the Champions league there’s a little bit animation of a trophy being lifted with flares or confetti?? 2. could we get international football or jobs? With the respected competitions?? And lastly a screen a stat screen about your career such as your longest spell at a club? Your top goalscorer, best player longest win spree ect Edit^ just joined Barcelona after a good domination at liverpool and I agree with others it’s impossible to win when your team is that bad, maybe make it so it’s Harder to join these big clubs but they reward you with a decent squad already?? Every team being rubbish you join Just is not motivating and building up is not a challange it’s the impossible.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Awesome game but needs a few ideasAfter purchasing the unlimited version of the game I set out to become the best team in the league. After a shaky first season I bought a high rated forward and this is when things changed. With one good fast goal scorer on your team, you can almost score every time. After realizing this I upgraded the defense and set out to be #1. After just 2 more seasons I had completely dominated the liga league. I had around 5000 saved up for when I moved onto the premiere league. After simply one season I had taken my team to the top of the premiere league. At this point I wasn’t sure what to do. I had dominated every league I was in and now I was the champion of a world-class league. What I would tell the developers is, maybe make it so that instead of picking a team and taking a job I wish that once you had become champion of a league that it should send you to a higher level league. Once you’ve beaten most of the lower level leagues then send them to the premiere league. It just seems odd I can go straight from a low level league to the premiere league and dominate from the start. There needs to be more linear progression imo..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Great StartThe game is great, following a similar art style and gameplay mechanics as retro bowl. A few gripes I have are: the pass mechanic should not auto switch to a lobbed ball as you go further but it should be an option for a ground pass or lobbed one (similar to the new retro bowl update). The trophy cabinet is glitched as that winner of the premier league does not update and is stuck on 2020, so I don’t have the win even though I’ve won it twice already. The teams ratings are very random, the top teams premier league (and other tier 1 leagues) should have a higher rating and it shouldn’t be randomised as it seems to be currently with the team coming 20th and Manchester United having basically the same start ratings. Lastly, it’s a bit too easy to progress and build the best team, basically within a season to 2 and the progress should be more incremental to feel more rewarding. Overall these are small issues and the game is thoroughly enjoyable and I can easily recommend it to anyone. Keep up the good work!.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Needs a Kit EditorLove the game, the World Cup update is a great touch. The only criticism I have is some of the kits don’t look right and often clash (white home versus light blue away) can there be an addition of a kit editor like in retro bowl, with home/away/alternate options. I wouldn’t mind if it was a one time purchase to unlock the editor, I just think it would make the game that much more enjoyable.Version: 0.9.18
✓ Great but could be betterLoved Retro Bowl and this is fantastic. I like the options at the moment, but still in development. Having to pay real money for top players I don’t like and controls could be better me changing direction it makes me think I’ve double tapped and wanted to sprint, but it’s good fun. I hope it gets better!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Fun but why can’t you play a however long you wantI just started playing and the game is really fun and enjoyable when you get the controls down but why do you have to spend money to keep playing your save I wouldn’t have an issue with this game if you didn’t have to spend money to keep playing I can understand if it’s players and in game currency but you want the people to keep coming back and playing so why restrict that it makes this game not free to play it’s like a free demo and then you have to spend a dollar to keep going if that’s the case then why not just price the game as a dollar in the app store instead of saying it’s free then forcing them to spend a dollar for the rest of your ability to play what I enjoyed about retro bowl is that you could build a god squad without having to spend money but now your forced to spend money just to play the game and that confuses me great game though just make it free.Version: 0.9.11
✓ Very promisingPositives: - Great gameplay -Great menu game too (transferring, selling...) -Visuals are very good -Records and achievements gives more meaning to play Negatives: -When moving to a top club, the clubs overall is reset to the lowest. Despite seeing why having everything handed to you on a plate ruins the fun, having a terrible team with no additional funds makes it pointless to join a top club. To the point where on extreme, it’s impossible to be beat Caen for example even though you’re are managing PSG. -Difficulty jump from hard to extreme is, well, extreme. I had a long state of hard being too easy but extreme being unbearably difficult which put me off the game for a while. -A bit petty, but no cinematic once winning a league. I understand that this would be difficult to implement, but having a picture of a trophy is a bit underwhelming. -Finally, the potential stats given would be better, if you had a scouting facility to upgrade because there’s is no reason why buying another player is worth it. It almost makes the academy redundant. Player stats would also be appreciated p, implementing something like player development in fifa. Overall: Despite the negatives being long, I can’t begin to explain how good of a game it is. I only list the negatives more in depth as I believe that this game has the potential to be a masterpiece..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Great timeGot playing this after retro bowl and it’s incredible.Version: 0.9.9
✓ They’ve done it againI have to admit that it would be incredibly hard to follow up a game as polished and as fun Retro Football, but I can’t say that this game falls short in it’s predecessor. As someone who barely follows soccer, and usually has little interest in the sport, this game is INCREDIBLY fun. They’ve done quite well incorporating so many leagues and all of these countries, and it seems like the game will go deeper than what I currently understand i.e. family/favorite team. Every time a game like this I HAVE to buy the unlimited version, but I have to admit the game is more micro transaction prone than retro football, but honestly it doesn’t take too long to grind for a player of that caliber without paying for them with real money. Besides that I cannot complain about the game, and cannot wait until they release a retro basketball and baseball!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Great game, BUT....Let me preface this by saying I’ve been a big fan of everything New Star has ever put out. All of their games are outstanding, and if you haven’t played other games, you should. Retro Goal is no different, taking the concept and design from Retro Bowl to the other kind of football. In most areas, the game is a total success. That being said.... Man, the booking system in this game is horrendous. It seems like every other game I am down to 10 men, through no fault of my own. If there’s a trait that all of my players have where they are red card magnets, I’m not aware of it. It’s beyond frustrating to lose my best players game after game. One thing I do appreciate about the booking system - I can commit fouls on my own and get booked for them! It’s nice to have consequences for my ill-advised tackles. That’s not what I’m talking about here though - I often find myself getting yellow card after yellow card during the AI simulation period of matches. I’ll often end up with 4 or more yellow cards from the AI, plus a player sent off (and thus banned for the next match. This is even more of a problem when you are playing the half season length). It feels unrealistic, and thank god there’s no yellow card accumulation ban in the game, or I’d have no players left. Apart from the booking system, great game. I look forward to many more hours spent with this app, as well as the continued updates that New Star is sure to provide!.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Very GoodFun and challenging. Gets to a time where even on extreme difficulty it isn’t very hard to win every game however. Would love to see a basketball / NBA version of this game. I’m not a football nor am I an American football fan but I enjoy each of the retro games and would be so happy to play one for my sport.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Flawed But Still FunHaving a ton of fun with this game, but there are a few things that keep me from giving it 5 stars. My biggest gripe is the way the game handles you switching teams. As it stands currently there’s absolutely no reason to take another job with a different team. Whether you accept a job with a big name premier league side or a 2nd division French club you get stuck with a crappy squad and no good facilities like you’re back at square one. I made the switch on my first team and I’m really regretting it now. My other big complaint is the way the game handles defense or lack there of. With no way to control your defenders you just have to pray the computer is nice to you. If they can update those 2 I’d happily give this 5 stars..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Not badIt’s a good game, I’m just not a fan that you have to pay money to continue the main career mode..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Do a baseball game in this style please!I’ve been a fan of your retro games and i think it would be a great idea to make a baseball game in this style! I like that retro look to you games with that modern touch i think it be a great game to make thank you for your great games. Hope you consider this have a great day! Also this is a great game worth the extra money!.Version: 0.9.11
✓ Brilliant, but needs some workLong time fan of Retro Bowl, an American football game from the same developers. I always hoped for a soccer game in that same style as RB is a very enjoyable game that I have played for years. Retro goal fills that space and is easily one of the best soccer management games you can download on the App Store. It runs smoothly and plays very well. I just think that it needs some time to get further updates that will perfect it. I have no major complaints other than that about this game. It is a very good game, it just needs to be perfected and have the details ironed out. I have been enjoying the gameplay since this game debuted and I see great potential. As with RB, the real fun starts when you have gone through some games and assemble a stellar squad, it takes some patience. Give this game a year and it’ll be one of the best gaming experiences in the App Store, period. I highly recommend playing it, every single goal is a guaranteed euphoric experience. New Star Games understands what mobile gaming should be and almost every game they have released has been a highly enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys sports games..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Steep learning curve, charming gameThere’s quite a steep learning curve in this game meaning you will get frustrated trying to do anything during your first few hours of gameplay. however, it’s worth staying with it, i feel, as it’s quite a charming game, very reminiscent of 90s association football games. i don’t feel it’s quite as well executed as retro bowl & rbc but it’s a great stylistic companion. also, once you get the hang of it, in-app purchases (outside of purchasing the full game) aren’t necessary to succeed. definitely recommend.Version: 1.0.3
✓ GreatThe game is very good and it’s because i’m so into Pixel games so i saw this game and it’s so fun but after 3 season of playing It stop letting me in the game by i think that as nothing do to with the game probably my phone or something but really a good game it says that it’s 10 matches free but i had more then 10 matches so i mean it was fun still while it lasted.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Solid game!Solid solid game. After playing retro bowl for ages it was so nice to pick up this game and see some familiarities as I was able to pick up up start away. Gameplay is fun and unique. Little features like each players boy hood club and family really add to the game as well! Maybe adding in similar editing feature such as team colours and names like in Retro Bowl would be cool but a really fun game!.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Needs just a few tweaks!I really enjoy both this game and retro bowl. However, there are a couple of aspects of this game that I wish were more similar to retro bowl. Some minor improvements that I think would benefit the game would be: 1. Allow for creation of a team and place it in a respective league. 2. Allow for you to see which team you selected at the get-go (I selected a team at random and now I can’t complete certain achievements because I don’t know my “favorite team”… 3. Allow for you to view the standings of other leagues and for you to qualify for tournaments your new team qualified for last year should you join them next season- this way you’ll know if you are joining a team eligible for champions league etc. 4. Being back “dynamic” difficulty setting..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Wicked game download nowThis is the first time i have ever written a review for a game, i first tried the retro bowl. Being from England I’ve never really played much American football i liked the concept but i didn’t know how to play, but after finding out they have a soccer version . This game is amazing i cannot even explain it is currently 7 am and i cannot put the game down..Version: 0.9.9
✓ You need to make more games of different sports like baseballLove the games this guy makes.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Amazing gameLove this game, so addictive and interesting. Only downfall is that you have to pay 1.99$ to be able to play past week 14.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Bit CheekyLike the retro bowl game that gives you the option to support that then gives you more salary cap space when you do! Also think the controls are a little fiddly maybe do left side of the screen movement right side of the screen pass/shooting! Great game hoping to make the the prem!.Version: 0.9.8
✓ Extremely affordable funFor those saying it’s not really free, you’re right. You can try it out free for a while and then choose to buy it or not for less than the price of a chocolate bar. There are times within the game when you run out of money to keep your best players without spending some real cash, but that just encourages you to keep developing players to replace them which is half the fun and the challenge of the gameplay loop. This, and Retro Bowl, are total winners and lots of fun at a fraction of what quality entertainment usually costs. Can’t wait for the next sport you guys intend to conquer..Version: 0.9.15
✓ Not ImpossibleStarted with Nottingham Forest and got a couple of trebles with Arsenal. If your team is >3 Star Rating, play on Hard Mode. Only start playing Extreme when you have a 3< Star Rated squad, because only then it’s actually a challenge (not impossible) and the game starts being fun. Now dominating with Fenerbahçe 💙💛..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Awesome game can’t stop playingGrew up playing NSS this game is really good only £1 and you get 10 games free I’m on normal difficulty and haven’t lost a game winning every thing so far in my 5th season so I would like normal difficulty to be harder since i was a basic championship side and also would like to see more transfer players some at a point when you have a good team aren’t good enough and your stuck with a not so good player maybe add the refresh like there is on coaches.Version: 0.9.2
✓ CAREER MODE 🙏You can play as a normal player since that is already east to code. So basically you could choose a youth team to play for and you play one season in your youth team then you get contract options from teams based on how well you played in the youth team (Obviously this could be difficult to code so you could just make a normal team choosing system this is just a suggestion that I personally would really like) Then you could get trade, have scandals, choices just like you do in normal career mode (another suggestion that’s not needed) Although you probably wouldn’t see this I think this would be an amazing thing to add and could make you company benefit.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fun but broken goalkeepersVery fun game with nice mechanics. Management side and trying to balance contracts is good too. However, it has got to a point where even extreme difficulty is too easy because the goalkeepers are really (disproportionately) bad at certain things. Any shot with lots of curve from the left hand side of the area will go in and more problematically (but hilariously) any shot from an extreme angle from the left of the goal (any distance) will go in. If the two goalkeeping issues were solved extreme would be a really good challenge but due to this it’s possible to score a goal at will if needed to win a game..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Fun little football simA pretty decent throwback to early 90’s football games. Gameplay is a little tricky to pick up first game or two but then you get used to it and it actually plays nicely. Only reason it’s not five stars is because it forces you to pay to continue to play after playing 10 games..Version: 0.9.6
✓ Great, but…This game is really good in my opinion but there’s a few things that I don’t like about it. 1. If you want to start in the premier league only one team would want to accept you and sometimes no team wants you in the Prem 2. I left my ok team to go to my favorite team which is pretty good in real life but when I went there everything was just back to square one. 3. Why does it cost so much to re-sign a player when their contract expires? I had a 2 star youth academy player that cost 800 bux to re-sign. It didn’t make sense and I hope this is improved in the future. Apart from that, I love the game and I probably won’t stop playing it anytime soon..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Amazing mobile manager gameI have no complaints about this game. I’ve only had this game for an hour and I’ve already payed for the full version which is really cheap at £1 and it’s well made hence why it’s 5 stars the only thing o would like to see is something like a scout report from them searching players in a country something you would see in fifa. Apart from that it’s one of the best mobile football game I’ve played..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Simple, enjoyable soccer gameI’m not overly a fan of soccer/football games but I really like this one. You don’t have to be really invested in stats but there’s enough to manage that doesn’t bog you down. The controls can be a bit tricky, but once you get used to them, they work well. You don’t play the whole game, just moments where you can score. It’s also cheap too so worth buying! Well done on a fun game..Version: 0.9.1
✓ FunFun game brings back memories fun mechanics.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Please add editor mode !Love the game so far, payed the premium and expected to be able to edit the players name at least (like in Retro Bowl) :( Would be really appreciate to be able to edit more stuff because I’d really like the game to be more immersive and customizable ! Overall great game !.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great game butInclude china and chinese players in tleagues and global champions.Version: 0.9.21
✓ Great gameLove this game, and I’m sure improved up dates will be made, and I hope the first will be having to defend the oppositions attacks to give it that full game experience, great work on this game guys 🙂👍🏾…. An update on this game to make harder levels would continue me playing this game as I now seem to have completed it.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Cool gameOnly disappointing thing is even in full game play you can buy ‘star bux’.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Easy to playGreat game and addictive but it just seems to easy. I came 2nd in my 1st season with derby and I didn’t sign any players or coaches. Needs to be a little more in depth, like a loan list for players, contract negotiations and the ability to sign free players. But overall a decent game 👍.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Addictive fun gameThe game is really good I’ve been hooked since day one. I went with Blackpool and I got them into the prem, won the champions league first time of asking. I’m just starting my 7th season I’ve not moved clubs yet because I don’t really fancy starting from scratch and loosing all my players I managed to max out. It’ll be good if/ when you moved clubs you got to keep your team or at least some because the coins you use to buy them with runs down real quick and that money is also for your contract renewal, facilities ect.Version: 0.9.2
✓ GreatGreat.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great gameWould recommend.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Way to addictive!Once you master the controls this is great fun.Version: 0.9.6
✓ GoodIt’s fun and a great time passer but it’s annoying to have to pay to continue.Version: 0.9.21
✓ Good game but with limitation if you don’t payI really enjoy the game and I recommend. You cannot change level or get better in the game if you don’t pay. I have several apps I paid just because I evaluated that it would be fair. But this one I will not pay due to this limitations. In my opinion there are better ways to ask for money, such as limiting the teams you can select. Not limiting playability. Anyway, good game though..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Pretty goodPretty good.Version: 0.9.8
✓ TeoYou guys make the best games. The soccer is even more enjoyable than the football. Please do hockey I need it. I would play nonstop.Version: 0.9.21
✓ If you loved NSS you’ll also love this!Been looking for a football game on my iPad for ages and this ticks all of my boxes. It’s not pay to win, the controls are immediately intuitive, it’s got multiple leagues and it’s an addictive manager career sim. Save your little gold coins and gradually upgrade your stadium or invest in better players. Recommended for fans of the old player manager games on the Amiga. Thanks to the devs for a great little game!.Version: 0.9.3
✓ Enjoyable but repetitiveVery good wee game, the music can be a bit annoying but it’s all in keeping with the 16-bit theme and I’m sure it can be switched off (I haven’t bothered to look). The gameplay itself is easy to pick up, but my one worry is already a season and a half in, it’s very very repetitive. The game does feel like a bit of a ‘grind’ after a short while..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Game CriticPlease I beg that you made a retro basketball games please….Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very goodVery addictive but the swiping controls can be a bit annoying.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Good not greatThis game has a lot of potential. It is a fun game to play, the controls are good and the gameplay just feels great. My only problems are the way the transfers and other clubs are made. It is tougher to get good players in this game which I think is a good idea, but it is almost impossible to do anything without an elite player. I had to buy a good player in order to have a chance to ascend to first division, other wise it would not have been possible. Once I ascended I had a job offer from Barcelona which I wanted to take, but the game makes you start the team from zero which makes no sense at all. Why would I want to go to a big club and have to start from scratch. Retro bowl allowed you to move to a different team and keep the players that were already included. Overall good game, just lacking some of the great qualities that retro bowl had..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Great game to kill timeReally enjoyable little sim game which does improve as you progress. Surprising how much control you have and rewards of seeing through the highs and lows of a football season. Definitely retro and a blast from the past of the games we would invest so much time in. Keeps it beautifully simple!.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Good, But could be betterI love Retro Bowl and was playing it form the begging, Retro Goal is no different the game is as fun and addictive but it needs some tweaks. The game is great but the controls need some work, moving gets annoying as sometimes I will swipe quickly to change direction and it will think I double tapped forcing my player to shoot. The game is great and worth $1.49 but controls are lacking..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Addictive like NSSGreat game, really fun. Couple of bugs as it’s early days, would be helpful if there was an option to rehire coaches like players once their contracts are up. Also once a player gets to 10 bookings he seems to be suspended every other game. Would be nice to simulate minor continental trophies like europa league and have a few extra English divisions. Also it seems to only play half a season??.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Amazing but, a few thingsThis game is amazing and I find that the purchase I made was worth it. Of course, there is some flaws. One is that I wished the economics of the game would be different. I don’t like how when, when you switch to a new club, for example Arsenal, they aren’t as good as they were before you signed and everything. Overall this game is great, and I do know that this game just released but I do hope that over future updates, that we get more leagues and if not, have countries represented that don’t have leagues. I do notice that there are teams for example, Cruz Azul, that exist in the game but aren’t playable because the league isn’t in the game. I really like this game and I hope that in the future, it gets better and better..Version: 0.9.1
✓ SolidMaybe not as good as retro bowl, but still really fun..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Best gameI would spend a lot of money on this this is amazjng.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Great gameLoving this so far, it’s a great game for football nerds!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great game just needs a tiny more workLove Retro Bowl and was excited for a soccer version. The overall game is great and after a short time of practice I had the controls mastered. The only big issues I’ve run into are easily fixable. First, the booking system is a little over the top. I had a player receive two yellows and red with 0’ minutes played. A bit extreme. Second, the system to switch teams needs a lot of work. I’m winning the champions league and accruing records with my first team then get an offer from Barcelona or Man U. These are typically elite teams. But when you switch over to them they have one star facilities and players. There is no incentive to leave your original team. That is a big issue in my opinion that needs to be adjusted. I would love if you could bring over the customization of retro bowl to this game too. It was fun renaming players and coaches. Currently that is not available. Other than those few gripes, this game is a lot of fun. I think in another year and some tweaks this will be the best soccer game available. Thanks for all the hard work devs!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Good game but still needs improvementThis game is great, many fun aspects and is really easy to learn. Retro Goal definitely has the potential to be a good game. Firstly, try not to add to much, many games in the industry start off good but the developers add to much which can make the game more annoying and more confusing. Just keep things simple. Secondly, the money system is not great, many good 4/5 star players are quite expensive. They’re contract usually lasts for about a year (if your not paying for better players) and that can mean that you will not have enough money to sign them again. Finally, include dynamic difficulty that can adjust to how your playing. This would be great because easy is to easy and hard is to hard. Medium is alright, but with the money system it could be improved. Overall, the game is really good but these small improvements could really boost its popularity, and make it a more enjoyable experience..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Simple and enjoyable!It’s a simple game but it has great depth with lots to do and multiple ways to score. Controls take some getting used to but once you have mastered it the gameplay is very enjoyable. Highly recommend - and a steal at 89p!.Version: 0.9.3
✓ Great game 👍If you like Retro bowl this game won’t disappoint. So many unique controls that are great but not a necessity to win. I think the system this game takes on when not playing football but just managing the is far superior to retro bowl, although some may prefer the simplicity. Overall very addictive game that you can relax and play for fun or take advantage of variety of choices to make. Test it out and if you like it totally worth a mere 2 bucks. Now give me my 250 starbux.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Perfect I need moreSay no more. Play it atleast.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Great game! A few things thoughThe full game was only one dollar, so I’m not gonna cry about it, though I like how in Retro Bowl it was totally optional to pay any real money. The gameplay is super fun, though there are a few things that are funky. The header mechanic can sometimes trip you up if you try to drop a lifted pass right in front of a player. If you swipe to set your players direction as the ball comes down, even if you haven’t highlighted that player in the yellow circle to select a headed pass, he will head it away, rather than controlling it and moving in the direction you wanted. It can be very frustrating. It would also be nice to see a change with the crowd noise to make it a little more fun to score. The crowd roars for about 2 seconds before quieting again - I wanna hear the crowd go crazy for muuuuuuch longer than that if I’m watching the player celebration..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Great game! But…I’ve really been enjoying this game so far! The games aren’t too long so I can easily play during some down time. The ability to play across multiple leagues and competitions is very enjoyable as well and is good incentive to collect trophies across different leagues. My biggest complaint which is kinda game breaking, is the contract system. At the end of each season, I’ve had players whose contract won’t expire for another 3-5 years expire before the season ends. Which forces you to either renew or release them. And if you have a great team… each contract is not cheap and practically forces you to restart at the next season. Theres really no way around it unless you want to spend real money each season on the in game currency to have enough coin to renew all players, which is very unfair. Or swap teams/leagues each season. I sincerely hope this is a bug. I’m happy to spend a little money on this game for players and in game currency. Just not every season (which is about 20-30 matches)..Version: 1.0.0
✓ IDK just some ideas1. I feel that a team such as Phoenix constantly rank at the bottom of the chart I feel they should be able to “rebuild” faster per say and in 2-3 years be a top team and if not top then a mid pack team. 2. I’ve rebuilt the Phoenix team for they are my favorite team and won countless titles I’m talking 5 star offense 5 star midfield and 5 star defense but the moment I left that team they collapsed I get that I’m the coach and losing a great coach can cost a team but they shouldn’t crumble to the bottom of chart. 3. Players after retirement should be aloud to be one of the hirable coaches that you have the opportunity to hire. I’ve had some star players that i feel had a legacy cemented for the team and I would love to see them comeback as an assistant coach. 4. Just like retro bowl I feel there should be a hall of fame for I know at least in the United States there is a soccer hall of fame. 5. I wish you could see the statistics of your players such as the amount of goals made in a career amount of assists and amount of passes for the goalie the stats would be blocks/saves and passes but I also would find it quite the laugh if own goals was a statistic the game had. I have more but these are my top five I’ll probably comment my other ideas but for now this is good..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Fun and addicting gameExcellent game! I always enjoy hopping on Retro Goal for some FIFA-styled action. Though the $2 paywall was difficult at first to spend my money on, I am glad I did.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Details, Gameplay, and BusinessFirst off, I think Retro Goal has the potential to match the game it rhymes with, it already has the best game details and little details, from seeing your name pop up in a news clipping saying you dont want a player back to one saying you are keen on landing a job at your childhood club, theres literally a social side to the game, something most games dont have, and its really a nice touch. The gameplay feels smooth and reliable once you get the hang of it, definitely wish there was more depth to the ref system than yellow cards for every foul though, but thats nitpicking. I took the challenge of playing hard mode and it is a lot harder than you would expect, especially after being a retro bowl guy, where hard seems like rookie mode, Retro Goal means what they set as difficulty, you barely get 5 seconds on the ball at that point. And business is a big part too, everyone knows soccer, much like the nfl, is a business, its all about the revenue at the end of the day. Every offseason is a budget build because you need that defender so they stop scoring five goals on you every game, but if you get the 4 1/2* one, you wont have enough to buff your forwards, and even then, you might not be able to bring back your youth player that just scored 40 goals, thats what i love about Retro Goal, its not one dimensional and it has so many little parts about it that makes it solid in its SECOND WEEK as a game! A five star was never in doubt.Version: 0.9.1
✓ I can’t find anything wrong with itPerfect game.Version: 0.9.18
✓ Bux System is Bad- Revised After 1 MonthRevised- After playing for about a month, growing a team is achievable in retro goal and the money does start to stack after awhile. My suggestion is not to change teams often, as this causes you to start over and have to spend a lot each time. The game itself is amazing, just like its predecessor. My critiques of it after playing awhile are: 1. No players should cost real money 2. Let us play full court, or stop the AI from just drop kicking the ball every time they get it 3 See below for original review- I come from retro bowl, which is probably my favorite phone game of all time. It’s balanced and growing a team is achievable. Salary cap is a great concept in that game! However, this game is a bit different. The mechanics are the same which I love, but the “Bux” system absolutely ruins the chance at growing a team. You only get like 1500 bucks per season, and that’s not even enough for 2 star players. This seriously needs to be fixed. Either an increase in Bux per game or going to a salary cap option is needed in order to actually grow a team like you can in retro bowl..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Decent but could be improvedReally enjoying playing this but feels almost impossible to make any progress with your team due to money. The amount of money you have seems constantly to be spent on renewing contracts so you can’t buy improved players. If you do buy a player, you’ll soon lose one of your old players as you can’t afford their new contract. It hasn’t yet, but I imagine it will make the game tiresome quite quickly..Version: 0.9.2
✓ RetroGoal shoot and SCORES!RetroGoal is the next sport iteration in the RETRO line of games and it is wonderful. Simplistic gameplay with easy to understand controls and fun franchise mode of play makes it a joy. Pick up and play mechanics make outings in the app quick and easy enabling the ability to play in different iterations and lengths of time. Like it’s predecessor “Retro Bowl”, I expect we’ll see many tweaks and updates to the core gameplay enabling even more depth to the fun while maintaining its simplistic franchise management model. As of now, I can easily endorse this product to all my friends and colleagues! It’s a fun day for soccer/football fans who just want a simple yet satisfying game to accent their passion for the sport..Version: 0.9.2
✓ It’s a good gameIt is fun but I don’t like how you have to buy the full version..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Great game!Not even a soccer fan but decided to give it a shot after Retro Bowl. Love it!.Version: 0.9.9
✓ ReviewRetro goal is one of the best mobile games I have played and I love how fluid the gameplay feels. Some things I think would add to the game is if it were given a little more personality and variety. For example all 5 star players have the same stats for their positions and the only difference between them are their appearance or special traits if they have one. I think it would be beneficial to add a few more stat types to differentiate and make the players more special. Also in game positioning is a bit awkward players just run where you are putting the ball instead of making actual runs like in a real game. It would be a cool addition if players had their own moves when you dribble with them or special celebrations. I also think that it would be easy to instill defense into the game which would be huge in giving the player more of a day with what happens in matches. International soccer and the addition of the word cup would also be another positive to put in. Glory across all leagues is something to strive for but everyone’s dream is to walk away from their career holding a World Cup..Version: 0.9.15
✓ MAKE MORE!!!Make another retro game. I bought both games and there are a blast..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Love it! New star killing it againRetro bowl was so much fun now retro goal is just as fun. Keep it up. Retro hoops next please?.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Worth ItWorth the $1.50. Only thing I can suggest is adding more countries or maybe a World Cup To the career mode..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Very good gameplay, too dependent on in app purchasesI love retro bowl and so was excited for this. The design of the game and the gameplay are great, feel even better than retro bowl. But the ‘bux’ system is clearly set up so you can’t keep players on your team unless you are constantly feeding money into little purchases. At a lower level, I only have 8 players that cost and none of them are particularly great (max out at 4 stars and most of them are only around 2.5) and I’ve gone undefeated for several seasons and I still can’t keep enough ‘bux’ to afford to even just keep them all. Developers deserve to make money, no problem, I just wish more would welcome a bigger initial cost rather than attempting to make us buy over and over and over..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Amazing Game, idk why so many one starsI could play this game for years. What an we’ll put together game. $1.50 is definitely worth it..Version: 0.9.2
✓ Amazing GameI played Retro Bowl which is one of my favourite games, so I am not sure how this would stack up to it. I like it a lot, however not as much as Retro Bowl, not sure how much I like paying real dollars for great players. Other than that the game is 5/5 thus far..Version: 0.9.15
✓ Fun, but not without its problemsGood game, but the player contracts make no sense. It can go from having a full team with >2 years left on their contracts to them all expiring in less than one season! Frustrating and feels like they want to force people to buy coins….Version: 0.9.8
✓ Amazing game, but not flawlessRetro Goal is a fantastic game. As the successor to Retro Bowl, I had high expectations for the game and in many ways, those expectations have been exceeded. However, I do think that the switch from the credits system to the new currency system might not be the best change. The cost of upgrades, contract renewals, etc. seem disproportionately greater than they were in Retro Bowl, and it almost feels like you’re being almost forced to spend real life currency to keep your team afloat.. obviously this is a mobile game so in-game transactions will be important but in Retro Bowl it felt like they weren’t necessary, something I can’t say about Retro Goal.. this is exemplified by the fact that some players in game are only available for purchase with actual money (also it would be nice if the game didn’t practically penalise you for accepting a contract from another team by giving you terrible players and terrible facilities regardless, it doesn’t make sense that accepting a contract from Man Utd would give you awful players, forcing you to have to spend actual money to be able to compete in the Prem, this was also not an issue in Retro Bowl, and thus made it feel a bit more realistic/fair, not incentivising the spending of actual money). It would be nice to see a more balanced in game currency system, but outside of that, I think the game is exemplary, the mechanics are great and it’s really fun, great game..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Retro Bowl for fans of REAL footballFirst things first: You owe it to yourself to plunk down a dollar for the full version. You won’t regret it. New Star Games took what worked for Retro Bowl and applies it near flawlessly to the beautiful game, giving you enough teams and leagues to hold you over for a while even without an official license. The in-match controls only require a couple of games at most to get down pat, and the simple manager interface will still give you a bit to think about: Want to sign that star player that could put your club over the top? You’d better have facilities and a stadium to match if you want to keep him for long. Two thoughts for the developers, which are basically nitpicking in nature but does hold it back from 5 stars: I would love to see a Dynamic difficulty setting a la Retro Bowl (harder if you win, easier if you lose, stable if you draw). Also, Global Championship would REALLY benefit from including regional qualifying, although I do concede that working this in would be a project in itself for NSG. But those are minor issues. If you have any level of interest in the world’s most popular sport, get this game. Period. And consider stop lights to be suggestions..Version: 0.9.21
✓ Great game, great fun butOverall the game plays nice and is fun to play but the one issue is after you’ve completed a season you’ll have the choice to move teams but when you move team you then have to basically start from the beginning it’s not realistic and takes away from the game but again overall it’s fun and addicting.Version: 0.9.1
✓ The perfect mobile football gameFor me, at least. I don’t have time to play a full career mode on fifa etc so I’ve always wanted a game were I can dip in and out of matches rather than play the whole thing, and to be able to play abbreviated seasons. When I saw it was from New Star it was a no brainer. It’s every bit as good as their other games - a hybrid of NSS, Retro Bowl and NS manager (without the card bits). Can’t recommend it highly enough. Insta buy if you like football or NSS I’m terms of feedback, I’d like to see: Player contracts tuned a bit to be longer (or transfer windows added) - mid season expiry & retirement is a bit weird A kit/player name editor International management Cloud saves.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Solid, New Star keeps up their reputation, some small recommendations though :)Overall really nice game. Can’t comment on a whole lot because I’m not too deep into it. One thing I can mention is that the UI is fantastic, maybe even better than Retro Bowl’s UI. I do have a few small recommendations though, a few changes that hopefully wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. The first is custom naming. A feature Retro Bowl already has, you could make it only available to full version buyers. But it would be nice to customize the names of your players The other is custom appearances. This would include access to the full range of preset faces, and the ability to select one for each player. Also, maybe adding in an option for custom shoes (nothing too complicated, just a single color), might make players more recognizable on the pitch :) Overall, still a great game, those small changes would make it even better!.Version: 0.9.1
✓ If you loved retro bowlIf you loved retro bowl you’ll love this game regardless of whether you’re a soccer/football fan or not!.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Please make a cricket game like thisHello. Please make a cricket game! Your interface would be absolutely perfect for a cricket version of the game. It would be massively popular I’m sure.Version: 0.9.11
✓ Controls don’t work as well as bowlCould be another banger like retro bowl (likely my fav mobile game ever) but the similar controls scheme to bowl just doesn’t work nearly as well in this one. It ends up getting very frustrating. I think an actual on screen button control scheme would benefit this game greatly. While still keeping some of the touch parts such as shooting and even passing, it’s mostly movement that’s super frustrating and could benefit greatly from a d pad and maybe a sprint button. Oh also the money system seems to lean much more towards having to spend actual money vs retro bowl where you don’t really need to at all, it seems like it’s much harder to get coins in goal and/or everything seems to cost much more, it seems like it’ll take a ton of work and/or actual money to get good players and that’s a put off as well..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Heaps of funThis game is heaps of fun and takes me back to the computer version I played as a kid..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Please add some work on defenseSo much potential in this game, just one important suggestion, please let users can enjoy more on the defense side, otherwise those 532 defense formations will become useless, this game advertises as experience the 90’s football, but you can’t even enjoy the 90’s football tactics. Love this game but can be better..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Possible New Features!With a game this entertaining and simple the only thing holding you back is imagination! Here are ideas that may provide interesting and even beneficial features to the game. This will be edited as others send me new ideas and new concepts. (Stars indicate most wanted features) -Long sleeve jerseys -Gloves (possibly wrist tape even) *-Choose who takes the set pieces (FKs, PKs, Corners) *-New celebrations -More crowd audio (Boos when fouls are made, crowd jeering as you get closer to goal) -Crowd can be animate and just bounce up and down along the stands -Goalkeepers should not just stand still during penalties, they should have an animation to try and confuse you -Potentially different penalty POV like in FIFA -Trophy raising cutscene with your team after winning a title or other competitions *-Choosing a team captain -During opposing teams possession there will be cutscenes or short animations of how they scored instead of a brief summary (this cutscene can skipped) -Opposing AI teams will have their own star players -Individual player awards (most goals scored in a season, most assists made, most saves, player of the season) ^ (These players can also be in competition with other AI players from other teams with generated stats THAT AREN’T OUTLANDISH).Version: 1.0.0
✓ Really nice game, needs some additions. MUST PLAYJUST SO YOU KNOW: Offline and online game. Must pay for full version after 10 games (1$). Easy to learn controls. Simple and fun. This is probably one of the best mobile football (soccer) games I have played on mobile, it is offline compatible which I LOVE a tip for new players, the game is free, but after 10 games you are forced to buy the full version (1$). Some aspects of the game confuse me such as the yellow flag above a player, does that mean they are offside? I’m not sure. If you could put some sort of dictionary for everything that would be really nice! Suggestions: I think it would be nice for new players to add an option to buy the unlimited version+ an amount of gold, for a reasonable price, so that people get get the full version AND some extra gold (or money or whatever the currency is 😂) But still have the option to buy just the full version. Another suggestion is; as the game becomes more popular and such, I think it would be very fun to be able to play defense, instead of it just saying “chance missed” whenever it goes past half field. Thank you for making this game, I love both this game and retro bowl. I hope the developers can make more of these games! If the developers could read this and respond to this I would be very happy! 😃 From, your #1 fan (probably not #1 but still up there).Version: 0.9.21
✓ Advice from former retro video game dev on online websitesHere’s some advice I been successful in these types of games before like Minecraft to scratch but here’s some advice that will help you Number one you should update the game more often like monthly so you can assure you can always address issues quicker and you should update a league when the season end like update the Japan league when the teams get relegated or promoted and two you should add a name editor and you should had eufa but you can rename it to something like Europe championship or something. Finally add Central American leagues adding Latin American leagues will help cause Hispanics are one of the largest ethnic groups and the largest in both north and South America so adding more leagues can appeal to those countries also you should add more Arab and Asian teams to appease those ethnic groups too don’t forgot bout Africa also add Ukraine for obvious reasons cause we stand with Ukraine from a former retro game dev.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great game but its missing somethingWould love to see national teams and the world cup. Also i wish switching teams didnt give you a bad team and you actually didnt start with bad players.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Solid gameplay, well thought out executionAs someone who lived RetroBowl for a while, the dive into RetroGoal was intuitive and filled with curiosity. I’m not a soccer fan by any means, so the mechanics and logistics allowed me to learn the ins and outs of successful strategies on my own at the introductory difficulty level. While there have been more visible purchase elements than RetroBowl, I haven’t felt like the game would necessitate buying players or additional BUX to have a fulfilling experience. It is a slow process to 100% complete the game, but I find that it’s not the route I want to go. I’m thrilled to pick up a match every now and then, and sometimes more than I should. I’ve learned quite a bit about the international soccer scene and I attribute it to the labor of love the developers have put in. RetroGoal is worth whatever you put in, whether you’re a novice or a completionist..Version: 0.9.2
✓ FunIncredibly good time waster could play for hours!.Version: 0.9.9
✓ EnjoyableVery fun and enjoyable game with no ads. The only reason I’m not rating it higher is because you have to pay to unlock the full game..Version: 0.9.9
✓ These retro games are greatI’m loving retro bowl and am just starting to play retro soccer and would love it even more if you made an Australian rule football retro game.. idk just think that would be great.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Good Game, a couple of suggestions.I have yet to play too long and already, this game is one of the best games I have played in a while on mobile. It’s easy to learn and fun once you get used to it. A peeve of mine though is that some basic features are locked behind a paywall, it is annoying but regardless Medium difficult is still fun. I do feel some things could be added to improve the game’s content however. I recommend explaining what Traits are to the normal player. The Information button on the are only displays the information I already know, some are self explanatory but traits like “Red Mist” are very vague. I feel like consequences for decisions you make at the end of a round would be a good addition to the game. Take for example if you lose the match and a player is seen as playing poor, if you continuously defend them they could potentially grow to be worse due to lack of criticism. However if you do the opposite their moral will become so low that they might have the ability to break the contract or get more yellow and red cards. If you don’t address the fans at all if you win you may begin losing them for example. Or if you continuously refuse talking to the Chairman he will eventually do something about it. Just an idea of course. While this is more of a “It would be cool if…” than a you should. I think some customisability would be cool. Take for example being able to change the colour of the menu screen or being able to change the team member’s name..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Time fillerIt a fantastic game all round just love it.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Needs a updateThe game very amazing 👍👍🏻 but you guys need to add a custom teams set where you can edit teams and make your own like retro bowl ok hope you get it.Version: 0.9.11
✓ Great gameVery fun game. Worth the download and the upgrade.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Great gameplayHi, I love the gameplay in this. It’s one of the most fun sports games to play in my opinion. Some suggestions I have for improvement is to have a stats page where you can see player stats side by side instead of one at a time. Also, it would be simpler to have the contract length of a player written out as time remaining on contract and not by year and month. I also wish that the auto-pick feature weighted condition level higher when picking the starters, but it’s still a good feature in general. Also, a budget screen would be helpful for season-long planning because it can be easy to get caught out and forget that a players contract is coming to an end after spending money on the stadium or training..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Great game with some issues(Note this is on version 1.0.0) The game is great in my opinion, it’s pretty polished and I’ve not found a bug or glitch so far, the mechanics are simple and pretty easy to understand. However, there are some issues with the game, such as prices of players, on average, I made about like 80 but a game the first season,p enough to buy and retain players and get promoted from champ to prem the next season, a play that would’ve costed 360 bux was 800, it’s annoying and is quite unrealistic. But overall a great game.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great game but is definitely pay to winRenewing players contract who are worth 50 coins for like 750 coins is near impossible, how when 4 players run out are you supposed to pay so much to renew them I don’t know. Other than that the game is great but at one point I had 12 players and now I have 4 players because I just didn’t have the funds to renew them and play the game.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Easy to learn and very addictive!!Love the retro graphics as well!.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Why do I have to pay for such a great game?The game and it’s fundamentals are really fun and strategic, it’s something I enjoy very much. Why do I only get 11 games before I have to pay though? Retro Bowl was free all the way through and that’s a very similar game. Anyway, really fun game. Give it a go..Version: 0.9.3
✓ BEST MOBILE SOCCER GAMEThis game has every team imaginable, from the premier league, to MLS, to even national teams. I play this game every day and never get bored. The controls are very fresh and there’s even better “expert” controls that help you make more accurate shots and passes. I only have one suggestion. This year they changed the kits for every team but only for new careers . I have an old one though and I would like to see the new kits for Chelsea and this is very disappointing. As a hardcore fan I feel after every season ( in game )you should have an update/ refresh where even old accounts get their new kits. I have grown very fond of my players and hope you consider this feedback Thanks - Brent.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Uhhh… New star? You are Insane!!!This game is great. Im just gonna say that right now. It is probably one of the most fun games i have ever played. First of all, it’s retro soccer so it already has 3 stars. Then it just gets better. The gameplay just gets better and better as they update the game. You can’t really get bored playing it and it’s fully ad free. (No, the other new star games ad’s don’t count because you can x out immediately.) With the new control scheme of expert it just seems like you have full control and it’s great. The tutorial is quick but good and you can play this game anywhere. Online or offline. I do have 1 complaint tho. Some days the game is laggy for no reason and it just slows the pace of it down too much but this is pretty rare. Oh and if you want to contact them you tend to get an answer within 2 days which is amazing. Okay Byeeee!!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fun to play and easy to pick upThis game is really easy to get to grips with and is great to play in short bursts. I’ve enjoyed it and it’s similar to football games I played on early consoles. My only gripe is sometimes the AI comes back at you a bit hard and you can lose a decent lead without any opportunity to score back!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Really enjoying this!Played the first 10 games and just paid to unlock the full game. I'm really enjoying this with the elements of slowly building the team with new players, the controls during the match. Really addictive and fun!.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Amazing GameThe game gave me a really long time to review it and see if I was certain to buy the full version. I thoroughly enjoyed the free trial and when it came to and end I was shocked by the low price of the full edition and instantly purchased it This game is worth every penny definitely get it.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Amazingly addictive as usualNew star games never fail to impress, been playing since the early days of new star soccer and every game has been a banger, this one is definitely up there with my favourites, can’t wait to see what else this one can bring!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Great gameWas hard at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s really fun to play.Version: 0.9.6
✓ GamesEverything very expensive but fun.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Great time killerFirst off, this developer has proven very consistent once again. Like retro bowl before it, this game is a great way to kill some time like if you’re at school or some other place. Gameplay is fluid and complex yet also simple at the same time. Despite being a completely different sport, this game is similar to retro bowl as far as team management goes and is even improved in several areas. Graphics are improved and there are so many team options to explore and so many things to win. My only criticism is the demo system for the base game where you can only play ten games before you have to pay, but if you have a dollar it a a worthwhile purchase to play the game forever afterwards..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Almost perfectCreated an amazing team with Coventry. Got promoted and in my second season I won the cup and came second in the league. The season after I lost half my team due to contracts being really expensive. Games are constantly high scoring, which is unrealistic but then again it’s not a proper simulation game. Would be cool if you could see the player stats for other teams and the top goal scorers of the league. International tournaments and adding a best player in the world trophy would be the cherry on top. However, this is a really good game for 99p and the creators know how to make constantly amazing mobile games. Would love to see this type of game done with other sports as well..Version: 0.9.9
✓ Great game but could be improvedOverall this is a very good game and is very fun, but could be improved to make it even better. I found that the morale system is a bit broken, if you are winning most of your games your morale will be pretty much always 100 and if you are losing a lot of games your morale will always be really low, for me I had a few bad seasons and after that it was really hard to get morale above 10% even though I was winning pretty much every game, which results in a ton of red cards which is really annoying. Morale should be more balanced. The opponent also shouldn’t be able to score 2 goals back to back without getting the ball once. It seems like the way the money system works that if you are losing a lot of games then you won’t get much money an you’ll keep getting worse. There’s pretty much no point playing on that difficulty if you are losing more games than winning. However other than this it is a very good game and I would recommend..Version: 0.9.15
✓ QualityReally good.Version: 0.9.8
✓ OkGreat game but not worth $17 it saids the premium version is $1.99 but they take $17.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Great fun.Interesting onfield play combined with light managerial gameplay, and great retro vibes. Just what anyone who wants to stay away from the FUT environment needs..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Very goodVery well made game, having heaps of fun.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Very good but does need a few adjustmentsThis game is very entertaining to play, though it is a little broken at times (like fast players being able to run through the whole opposition). I think a few adjustments are necessary outside the actual gameplay 1. Adding more accurate competitions Some stuff like a playoff for the last champions league place, or no Europa league equivalent could be added to improve the game. 2. More interaction with the owner. The owner should be the sole decision maker for how much money you have. There should be certain owner traits like rich (more money available), stingy (less money available), or maybe a local v foreign split which could affect the fan rating. Also at the new season, there should be a new refreshed budget, instead of simply a carryover from the last year. 3. The transfer system needs a few adjustments I like the fact that it’s harder to run a profit in this game compared to retro bowl, especially because of how hard it is in real life to run a lower division side, meaning less money to spend on players. For the players in the transfer market, there should be a club that they are from, like when a specific club tries to buy one of your players. Also a transfer window is necessary and contract and transfer negotiations should exist..Version: 0.9.3
✓ Good gameplay, but not worth the monetizationI was excited to try out this game as i love retro bowl. It is truly one of the best sports games on mobile. However, when I downloaded the app i was very disappointed to see the attempt to monetize the app. Although the fee isn’t large it is still an obvious cash grab. Retro bowl is perfect with its Premium that you can pay for and it gives Free To Play players an option to enjoy the game without spending pocket money. I gave the review four stars because although the game was an obvious attempt to get cash to the devs, i truly enjoyed the game with the 10 free games i got to play. The gameplay was immersive and i enjoyed the game a lot! Don’t make the mistake of throwing away an opportunity for a great game with a big audience by monetizing the game with a paywall. The game has so much opportunity so it is truly a mistake to make players pay for the whole game..Version: 0.9.11
✓ Amazing gameI love this game and Retro Bowl. The concept of it is amazing and addicting. I bought the premium purchases on both games I just wished that Retro Goal would allow us to edit the players name and appearances etc etc. Also being able to sim games would be an absolute perfect game. Props to Retro Bowl having those attributes. Both lovely games.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Two thumbs upThis is a top notch game, which is well worth the dollar or two it costs to upgrade to the full version. I have been a big fan of Retro Bowl, and this game is a great crossover to soccer. Thank you for your hard work, your games are extremely enjoyable to play. (Please do hockey next! 😁).Version: 0.9.2
✓ Great start, looking forward to updatesAmazing start to this game, brings the fun and ease of play seen in Retro Bowl and I love how similar it is. Has a great variety of leagues and teams to play. Love the ability to play a half season as well to progress through the years quicker. Fear it sort of over complicates itself though at some points. Also I find it much harder to build a strong side compared to Bowl as in bowl the draft works to assist weaker teams, in this you struggle to earn money or sign players and playing on harder difficulties is somewhat depressing when you lose every game with a pathetic squad. The disparity between difficulties is also fairly high, on medium I am currently top of the Premier League in my third season with Derby with no stat higher than 3 stars, yet with almost the same squad on hard I could hardly manage a win in the championship. Looking forward to a data editor and a dynamic difficult or just fixed difficulty settings..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Great football gameThis game is new so … somethings need a tweak such so corners and crossing from the top down to the penalty spot, however it’s really entertaining and gets you hooked right away. Lots of countries and lower divisions to chose from and you can build your team your way with them tactics and formations which actually make a difference. I’d watch this closely as if it’s anything like retro bowl it’s going to be updated regularly and it’s going to be huge!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Good game that needs minor featuresLet the chance loss be more lenient instead of losing your chance because the npc headed the ball into your half with no opponents near it, especially if the defense part of the game is just text. Add little animation and maybe some slow mo to let the replays look a little more cinematic. Add a either a skill wheel or hand gestures for individual skills the you can unlock the higher level your player is. also maybe let us customize how translucent the shot landing mark is because it’s kinda hard to see it in the net. Finally, maybe let the user be able to make wagers with other teams like how other teams can wager them..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Retro games ruleGreat game, was a fan of retro bowl but I think I enjoy this more than that.Version: 0.9.9
✓ Amazing game with high potential but one slight problemAll out I think this is an absolutely wonderful game to play besides the fact you have to pay to continue, why? IMO I think to see people who can’t get it or simply disallowed by parents or others. I love the game but that one thing keeps me from playing it every day every week every month every year..Version: 0.9.9
