The verdict
A realistic, well-animated football sim with strong offline play and Master League, held back by missing licenses and dead online. Skip it if you want online or hate scripted-feeling AI.
Great for
Offline players who want realistic football and Master League and don't mind installing mods for licenses
Main risk
Online servers are gone and the AI feels scripted, with dumb teammates and bad referees
