Quite Disappointed

[OgOopsDaddyDidIt]

Wow I was so excited to play this, brought back so many memories... But for me they missed the mark... Yes its updated graphics wise, has very similiar mechanics... But when you are legit losing all of your players in the first quarter because the AI uses every special they have... Kinda zaps the fun away... The controls feel off. I am glad I tried this before I wasted money.. Get the game if you want some old memories back, but I do not suggest buying this. I want a challenge not to be rapped from the gate. Forget having a strategy, because the AI knows every move before you make it. IMO wait till they hopefully balance the game out, because atm there really isnt anyway to read your opponent, until they boom use their special and have already crushed everyone... Dang had high hopes for this!!!

It sounds like you just need more practice. You can always use Dirty Tricks of your own to even the score.

You can also change options to make the experience easier, such as:

• Karnage Level - The lower this is, the less damage players will take and the less aggressive the AI will be after the play.
  
• Resurrection - Turn this on, and your players will be revived the next play if they die.
  
• Difficulty - If the AI is just plain beating you in the game of football, consider lowering this.

You can even turn off Dirty Tricks all-together if they bother you too much.

Once you're used to the game and understand how to use your own Dirty Tricks (including the ref bribery) you can beat the crap out of the AI. Believe me, it can be done! Don't give up!

It's understandable that some players will feel like this starting out. The game can feel challenging for those starting out, and some players won't be able to handle the feeling of facing an opponent that seems unfair, until they eventually get the hang of things. With so many games on steam, not everyone will have the patience to spend a day or two to reach that feeling of accomplishment.For example, I've known people who didn't like rocket league because they couldn't hit the ball right away. If you got the demo, feel free to look at my tips on here if you ever wanna try again. I'm always open to helping new players. I'd totally
reccommend trying, once you get to a certain skill level, you just wanna keep climbing higher and finding new ways to beat opponents. Especially when you do find a competitor online. Hope we can get another tournament going one day.

Fun fun fun...not at all disappointed.

I was like you but the more you play the better you get, you will figure out how to attack and defend better, and of course use different settings when your starting out, like try are easier difficulty, and lower the karnage level also turn dirty tricks off if it annoys you.

Don't give up on it, its alot of fun once you start getting better at the game.

Thanks all for the positive comments.. not just straight bashing me lol... I'll give it another shot.....Wasnt aware of the turning off dirty tricks ect... thanks again.

play two games on the demo was able to have some back and forth action like i did on blitz the league a few years back, it's not that hard since it's an arcade game. Now you should clearly lower the difficulty or use a strong team against low level to begin with, it help understand the mechanics and some of the field hazard

[Saylis]

Yeah I didnt like losing because I ran out of QB's so I turned that off.

[Tired of your crap]

This is too much like Blitz with deaths for me to be interested. Would prefer something closer to actual football over this 7v7 mayhem. It's just a boring clone of blitz.

Considering Mutant League Football came way before Blitz, and Blitz took lots of ideas from MFL, this is not a "boring clone of blitz".

I'd rather have exactly what I've been playing, a solid Mutant Football League game in the spirit of Mutant League Football. It's fast, it's fun, and it can get pretty furious. I'd never have bought a 'actual' football game.

Yeah, MLF did fast-paced, violent, 7-on-7 football long before Blitz ever did. Also, did you just call this game a BORING clone? This game is zanier and more creative than Blitz EVER was!

That being said, you can still slow the game down and take out a lot of the violence if you want something more "normal."

Just lower the game speed, turn off the Karnage Level, turn on Resurrection, turn off Dirty Tricks, and there you have it... a death-less football game with no shenanigans besides the field hazards!

OP, when was the last time you played Mario? Any of them you played back in the day. How did it feel? If you're like me, hard as *&%@! I didn't jump right into this without learning the controls, and I still don't feel like I have it all down, so I lowered the difficulty, modified the settings, and am settling in nicely. I plan on upping the difficulty as I get used to the game, and will eventually settle on a sweet spot, which may be too easy for some, but to hell with them, I'm interested in my enjoyment, not theirs.

If you play online (I don't) then there may be difficulty restrictions I'm not aware of, or lack of opponents at your chosen settings, but for single player I am happily surprised with the difficulty options, and the inclusion of a practice mode is a bonus as well.

If it's not for you, that's fair, we're all different, but I see a game that reflects my memories of the original better than most remakes of the same time period, and more customization for difficulty than I expected based on other remakes.

Absolutely disappointed as well: I came here looking for football and guess what? Handegg! Damn americans!

[icED-e@RtH]

Wow some of you just want plan old football, this is something that spices up a normal football/sport game (which you can get almost anywhere), IMO this is way more fun then normal football.
