This game has a nice learning curve so far. The basic controls are very simple and easy to memorise, and when you inevitably fuck up it’s usually hilarious. At the same time, it is satisfying to start mastering some of the more advanced (though still relatively basic) mechanics and pulling off through balls between defenders or feints that create space. The three different game modes (3v3, 4v4, 5v5) feel like a nice progression too, as space inevitably gets tighter with more players on the pitch which forces you to make quicker decisions. I wasn’t sure if having prior experience playing the sport would help or hinder but so far it definitely feels like the former. The biggest issues so far seem to be the netcode and the matchmaking time (quite long in SEA and Oceania).
