Once you get to a certain skill level, the game becomes complete luck. I've been playing for a few hours but you can hit the ball against the same defense the same way several times, and you'll still be out through sheer randomness. Seems like the game could award skill much better.
Since you transfer between offense and defense instantaneously, having the tackle and throw buttons being the same is a fatal flaw. Oh, you suddenly got the ball? Well you thought you were trying to tackle, so now the ball is over there! Make the buttons separate, please.
Should be changed to "Bad Beat Poker." The river is juiced like crazy, I guess to make the game "more exciting." Having players (and I've benefited many times as well) constantly catch their flush or straight on the river is completely unrealistic. I see it happen 4-5 times per 6-handed tournament. Just isn't what happens in real life, but I guess they figure this appeals more to the novice crowd.
