The game is going for a Rocket League-like approach from the arena to the atmosphere and presentation.
Online leaderboards for – overall rank, blocks, games won, goals scored, assists, and steals.
Five characters (paid DLC) to choose from, and each has unique abilities and customisation options.
Daily and weekly quests for EXP rewards.
You have an overall player level that you rank up.
Quick and easy invite system for the game, and uses the same layout that Apex Legends and Fortnite use.
There is a Where’s the ball button that, upon pressing, highlights the ball.
Abilities allow over-the-top shots with a super-powered up ability special move that has an aiming reticule and everything.
The game is more arcade than anything else.
I like that shooting isn’t just pressing or holding a button to set power, it’s a power-up one, but it can go up and down, meaning you can do loads and then fluff it.
AI matches in practice do give EXP, hardly any, but they give some.
The game is a better experience with friends, but even then, it’s tough.
Great character models and animations.
Watching someone who can master the controls and do all the air juggling and that does look pretty cool.
One thing it has that games should use is that he ball at kickoff has a jet that puts it into play, now as the countdown goes down, the jet moves, meaning the ball could drop in many different areas.
There is something here, but the controls need some serious work to make it more approachable and give us reasons to want to come back.

Football Heroes League Preview Cons

The game is slow to boot up, even on an SSD.
Hero coins are the premium real money currency you can buy for Customisable options and emotes.
The prices of items for real money are way too high. Outfits are like 7 pounds each, and they are not all that great for the money.
The real money is all in dollars until it hits the Steam store part of the transactions.
Aiming your shot is not fast and fluid; it’s way too sensitive even after adjusting the setting, and it just doesn’t feel right.
The camera cannot keep up with the action at all.
There is no real hook to keep playing and level up; it’s just skins, and that’s it.
Matchmaking times can vary, but it’s always been on the slower side.
You cannot remap the controls.
Learning to play takes a lot of getting used to, as to be good, you have to learn about trapping the ball, then holding down a control button so the ball stays with you, and then you can shoot, and that’s a whole other ball game with that.
No way to call for a pass or anything with AI or just by giving shout-outs.
