Mutant League Football 2 Preview Cons:

No Steam achievements.
Cannot remap controls for the controller.
Doesn’t have online play yet.
So many menus show greyed-out options like training camp, Dynasty mode, etc.
The AI is always really good at avoiding tackles and using abilities a lot.
Sometimes it’s hard to make out what’s going on.
There are no league or player-creation tools in the game.
No way to save clips and replays.
Limited camera options.
Stamina doesn’t come back until after the play.
Uses the same item intro scenes.
Feels like it’s just the one stadium.
Hazards on the pitch can make it feel like luck is against you a lot of the time.
So many times you can do nothing to an opponent to stop them.
The Ai is very cheap.
Getting hit looks crap in places like they hit a certain hit point and trigger the cutscene.
It just feels a bit unbalanced and hit detection is bad.
