REAL FOOTBALL

REAL FOOTBALL is the latest in the Gameloft series of mobile soccer games, and this one takes a profound shift in a new direction for the franchise. The game reverts to extremely basic graphics compared to some of the older versions of the software, however this allows the app to take up less space on your Android device while running much more smoothly than older, more graphically intensive versions.

This version also forgoes the official licenses, which allows the players to focus more on the gameplay and less on the team structure. The focus of this version is on the gameplay itself. Players can change the power of their passes and shots, perform long passes, sprint, and even manually switch between characters. This gives the player a great deal of freedom to do the plays that will earn them the most points.

Players who are familiar with the classic FIFA titles will certainly recognize the similarities in this game. In order to add new players to your team, you must buy envelopes for those players, and there are multiple game modes that allow the player to test out many different combinations of players.

It is certainly true that fans of the older versions of REAL FOOTBALL might be disappointed in this new version since it has changed so much from the older iterations, but that doesn't change the fact that this game is incredibly entertaining and great for quick, short sessions of mobile gameplay. The gameplay is so addictive that players will find themselves trying to perfect their skills so they can master the game.
