1st&Goal App Reviews

This game is fantastic! The complaints about graphics are silly. They look sharp and are cards and dice, not the full motion action of a madden-like video game. The translation from boardgame to ios is superb and a lot of fun!

This review is geared towards those who already have the board game. It is a faithful rendition of the game. Like other reviewers, I take issue with the dice disappearing. Plus sometimes I notice the dice change numbers. The AI taking forever to make a decision. Personally the main thing that is lacking is the ability to go back and see what plays have been called. That is something that ought to be easy to look at trends in opponent’s play calls. I hope in the future these issues can be rem

This game is a complete guessing game. There are no real football odds for plays, so strategy doesn't really work. 3rd and 25? The AI calls a run defense. There just doesn't seem to be any thought besides random for the computer calls. I love it otherwise, though we need stat tracking and a leaders page for season play.

Good game like the board game. Needs patch which fixes the app crashing if podcast is playing.

They did a great job translating the board game to iOS! I love the graphics of the plays and it computer can put up a decent challenge. The only thing stopping it from being a 5 star game is lack of online play, I hope future updates at it.

The base game is really solid. Dies a good job simulating football. The IAP should be include IMO. The game also needs some update. The game and results feels slow and I wish they were faster. The game also needs a forfeit or concede option in season mode. Riding a game out to the end when you are getting blown out or up by a ton is dull.

The only issue I have is when playing the game on my 5th gen iPod, I have a hard time reading the cards and seeing the play on the field. A zoom feature would be nice. :)

Great football strategy board game; I'm not a big fan of IAPs, but this game is even better with the expansion card sets. Definitely worth the $$$.

I had rated this game 4 stars but i must lower the rating after the last update. Yes online was added but the overhaul of the graphics making everything so small to see was a HUGE mistake!

Initially it felt a lot like luck based rock/paper/scissors but then as I began use the slight variations of the defenses and offenses and I purchased and expansion the game became more enjoyable. Still this is an abstraction of football but accounting for that it has become a very fun app to play.

For the people who say it's too simple- once you get a few games played, you'll learn there's a lot more depth to the game if you pay attention to the details of the play cards. It's weak on the content side, as the cards and plays available to you are pretty limited unless you buy the IAP. For $5 you should get more of the teams from the IAP, otherwise all the teams feel the same.
