Hi all,

Long-time lurker of football gaming communities, first-time poster here. I'm Giovanni, one of the two developers of Global Football, and I'd rather be upfront: this is my own game, I'm here for honest feedback from people who actually care about football games, not to spam a link and disappear.

What it is
An online football game where every outfield player on the pitch is a real person. You don't control a team, you control one athlete – think Pro Clubs / the old NetSoccer and World of Soccer, but built from scratch as its own game. Matches are 5v5 with AI goalkeepers.

It is not trying to be a PES or FC-style simulation. It's closer to a fast small-sided game where positioning, passing lanes and calling for the ball decide matches, because nobody can do it alone.

What's in it right now
  • 5v5 online, one human per player, AI keepers
  • Power-bar shooting and passing, high and low shots, driven passes, slide tackles
  • Ranked mode with MMR – the queue closes 5v5, 4v4 or 3v3 depending on how many people are searching, so matches actually start
  • Training rooms where bots fill the empty slots (players can vote them out)
  • Teams/clubs, friends, text and voice chat
  • Cross-play between PC (Steam), Android and iOS
  • Servers in South America, Europe and North America
  • Free to play, cosmetics only – no pay-to-win, no stats for sale

Where it's at, honestly
It left Early Access a few days ago. The community is small – most players are in Brazil, and European evenings are still quiet, which is exactly why I'm posting here. If a few of you jump in at the same time you'll get a proper match; alone at an odd hour you'll mostly meet bots.

What I'd love to hear from you
  • How do passing and shooting feel compared to what you expect from a football game?
  • Is the first 10 minutes (tutorial → first match) clear, or did you get lost?
  • What would make you come back for a second session?
Blunt is fine. We're two people and we ship fixes fast – several of last week's changes came straight from player feedback.

If enough people here are interested I'm happy to set up an Evo-Web evening on the EU server so you can play together instead of against bots. Just say so in the thread.

Thanks for reading,
Giovanni
