Great idea with mediocre implementation – Tiki Taka Soccer Review

The idea behind the game is great, both in the gameplay mechanic of tapping and swiping to pass and shoot. The issues are two fold: 1. The AI is subpar. Too often I’ve given up a goal because defenders are in poor position and simply end up running behind the opponent for 30 yards rather than moving in a realistic way to close them down. No real defender runs at an opponent in a straight line. 2. The tapping is not always responsive enough. Not sure if it’s the size of the players but too many times I’ve tried passing the ball and the player in possession just doesn’t respond. And the registering of the “hold” to play a through ball is hit-or-miss. I enjoyed my time with the game, but these issues are getting unbearable and I’m only half a season in. If they could fix them it would be great
