Ummmm… Wow. I think Rovio is going a bit too far with the movie look.
Still though, a soccer game might be kinda nice.
Seriously… they are scrapping their classic designs… i love the movie but this is going to far
Tried play for 10 minutes but not my cup of tea, so i’ll skip this game.
I’m getting tired of this soft-launch crap.
A new sports game is a good idea, but football is not my favorite, I hope they make basketball version or badminton..
I hope for this just to be a mini-game in a bigger game called ‘Angry Birds Sport’ or something. As you said, not many people like football, but basketball and tennis may be a good addition.
I also hope its not a very big game, What I meant was, the game itself is 40 MB..
Total space is 116 mb @sonnykero
I think that it is necessary sincerely time to abandon the ship …
Then Rovio will understand maybe, when they will have lost all their fans from the very beginning, when they chose a bad way …
Yeah, rather than updating older games for new levels, they create an entirely new game to promote their company.
I like the game already :)
I’m in the 5th league right now, there are some little things that needs to be polished, but the idea is good.
I think it can be a great success if they add more options, like composing your own teams, adding competitions of different country’s etc.
Oh come on! What about an ABSW 3? :C
Well this is the pattern now. They launch a new game, gets some updates for few months and then for 2-3 years nothing happens to it but just very few modifications, then it dies!
@mighty-red-1 Can you Play Angry Birds Ace Fighters ? The server has shut down.
@filipersr Nope, unable to play it for quite a while now – the server issue is yet to go away.
what happen to the severs? i am now hearing this for the first time?
still waiting for AB Harry Potter *files nails*
I think I can safely say that this is the first Angry Birds game I will not be playing, mainly because I’ve never been interested in sports at all. I might watch some Let’s Plays of it now and then, but I won’t be playing it.
Hmmm, already the only thing which triggered this game is desire to play New Star Soccer. Same game, just more developed, has less bugs and gives much more fun.
Oh, another new game, when they cannot get the previously issued game presented correctly…what other new procedure is new at Rovio…dahhhhhhhh.
i wonder who did the voice of gale, dahlia and poppy in the angry birds movie?
Football is just so much better in the real world that I will pass (pun intended) this one…
Btw Finland is one of the soft launch countries.
Malaysia too, but I can’t test it cause it’s not compatible on my phone. *sigh
@mighty-red-1 Angry Birds Goal! is also soft-launched on iOS at May 4th.
This is not the kind of angry birds game I used to playing as a kid. I am serious thhough where are the slingshot and wacky looking buildings with pigs making funny noises. Man this does not feels like a rovio game at all.
This game is becoming my third favorite AB game!
So cool !
I wish it will have more features in the future
Different strokes for different folks I guess. This may be the first AB game I do not even try.
i like how their making games with the movie birds, Angry Birds Goal and with the classic birds,Angry Birds Sky Fighters.Coooollllll
It’s not available ?
