How it feels

Active Soccer 2023 feels like a fast, responsive retro arcade football game with a deep career progression and local multiplayer mayhem.

What players say

Players praise the manual control and freedom of movement, comparing it favorably to early Pro Evolution Soccer games and saying it beats FIFA. However, they criticize shallow career mode, missing player ages, poor defending AI, and one player flagged use of undisclosed generative AI. Opinions split on depth, with some finding it fun for a few matches and others saying it lacks replay value.
