There was over 100 people online at the same time. Now when the time has passed, there's barely 10 players online at the same time. I hope this game would get more active players.Well, it's still a great game to play offline and especially if you have a friend to play with in multiplayer.. I want to recommend this game, but I can't. I want to LIKE this game, but I can't.A deep, rich strategic experience in a novel format (i.e. future sportsball)? Practically auto-sold on this game. After playing through the tutorial, I get the basics of how to plan turns and such, so I move on to the Basic League.Here's the thing, though: this game does a terrible job of explaining itself. I know how to move my bots, but not why I should. It takes me a couple games before I realize that the goal of the game is less "get the ball in the end zone," and more "figure out what your opponent isn't going to expect or counter, and do that," but I STILL don't know how to reliably gauge what are good options or plays. Half the time it feels like whatever I simulated during the Planning Phase doesn't work out -- bots don't block like I expect them to, or (more importantly) chase the ball carrier like I expect them to. The bots have half a dozen stats that aren't even mentioned in the game tutorial\/help (nor shown in the tabular Free Agent view). I still don't know what the hell "Halt" does.Undeterred, I move on to the regular League, hoping that will give me more options for managing my team between games. But then I discover that I have the worst bots in the GCL, and my salary cap goes up by a paltry few hundred dollars per win while the free agents' "expected" salary shoots up by over a thousand dollars per game week. So, I'm basically stuck with my starting lineup of losers and mostly-losers, facing off against teams with all green (positive) stats -- my bot tackled an enemy bot who literally shrugged it off and walked past because his RESIL was maxed. I'm playing a game that appears to be about outmaneuvering\/out-thinking an enemy when I am unable to estimate the outcome of a play and don't even really know which plays are good ones, AND my guys are the worst bots in the League? The only way out appears to be to grind losses until I get better at understanding how to make the best plays possible with my awful lineup, and after 15 losses I don't think I want to play anymore.I think part of this could be made better if there was a better strategy guide to the game, but I didn't see anything like it online. There was a section of Mode7's forums devoted to Frozen Cortex, but there was nothing useful there. It's a shame, the game seems like it has a great depth of strategy to it, but it's too obfuscated and inaccessible to new players.. Its like SpeedBall with robots at a rave, But British so everyone waits their turn.. Game seemed OK. Took a few hours til I mostly won easy standalone missions.Tried single player campaign. Mostly won the first few. Then it seems impossible. Can't improve players stats. Cant figure out how to earn money to buy better players. The other teams are faster, tougher, stunned for less time etc. Then its not possible to win. The interface is confusing and no guides or docs exist. uninstalled.Forums are dead. No support.. Super fun, super addictive. Graphics are enchanting, and the commentators are absolutely hilarious. Gameplay rules are pretty simple but lead to deep matches. Highly recommended for anyone who loves strategy or turn-based games or just having a good time.
