Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions

Pros: It's a loveletter to all the Captain Tsubasa fans out there. The gameplay is fun and has very high replayability and a ton of things to do. Remember this is not a football simulator like fifa or pes, it's an arcade with legit bloodpumping gameplay so don't expect hundreds of teams.
.
Cons: PC version has a lot of issues including performance and network error rn but they just announced the patch is coming and it's only day 1 so i'll give it a chance.
.
ALSO: THAT NEGATIVE REVIEW ABOUT THE GAME HAVING CHARACTER PACKS IS TOTAL MISINFORMATION.
You need to complete the story mode first to unlock all national teams and characters. Packs are just for grinding special skills for your custom character.
(Edited: Also there is ZERO Microtransaction in the game)

UPDATE: I'm still loving the game, I spent so much time creating new characters and trying different builds and team comps, if you are fan of Captain Tsubasa and Soccer anime I can't recommend this enough, the only problem I have with the game is just online PvP is either not stable or people are abusing broken mechanics that will be fixed soon for sure, but this game is going strong and I really appreciate Bandai Namco for making this real
I was waiting for this game to be released since it was announced, and oh boy tbh this game exceeded my expectation in many ways and was underwhelming in some others, so I will try to keep this simple
PROS:
- Story mode is amazing, you get cut scenes and special events from the manga if you were able to perform specific tasks during the match, and oooh boy how satisfying it is and how beautiful they look
- Graphics of the game pretty nice and the background is colorful and full, no empty spaces
- Voice actors nailed it
- Music is perfect
- You are rewarded the more you play the game, not just you get better since getting the timing is important to build that muscle memory, also tons of collectible items and characters
- Characters actually feel different from each other so building teams is a lot of fun
- minimum RNG next nothing
- no micro-transactions
- online PvP is stable without any lags or delays even though I'm in USA and I played vs someone in JP
- supports all controllers
- the game is deeper than it looks but it's not complicated
CONS:
- Some game technical issues like it crashed on me twice but I think it was because I switched window mid a loading screen
- Some visual bugs in the match like GK stuck mid air after a Save
- The referee doesn't do much since you can't make a foul, but I guess this eliminates the RNG factor
- After you become good at the game story mode becomes SOOOO easy, I wish there was a way to increase the difficulty
- Subtitle is funny sometimes
This game is not perfect by any means, but as a first attempt to make a modern Anime soccer game this is an 8/10 attempt, I suggest (if you want to see more of this) to buy this game, you can even wait when it is on sale to buy, but I think this could be a great start for a new generation of Anime Soccer games that will make us happy for a long time

You no longer need to watch a whole episode just to see them shooting, 10/10.

People leaving negative reviews based on server problems on day 1, while I'm here enjoying the story mode with my DORAIBU SHOOTO! :D

Great Game!
the only problem is the online mode. Developers should implement cross platform since there are few players in PC who play this game.
Edit: I cannot find players on the online mode even when the game on discount. Please Bandi, there are many free games out there where they have cross platform while you guys do not have a single game that support cross platform.

PES... but without referee and no license war
Honestly, this game more harder than PES/FIFA

Nice game but terrible online mode
