Dream League Soccer 2021 Wiki

really good game, getting better with smoothness in gameplay and very aesthetically pleasing. the only thing that i think is a take away is that the only way to develop players is through mass amounts of gems. also, it used to be in dream league 16-18 that the coaching and development systems were different. for example, i had a team with that jonny hayes player from aberdeen in my starting team and i was able to have his overall reach a 92 when i made it to the elite division which was the highest at the time i believe. i guess i just really appreciated how i could develop players who weren’t that good and make them legends in my dream league team. now it just feels like if i want good players i can only sign them, and don’t get me wrong, i signed plenty of players. but i just like being able to develop players into legends. the development isn’t nearly as prominent because of the amount of gems you have to spend, and for some players it isn’t even a 10pt increase when they max out, while back in dream league 16 i could make a 68 jonny hayes a 92 overall. just food for thought, i’m in love with the game and would love to see that development system come back into a much better looking and functioning dream league game. i hope you guys read this! :D

Hi there, I’ve been playing this game well over 4 years now. Since the latest update, I can’t upgrade individual sections of the stadium. Whenever I try to touch a section of the stadium, it goes back to the overhead view. Could the dev team take a look at this? I’ll change to 5 stars once fixed, thanks! Edit: the glitch was fixed, thank you! To continue my review, Ive played this game for years. For all the people complaining about it being pay to win, you are literally just impatient... hate to be blunt but it’s true. Here’s what you do, start a new career, play pve until you max your stadium, ALWAYS watch ads after EVERY game because it doubles your earned coins, get a team of 60-65 rated players, that should be good enough to get you literally to division 1/elite. During that time only upgrade your stadium and dump all of your diamonds into increasing coin % and make sure to collect your season pass rewards. If you do this, you should have a maxed stadium in division 1 (pve) roughly, now every home game your getting 200+ coins after watching an ad. You’ll never have coin problems again, all f2p. Now build your dream team and go crush pvp :)

Honestly, I’ve only gotten the game within the last week, so maybe I’m not the best source of info on this but I really like the new update, as for gameplay, the graphics and physics of each game has wildly improved with a wide range of animations that offer seamless transitions, they turned a game where you’d often see scores of 10+ to 0 and made it more defensive friendly, allowing for it to be very realistic and accurately portray the sport. I do think that they made it much harder to upgrade your team without spending real cash on it, which can be a bit frustrating at times but in previous years I’d find myself with a 90% win rate without really doing much on the field just because I was able to upgrade my team with such ease. I just feel like the game has made it more difficult in some aspects, but it brings a reassuring challenge to the game. That being said, I will say once again, I am very new to this so I’m not sure how the aspect of gems and coaches will play out further down the line, but for the first few stages I have seen many great things from a really simple mobile game, that I really appreciate. 👍

I’ve put a lot of time into this game, and I gotta say I’ve always really liked it. However, I recently won the Legendary Division and lost in the championship of the International Cup, no big deal because I knew the teams in the tournament were good. However, when I started my next season it’s as if the difficulty went from average to legendary. Why? I know the difficulty is supposed to increase as you rise through the divisions, but it’s so staggering of an increase that my entirely gold tier team that I’ve spent a good amount of time putting together has now been rendered useless. Why is it that my 90+ speed Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez can’t outrun a 57 overall defender? There was no thought put into the difficulty upgrade, and it’s completely taken the fun out of this game as I can’t beat any of the teams in my division and I can barely slip by 60 rated teams in the GC Cup. Finally, I know this isn’t a problem of my own skill as I have a decent record online playing against challenging opponents. Probably gonna stop playing until this issue is fixed, it’s ridiculous.

I love DLS and have been playing it for a couple years now and this is one of my favorite editions. There are some things that I would love to come in the next version of DLS. 1st of all I would love to bring legends back into the game. Idk how you guys would do it but that would be incredible. 2nd I would also like to have the global challenge cup ties be over 2 legs. I know that you guys are having the global challenge cup like the UCL so you should implement having the ties after the group stage be 2 legs. The final doesn’t have to be 2 legs but I feel that this would make the global challenge cup feel more like the UCL. Edit: I would also like to bring back the create a player ability? Mode? Idk how you would call it. But anyway I remember around the first couple editions of DLS when you created your team you could create a player and make him your captain. That was a great feature that I would love to see make a return. If you could make where you could have the created player and still be able to pick a captain. The created player doesn’t have to be good. He can be a 65-70 ovr and then we will be able to upgrade him all the way to 99 ovr. This would be a great feature to bring back. Maybe in the next dls game.

The game is a complete flop compared to the previous 3 years. I have been a player since the game came out several years ago and I’ve always loved it... until now. The overall in game experience is fine, it stayed the same hence the 2 stars. My problems lie with everything else. 1) Where is used to be free to change your team kit now it cost jems and the only way to get jems is by paying real money. And that’s not all, practically everything you would want in the game costs jems. 2) Where you used to be able to pick from around 40 different players to transfer, now you can only pick from 9. 3) The stadiums look like they haven’t been repaired since 1922. The walls are dirty brick and the roof looks like there was a dust storm and they never got around to cleaning it up. This was really disappointing to me because I used to look up to this game with such high regard. I really hope any first time users read this. By all means download it and see how YOU like it. Not everyone will feel this way. I just want to tell you what can while also going on a little rant. I hope you have a great day! -Jack

The fact that you cant get coins for selling players is both unrealistic and inconvenient. Instead of giving us coaches, to upgrade our players, we should have the option to receive the coins the player is worth or the coach worth the player Also another little inconvenience about the transfer options is the inability to search for players for free and at least see how much they would cost, once we reach the team rating to “unlock” the ability to buy the player One last thing the way the diamonds are used for the kits, team logo, coach appearance etc. are ,in my opinion, “dumb” so to speak and could have at least been lowered for the little things such as the first few things i listed they could be used for but for the improvements on the medical, accommodation, training, & commercial are understandable but a little TOO expensive since the amount of diamonds we get at the end of each season is barely enough, if not, not enough to make any improvements on those options Other than those that really come into mind, the game is great and love the improvements on the game! (Coming from a user since LONG ago)

Hello, I’ve been playing this game for a year now. This game can be something but I’m having this same situation happen every time. When it comes to online matches against players, there’s times when I’m down by 1 or tied in the game and as I’m moving forward to attack and having really good passes. All of a sudden, my player stops and doesn’t move. Keep in mind I have really good internet services but yet the game is claiming I have “poor” connection. This always happens when it’s the most important part of the game. I can understand if I glitch/lose connection throughout the whole game but this ONLY happens when I need to score or need to defend my lead. Secondly, the moving pad glitches whenever it comes to passing and shooting. Let’s say you’re attacking towards the right side of the opponents field. You’re making great passes, you’re getting closer and closer to make a great set up to score. As soon you point your moving pad towards where you need to pass/shoot, all of a sudden the moving pad switches to the left and you pass/kick the ball to the other side of the field... like I said this ONLY happens when the most important moments in the game. Now I could be tripping but this has happened way too many times to the point I think the games acts unfair on purpose or like it’s scripted. I wish if I knew some people were having problems like me.

You see great game 👍 but one thing is that we need to earn more coins a match and the transfer prices should lower because it’s so high I can only sign one two or magically three but that’s it not everyone allowed to buy coins yknow and you Need to add some kind of ability to curve the ball when you shoot maybe a button because it’s something soccer games should have and need NSS had it we need it because it’ll help maybe we hold that button and it would work the same way but it makes the shot go swoosh culer curve woooo something like that but don’t do the defects you know what I mean right so do this please and also after getting promoted and stuff you should overall boost if you win league 1 if you win bronze cup half the bar will go up if you win challenge cup that’s 1 and all star match is half the bar which is three only if you win all trophies 🏆 aight This new DLS21 is a step down why did the graphics get worse why did transfers get more restricted why does everything cost so much but income is so little it makes no sense so I can only give it3 stars but I swear dream league classic is way better than this and I still don’t understand why I can’t play FTS20 on my iPhone fox this all please At this point no changes yet all I can say is the game is super bad trash

This game is really fun to play most of the time, but the purchase system is a bit overbearing. It can be tiring to play in the same division over and over again because even though you routinely win the division, you don’t have enough money to upgrade your stadium to the proper requirements. However, the most problematic part of this game is the difficulty: it’s the opposite of what should happen. For example, as a starter team, I beat Barca multiple times in championships/tournaments/etc, which doesn’t make any sense. Conversely, by the time I worked my way up to have a better team than Barca, I consistently lost to trash backwater starter teams where the striker is the local milkman, while still consistently beating teams that are as good or better than me. It is ridiculously frustrating to spend time and energy grinding out a great team, only to be have my legendary players be made completely useless in the face of what should be an overwhelmingly inferior team. I would understand if the teams that I lost to were better than me, or if I lost to a bad team every once in a blue moon, but this is such a common occurrence that I now dread having to play any team that’s not better than my own. Everything else is great though.

The game itself is decent. As you can read from the other reviews there are glitchy parts where it kicks it the wrong way all the sudden or your player doesn’t respond how you need it to. That’s okay but recently I’ve had a big problem with connecting to matching server for online play. This is now the third time that it says “Failed to connect to matching server” after the game worked perfectly before. The message just gives you a link to look at which is totally useless and says to try again. Mind you I try again for 2 or 3 days and eventually it just magically works again. The articles on the help page are not good at all as they say check wifi or connection. Obviously I know that’s not the issue as I am here writing this review without a problem. It has also happened many times and it doesn’t just fix itself quickly with better connection or anything it just fixes itself when it wants. It’s really frustrating when you’re in a tournament and it happens because by the time it’s fixed the tournament has definitely ended. If it was once I wouldn’t bother writing this but this is at least the third time it’s happened and it’s pretty annoying. If this is fixed game is five stars even with little bugs and in 2-3 days at least when the online works again it’ll be five stars worthy. Definitely needs to be looked at though which is why I am being critical.

I’ve been playing dls for a long time and they have come a long way. The graphics are a huge upgrade and the game looks great. But the game itself has been a hug let down. 1. Mechanics- the gameplay does not feel smooth what so ever. My players bounce off the opponent and it seems I’m always swarmed by the cpu. Yet, when the opponent have the ball they are untouchable and only one of my defenders press. Passing is inaccurate and it doesn’t help my players stand around and don’t move into space or to the ball. Shooting has also downgraded. I remember when I could hold the button all the way and it would knuckle or even curve. Now it just goes straight and sometimes has curve (little if any). 2. Features- the new transfer market is good and I like what they’ve done. The features seem basic and could use an upgrade. What happened to create a player?! That was one of the best things and it was so fun. 3. Statistics- “the stats don’t lie”…well in DLS it does. Shooting is the same from 80 up and pace doesn’t matter. How does a fully maxed Ronaldo get out paced by Harry Maguire 1 on 1. Or better yet, how does Messi get out paced by some random generated player with a 60 rating. It doesn’t make sense. The game has so much potential and for me is the most fun soccer game on the App Store. The game needs a lot of updates and major fixing. Hopefully the company reads reviews because I’ve seen a lot of the same complaints.

Ive been playing dream league for a long time now and to be very honest I loved it so much undoubtedly one of the best games I’ve ever played hands down. But it was just recently that I took I returned to playing this game after a long hiatus from it and now my view of this game has changed a lot it isn’t like the other version, the other version was in my opinion better, it was better because you could develop your characters and team however you pleased you could easily build a team and spend money on getting their ratings up and the gameplay was amazing on that version and I miss it a lot and wish I could play it again if there was an option. The other version was the best this version you have to spend so much for everything even to get formations? You have to spend on everything even waste gems and the mechanics I am also not feeling and I would love to return to the old version I would hate to stop playing dream league because I love the game alot and I don’t want to have to stop so please bring back the old version if not then I’m sorry I don’t think I can play this game again I’m not feeling the new mechanics or gameplay and how it is so please either do it in an update because I can’t play this new version.

The game is a complete scam and is a pay-to-win scenario and you can not really build the “dream team” without it. Unnecessarily expensive changes have occurred in the game since 2019 version such as seasonal passes, introduction of gems, scouts and agents (only way to buy that is with money) and locking of the market with very limited quality players available at a time which of them most of the time are mediocre in rating. Coming to the in match quality - Completely scripted, your players are always weaker and slower than the opponent no matter how good/bad their ratings are. You cant out run or dribble a much lesser rated player even with the likes of Ronaldo, Messi or Mbappe. When defending, all of your players except from the one under your control, will move in a specific direction to let the opponent go through or make a pass eventually creating an easy chance for the opponent to score. During the attack, no matter what formation and mode you use, most of your players will stay back and the midfield is almost not there for you during the attack. I put Leo messi as an attacking mid and saw him in the middle of both cb positions when my team was ATTACKING. Like what the heck. This is not even 10% of how bad the game is now as compared to the 2019 versions and before. A decent game turned in to a buisness. Sad.
