“I like this game...I really like it! I was a bit dubious about it before I made the purchase, I was thinking about downloading Madden 24, but when I saw that it required 100GB of my hard drive space, I started looking…”
“I left a detailed review for Axis 2023 upon its release, therefore I'll focus on the differences in game play between the former version and the current 2024 version. Running plays are definitely closer to a true…”
“Axis Football 2024 straddles two sides of the sports-game market, and unfortunately is not strong enough in either of these to be an incredible game, but is probably good enough for many to enjoy enough to get their…”

“Man, I have a hard time with this one. Sure, it scratches the football itch, but the gameplay realistically compares to a late-1990's football game. Seriously, an N64 or Sega Genesis title is right there with this one…”
“I love this series, but I have to say this game doesn't improve upon 2023 very much at all. Regardless, it's still probably the best football game on the market at the moment with great team customization features,…”
“I really did want to like and recommend this game, but I just can't. It has some good features such as great customization, but the game-play itself is just too flawed and needs a lot of work. I am a big fan of CPU vs…”

“A solid Football game that shows a lot of promise. In my opinion its better than Madden if you are a Franchise oriented player, especially considering value for the price of the game. Axis Football 2024 as Improved…”

“This is it. I have tried every single non-EA football game, searching desperately for a game with adequately smooth play, high creativity capacity, and solid coaching that has serviceable graphics. If you love team…”
“Axis Football 2024 is the best game yet in the Axis Football franchise. The physics and animations for offensive and defensive line play have been overhauled, resulting in much more realistic interactions between…”
“Nice game in which personally prefer the COACH mode. I just want to call the plays, and this game does permit that. The graphics are adequate, as is the game-play and announcers. Check the videos of it before you buy.…”

“By far the best game yet! If you've been on the fence about getting Axis this year, I can definitely tell you that it's worth it. Huge upgrade from last year in terms of smoothness. The tackles, blocking, and catching…”

“In general not a horrible game. The graphics can be frustrating when it looks like a player is out of bounds and still makes a catch or players just seem to stand there as the opposition run past. But, my biggest…”
“I wanted to like it, but I was looking for a football game that did GM or Franchise mode better than Madden and this isn't it. It's very shallow. Finances are more than easy to manage, I win the super bowl every other…”
“13 Sep 2024 update I contacted the developer about the issues with trading and simulation. The developer claims that, in the 2026 version, these issues were addressed. AI teams offer trades and the simulation engine…”

“The best way to describe Axis Football 2024 is to set the tone for what you are getting. Most people are comparing this to Madden and it is not that. We, as gamers, need to understand that EA and the Madden team are like the hot girlfriend that has continue to cheat on you until…”

— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“Unfortunately, I can't, in good conscience, give this a thumbs up. Things started off well enough. I did a couple of games with the default teams, just to get a feel for the game. Satisfied that things were looking alright, I carefully constructed my 16 team league, personally…”
