Wildcard Football is a game that offers arcade-style American football gameplay with three modes: exhibition, season, and dream squad. The game features 32 teams, 11 stadiums, and wild cards that can alter the game in wacky ways. The game also has a card collection system allowing players to create and customize their teams. The game has decent graphics, humor, and cross-play options, but it also has some drawbacks such as not having official teams, long loading times, basic team creator, and repetitive animations. The game is very enjoyable for fans of the sport who want a casual and fun experience. Overall I found it to be great fun in solo play but even more fun in multiplayer regardless if that’s local or online. It’s a game with more positives than negatives and with a few tweaks and additions, it could be a real MVP.

Wild Card Football is an ambitious take on the sport, with a decent mix of modes and pleasing depth for those keen to go all in. The offline Season mode may keep a lot of Switch players going, but once you dive into the Ultimate Team-style 'Dream Squad' you'll eventually feel the pull to take your hard-earned fantasy roster online. That's where a lack of fluidity and clarity in gameplay can really bite. A sport as frantic as American Football needs a slightly slicker performance level than we found here. However it's only just short of a first-down, so if you're happy to live with the compromises then this may still be worth a punt.
