Family Stadium
"Beep! Mega Drive" found that the game could potentially put-off fans of the "Family Stadium" series and other similar games, saying that its controls and mechanics took some time to get used to. "Mega Drive Fan" felt the same way, saying that it felt dated compared to the "Family Stadium" and "World Stadium" games for its limited number of modes and vastly different controls. "Famitsu" disliked the game for not feeling as refined as Namco's other sports games for consoles, while "Mega Drive Encyclopedia" wrote that it didn't have the same amount of replay value as games like "Family Stadium" or "J-League Soccer Prime Goal".
