Started playing for a mates 5-a-side team a couple of weeks back.
We play in the MK Dons Indoor Training centre, which is this thing:
Pics aren't massive but it houses two 5-a-side pitches and the pitch is a new form of next gen astro. Very good facility.
Anyway, the first game 2 weeks ago we lost 3-2, and me missing an absolute siter didn't help much!
But, last night we won 5-2. We went 0-1 down after about 2 minutes, but then I found myself with two one on one opportunities and managed to slot them both home. Then my mate, who plays centre defence at the weekend, decides to crack a 20 yard volley into the top corner! No idea how! Half time comes round and we're 5-1 up. Second half was quite slow, and the other team scored a late 2nd, not much else to report there.
Scored 2, and didn't really get a sniff after that. I got marked out the game when they realised I could finish.
No game for 2 weeks now

The very stuff mate. Quite slippery, but also makes it quite fast for passing on the floor.

Same stuff we play on, a lot better than the old stuff that gave you horrific carpet burns 
I've had 2 stinkers the past 2 Tuesdays after being invited to train with a team the week before

Last night we had thunder and lightning above us and the thing we play in is like a big tent. It gets fucking hot in there! The extractor fans are naff too so the heat just lingers.

I play every monday (not enough players this week though  )
We only play friendly at the moment, same type of pitch although it feels a bit heavier than you describe, must be a bit longer...
I am loving it tbh.

The ball bounces really well on this stuff. Never played on anything like it, but I do prefer it to normal astro.

ours is like tom says, ball doesn't bounce true and it rolls slower. think they've added too much black rubber
