Please post the full text of the error message.

An array element reference requires an index.

if (play[] == card)

This line is invalid Java syntax. If you want to check if an int array contains a particular int value, you'll either have to loop over the array to check the occurrence of that value or convert the array to something like a Set (if ordering is not important) and then use its contains method.
