My childhood all over again. 130+ hours on this, love it. It has a learning curve, but would love to see a 2019 version of this (I know it wont happen) But working your way up, you can play a season pretty quick and control every aspect. Very similar to those who have played USM

This comes off as one of those old games which is great if you played it when it was new, but if you have no prior exposure and buy it in 2018 then it's crap. From what I've seen, DoF is like the old Ultimate Soccer Manager games, which resembled FM but you could also build/improve your stadium and facilities in very specific ways, and you also managed your advertising. The problem is that it is very hard to figure out what is going on. Even basic things. One example is your players seem to have 3 categories of abilities (strength, intelligence, and technique). And within those 3 categories, there are 3 specific skills. So technique I think had speed, dribbling, and shooting. You can train speed, dribbling, or shooting. I'm sure each one as an effect in the game. But you can't actually view what a players skills are, only how strong the category is. A player might have 80 technique, but is he slow with a good shot? Fast, but can't control the ball or shoot? Balanced? There's no way to tell. Some players also have special skills on top of those attributes. I forget what they were now. But there's nothing explaining what those skills are, or how they impact the player. In fact,…

[i] Pretty neat lil football manager,similar to football games before 2000 (brought memories) ,it's easy to get used to (in fact ,you just need to pay attention),it's simple ,cute,and delivers fun set to choice of user.Not fancy,or too complicated.Beats the crap of other football manager games struggling to deliver same fun.Retro style makes it so very cool. Good job [/i]

grade: 8/10 this game looks nice but the ui is awful fr. it is hard to navigate to key areas every time. it looks like a fun manager game but it is really mid at best. no workshop access to edit competitions and teams. it is recommendable but it is not a very well designed game.

The UI is horrible and counter-intuitive. It was a game I used to play as a kid though.

USM98 makes this game look like more 90s than it did? USM98 beats this hands down total ♥♥♥♥♥, horrible interface cut down names, confusing stats avoid!!
