Taking a three year break and then releasing a game that is 90 percent the same is honestly baffling. They added the national team, but the matches are unlicensed. Did you design the team logos in Paint or what? The whole thing feels messy and poorly put together, a real disappointment. In terms of gameplay, it is much easier than the previous game. I became champion in 20 minutes without any real challenge. Since there is no real alternative on the market (and I completely ignore the other game, PBM 26, which is even worse), you can play it if you really want to. The gameplay itself is decent, but if you have played the previous title, I do not recommend buying it.

Wanted to give this game a try, but it is a very shallow management game - there is no depth at all. Thought I could "save" it by using the in-game editor, but all you can change are the pictures and team names - that's it? No budget, nothing. Also, you can't really change the managers of the teams either? You literally type in the name of the manager you want and upload a photo, there is like no actual profile of the manager available, with stats etc.

excellent game but for the averages to be accurate you will need to install a mod from the steam workshop
