Great management game! The menus are very easy to navigate. Updates come out regularly. The developer responds quickly to feedback and tries to address players' requests—that's exactly how it should be 👌🏻 I'm excited to see what the future holds 🥳🎉

I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoy this game as a General Manager games enthusiast. First off, I would like to state that I enjoy soccer but I did not grow up with it. I am kind of new to soccer management games, but this is right up my alley. I tried Football Manager several years ago and it was way too in depth for someone like me who just has a basic knowledge of the sport. It took me like 15-20 hours just to get through a season on FM. This game is a lot more scaled back when compared to FM. However, that is not a bad thing at all! This game is more along the lines of the old championship manager games. I find this game to be very addicting with that "just one more game" feeling when playing. You don't feel bogged down from week to week just trying to get through the season. Now this game is not 100% based on real life and each league is going to have 20 teams in its top 4 divisions. Yes I know Ligue 1 only has 18 teams in its top division in real life and the MLS has 30 teams, but if that sort of stuff bothers you, then this might not be the game for you. This is being developed by a single Indie Developer who is very responsive to his fanbase and does everything he c…

A nod to the classic football manager games of years gone past. Retro graphics with sprinkles of modern things that make sense. This isn't over the top and has enough for you to develop your club a decent pace. Active discord and constant updates.

Great game! It reminds me of the OG Champ Manager games. If you loved them, you'll love this. Continuously updated also which is great.
Recommended Aug 21, 2026
The game is still in its debut, but improvements are added almost every day. It is truly impressive considering the dev works on his own! He listens to community feedback and is very open to suggestions. Like the name says it is a retro-style football manager, not with real club and player names for licensing reasons, but you can easily edit that yourself. Definitely give it a go!
