I really don't care about football (soccer). But I love management and building a team that wins championships! I've done that since I was a child in Fifa Manager 09 and at some point it was time to upgrade and We Are Football was the right choice. The game is quite accessible to new players, due to a good tutorial and in-game manual that is very easy to navigate. But that doesn't mean it lacks depth, as you can do all sort of things to improve your team's performance as well as keep the fans and sponsors happy. It also has various funny interactions and a lovely dry sense of humor - at least in the german version. Also, you can add your own events, clubs, players and all that stuff in the editor. I'm really not good with programming but even I managed to build a club of my own! What this game lacks is a proper 3D viewer of the matches. This was only added with the 2024 version. Personally, I don't need that and find the 2D matches very exciting on their own. But I know this might be a big deal for actual football fans! The game also has no licenses for the exact club and player names. But at least the former are easily recognizable. Also, even on the highest difficulty, it's …2 found this helpful
If you ever played the Total club manager series you are in for a treat. This game has clearly been heavily influenced by them, taking some of the best parts as the core of the game. It is no means perfect and I can think of several improvements but was purchased for less than £7 on sale and well worth every penny.1 found this helpful
Just a spreadsheet, with the most basic of round names, popping up (around 3) to kid-on they are passing the ball and shooting. In other words no players on the pitch, no animation. Shame because it has potential. Also, no world clusb/names of players. Just German. You can edit the game and download made-up teams etc. But it still doesn't resolve the fact there's no actual football to watch when your team plays. If you watch the store page, second video 20 seconds in, you will see what your team looks like 'playing' in a quick glimpse
Got this on a sale for 5eur. For that price, it's a pretty nice game. I never got into Football Manager because I feel like too many things have to be micromanaged and it's too much for me. In We Are Football, you can delegate a lot of those things, and also most of the systems are simplified. There are a couple of things that simply don't make sense and I wish they could easily be changed, for example: I make a ton of profit in a small club because I developed it well. However, even with 50 millions in the bank, the board won't give me more than 7 million of budget. Just imagine how further we could go if I could use that extra money.
WE ARE FOOTBALL, developed by Winning Streak Games and published by THQ Nordic, offers a modern take on the football management simulation genre. Rather than focusing on photorealistic match day graphics or licensing deals, this title aims to deliver a deep and satisfying managerial experience grounded in decision-making, long-term planning, and the psychological nuances of running a professional football club. While it doesn’t quite have the scope or granularity of genre titans like Football Manager, it carves out a unique identity through its accessibility, faster gameplay loops, and customizable systems that appeal both to newcomers and veterans looking for a more streamlined experience. At its core, WE ARE FOOTBALL places you in the role of a manager responsible not only for tactics and transfers, but for every facet of a club’s ecosystem. From youth development and staff hiring to stadium upgrades and merchandising strategies, the game encourages a holistic approach to team management. What sets it apart is the breadth of influence you’re given. You're not just picking starting elevens—you’re setting up academy structures, defining PR strategies, negotiating sponsorship deals…
