No instructions whatsoever. It's a simple game and I had it figured out in about 15 minutes, but the way you're introduced to the game is jarring. I can deal with that, but bugs make this game unplayable. Every game at least one of my players gets his stats corrupted which totally messes up the scoring calculations the game uses. A typical striker will have a shooting ability of 40. Last game I had a strikers shooting ability go up to 600. He scored easily every time he shot. And on the other end a defender got his tackling ability knocked down to like -360 or something. So the opposition scored on every play in which he touched the ball no matter what else happened. You've got no substitutes, just your 11 players, so I'm forced to leave that -360 guy in the game. Also the UI is buggy. Sometimes the task bar is invisible (that's not a setting, it just is invisible) and you have to guess where the button is to move to a different screen. There's a green button at the top right that I can't see. There's no options to adjust display that I've seen so I'm stuck with that too. What's irritating is that the player corruption bug happens nearly every single game and the UI bug is easy…5 found this helpful

as a fan of the genre it’s nice to see a different approach here. It’s basically football manager + auto battler and it works better than I expected tbh I’ve been playing it while working remotely, just letting matches run in the background while I do my stuff. It’s kinda perfect for that def keeping an eye on this one rn2 found this helpful
This game has lack of depth, content and polish.1 found this helpful
That's my first time playing FM kind of game. Because of that the tutorial section kinda caught me off guard on how clueless I am... but after the tutorial section everything clicked! Very interesting management system and have an endless possibility on how you can adjust your team. PS: Achievements when?1 found this helpful
So far, the game feels pretty good, and the price is fair. It’s a nice way to kill some time.1 found this helpful
