Top Eleven Be a Soccer Manager 4+

This game could not have been done any better. Nordeus really produced an addictive game. It simulates being a real football manager, customizing your club, customizing your stadium, setting your starting XI, and extremely fun events with awesome free rewards. I’ve never in my life come across a game like Top Eleven. With their new updates to the camera angles in game, I feel like I’m watching an actual match. This game is perfect except for one thing I’m skeptical about; after each season, your club % drops drastically by about 20%. For example, (and I’m not the best of players) I had a 101% squad and won the league, Champions League, Cup, and Golden Boot in the league. Since I’d won the league, I’d obviously gotten promoted. Now I was and 87% club battling evenly matched clubs at about 90%. The season was fine, 2nd place, Cup champions, and won the Super Cup. Therefore, I got promoted again. This time I was only about a 68% club going up against clubs that were 95% or above. Amazingly, I avoided relegation. But there should definitely be percentile based leagues (30%-50%, 51%-70%, 71%-89%, etc. Asides from this, Top Eleven is the best football game imaginable. I would highly recommend downloading this game.

I’ve played this game since it had bubble-headed figures and no goal graphics. It’s evolved and adapted beautifully over the years. Formations are what you make them. The level of detail in managing the teams in satisfying. HOWEVER, the game is designed to encourage micro-transactions at almost every turn. These can range from purchasing training packages to improve team-play to receiving tokens (the means to purchase players and various upgrades) daily via a $5 card for which you still MUST login daily to receive full rewards. For a decent player, it will cost you between $5-$10 and for a solid team, it can range from $100 and beyond. The most infuriating issue with this is the level-based matchmaking for league and tournaments. if you don’t pay, you’ll miss out on tons of rewards and the ability to build immensely powerful teams. If you DO pay, be prepared to compete with people who are pouring hundreds of dollars into their teams. It will not guarantee trophies or victory, only that you’ll be playing against other big teams and big money spenders. If you’re a casual player, keep your cash or pay for the card. If you’ve got cash to burn then have at it. Overall, the game is fun and engaging with great depth and immersive game play. It falls short in that it’s clearly designed to take your money and encourage you to spend more at the CHANCE to win it big if you just pay a little more.

The Good: It’s a fun game, tactics are required beyond just resting your team and raising its moral. If you have the right formation you can beat a team stronger than you, the wrong formation can have you on the other end. It’s has a lot of great features that help or hurt you so you have to pay attention to everything about running your team.

The Bad: Good god are they desperate for you to spend money on this game. Pop ups can get annoying. The tokens you can earn are minimal and barely enough for auctions, because they’re definitely not enough for scouted players unless you’re playing, or sacrificing seasons to accumulate tokens. The “deals” are terrible and that includes the monthly pass, actually the monthly pass might be the worst deal of them all. It’s no where near as useful as say Clash of Clans’ pass.

The Ugly: If you’re trying to play the game without paying they have an ad system. Sort of. I say sort of because it only works half the time. If mid ad you hear the game music just restart the game because that ad watch isn’t going to count and you’re watching for nothing. That’s if it even loads an ad. Moser likely that you’ll sit there waiting for an ad to load and just keep waiting. If that happens restarting won’t help you, it’ll just keep happening. This likely goes back to The Bad, they just want you to spend as much as possible. Pay to win.
