Retro Football Management 4+

Best Retro Football Game Ever

This game is a wonderful nod back to the days of simple, classic football games that I spent hours and hours playing on a ZX Spectrum as a kid. This game heavily involves random number generation, so don’t get too angry when you unthinkably lose 4-0 to a team you out-class in every aspect, but in the main you won’t have a problem. Just pick a season from history and keeping playing it until you amass an ultimate squad from that era, become league champions and win the European Cup. The only improvements I’d like to make would be to add the FA Cup (England) to give it an extra knockout dimension and give you the chance to win the elusive Treble, relegation/promotion when you continue playing from a certain season, and weirdly despite signing foreign players, they continue to appear in the transfer market playing for other clubs whilst they’re playing for you. But other than that - almost perfect! Goodbye free time, hello square-eyes! Thank you :)

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot of this very useful feedback. This year we will be adding subs and player ratings. In early 2021 we plan to release 2 new modes to the game which will contain the FA Cup and promotion and relegation. Regards Coast Gaming

Basic but Amazing

Exactly this, the game is very basic. You only pick 11 players and only manage fitness, injuries and suspensions. You have an unlimited transfer window and can only search for players from your selected league, but after every game you are shown a few foreign players to buy which is pure RNG. Transfers are glitchy, both me and Chelsea brought Deco this season (high twin rate). Season takes half hour.
But... and its a big but... the game feels like something I felt as a youngster playing Championship Manager, its amazing for on the go. Sure if want the FM experience on a mobile, this is not it. But if you want to click away, win the league season after season, win game after game (mostly, theres still the 1-0 loss randomly!) and amass a team of Galacticos, this IS the game for you.

Great game..but.

This is a great game. Real nostalgia, quick seasons. However subs would be good in game, and also more competitions like domestic cups and champs league. You don’t mind the ads as they are not all the time and you are rewarded financially in game and can skip some after 5 seconds. Now the but, played fantastic for about 7 seasons but now it crashes every other game when loading an ad or checking the foreign market after each game. Most of the times your last match is saved but once or twice I’ve had to replay the match. Once on the last game of the season and I ended up playing 39 premier league games. But it is a great game :-)
