Amazing start to this game, brings the fun and ease of play seen in Retro Bowl and I love how similar it is. Has a great variety of leagues and teams to play. Love the ability to play a half season as well to progress through the years quicker. Fear it sort of over complicates itself though at some points. Also I find it much harder to build a strong side compared to Bowl as in bowl the draft works to assist weaker teams, in this you struggle to earn money or sign players and playing on harder difficulties is somewhat depressing when you lose every game with a pathetic squad. The disparity between difficulties is also fairly high, on medium I am currently top of the Premier League in my third season with Derby with no stat higher than 3 stars, yet with almost the same squad on hard I could hardly manage a win in the championship. Looking forward to a data editor and a dynamic difficult or just fixed difficulty settings.

Been playing for a week now and on my 5th season on hard (and no it’s not impossible to win you just need good players too do it, as expected 1-3 star players won’t win every match on hard) and having an absolute joy with the game, currently at Liverpool and have a strong youthful team and enjoy winning and losing a surprised match making some seasons very tense at the end. Like I said iv been enjoying the content available to me and can’t wait to move to my next club soon for the next challenge. I’d like to give some ideas about what I’d love to see in the game and hoping that the developers can see them, 1. I‘d love to see some better screens for when you win a trophy like when you win the Champions league there’s a little bit animation of a trophy being lifted with flares or confetti?? 2. could we get international football or jobs? With the respected competitions?? And lastly a screen a stat screen about your career such as your longest spell at a club? Your top goalscorer, best player longest win spree ectEdit^ just joined Barcelona after a good domination at liverpool and I agree with others it’s impossible to win when your team is that bad, maybe make it so it’s Harder to join these big clubs but they reward you with a decent squad already?? Every team being rubbish you join Just is not motivating and building up is not a challange it’s the impossible

Firstly, I really enjoyed this game. The mechanics I think are good and the level of each team is decent enough to make good competition. I have a couple problems though. Firstly, it is really difficult to add stars to the team rating. It seemed at some point I was getting player improvement every 2 games, but in the space of 4 seasons I only got half a star extra in attacking and defence. Secondly, it’s the swapping teams. I know I tells you that you start with the worst team if you swap, but this is just really unfair. I went from Coventry to Liverpool, expecting to keep a decent enough squad, but it’s not…just one star in everything. When I moved up with Coventry I won the cup and come 7th in the league with around 3.5 stars in each category, but cannot happen with 1 star. In the end i went a whole season with I think 3 points and got knocked out of anything because I just cannot compete with any of the teams. As much as I hate to say it, it made me quit the game entirely, and although I understand the challenge moving to a club has, being dumped into the deep end in the prem is a horrible idea, and quite frankly, made me start to resent even playing. If you took on the team that was there the previous season, I’d be more than happy, but you don’t, which really confused me and wound me up. Like I said, great game when you’re winning, but do not swap clubs in the prem unless you want 2 seasons minimum of just pure deadness, watching your team get slaughtered every week.

This game can be so much fun I think the jump in difficulties need working on for instance on normal players run away from you as you carry the ball and on hard one setting higher all 11 men are on you like a rash making you want to pass the ball quicker using the tap to pass function which can be a bit risky I find when you’re trying to not lose possession as sometimes you’ll tap and it will pass behind you or to the wrong player it’s finicky another criticism is how the contracts work on players running out at the end of the year and not letting you leave that screen until you decide to release or re sign players I feel like this may be done to tempt you into buying the Bux which is the in game currency which is something you can also earn (slowly) and you need to succeed in the game but you will no doubt lose players you want to hold onto at times and in the last few days the app won’t launch properly the title screen pops up then it goes to a black screen and gets stuck all in all I’ve found it a bit frustrating because I love playing the game it’s a lot of fun as a little 5 minute boredom buster getting but after finishing a season I do think it needs some work I will up my review when I can play them game again but for now it’s broken
