Retro Goal 12+

Great start, looking forward to updates

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.

Developer Response ,

Hi. Appreciate the feedback, especially with regards to difficulty. It's something we will be monitoring very closely. It's still early days and we have lots planned for the game. Hope you stick with us. :)

An amazing little football manager game!

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 ect

Edit^ 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

Wanted to like it, but difficulty levels are bizarre

I started off loving it and couldn’t work out what people were complaining about. Paid my 99p gladly, and to be fair I’ve certainly had 99p worth of fun - I can’t complain about the price. But having breezed through “normal” difficulty, I decided to start a new game in “hard” - but it was quite simply impossible. I’ve been through a season and a half nearly and have not won a single game, and only drawn two, the rest all losses. It’s absurd how the difficulty jumps - considering after “hard” there is also an “extreme” mode, but frankly it can’t get more extreme than losing every game can it? And of course it’s a vicious circle, because the more you lose the harder it is to win because good players don’t want to join, existing players lose morale and then start getting red cards (which also bans them from the next game) and your ticket takings are low. The cynic in me wonders if this is to push people toward paying for the “premium” players for their team, but maybe that’s not the case. Either way, I’m bored of winning every game on “normal” and bored of losing every game on “hard” so this one’s deleted.
