Football Club Management 23 4+

Decent but has potential

A good game with a lot of potential! Has too many stupid bugs right now that really take away from the experience. The BIGGEST bugs have to do with negotiations. For example:
1. When signing players it won’t let you adjust your offer to your liking, instead it caps off how much you can offer(regardless of available money) which throws off the negotiation completely.

2. Loan negotiations & club negotiations need more variety. With loans it’s always “negotiate” once then either accept or they walk. Yet it’s completely different when you go to loan a player.
Same with stadium advertisers and all the club stuff, barely any negotiating and options.

If those 2 BIG issues are fixed this would be an excellent game. The rest are small things like…

1. In-game coin values are off especially when it’s the only currency. Things cost way too much(coaches upgrades, agents & off time activities).

2. Not enough available staff. I had an off-season where there were only 5 available free agent coaches.

3. Repetitive “highlights” especially the “offsides play”. Some highlights are actually pretty random and awesome so that’s why this is a small one.

Entertaining game with potential to be great tbh

Scripted

I love actually playing this game, but it’s incredible how 4 seasons in a row, my created team has manage to maintain first place for the entirety of the season and then drop to second or 3rd in the final 3 games of the season. Then, again, for the 4th season in a row, we get knocked out in the playoffs. There’s absolutely no way this isn’t scripted. I had created the best squad in the league and to see this happening 4 seasons in a row is very disappointing and is something that needs to change. You could say i maybe just got extremely unlucky, but i deleted and re downloaded the game, started a new save with a new team in the same league and of course the exact same thing happened. You also can’t play with better teams until u reach a certain manager level, so with this scripted format you are basically stuck with a non league side. Maybe i’m missing something or playing the game wrong but if not then this game is a waste of your time because while it is actually a fun game, your team cannot move to the top leagues which kills it for me. I really need the game to receive an update that allows your team, if it’s one of the best in the league and in form, to be promoted. Maybe if this happens i will change my 1 star rating, but for now i’m just very disappointed.

Good game, but needs work

I love this game! It’s unique as it allows you to play as a Sporting Director, who oversees all the staff and player, as well as club facilities development. It has many issues with realism, though. I play as Manchester United, and the manager used Victor Lindelof as a goalkeeper hahaha! And I had some random polish club pay $25mil for Alex Telles. Updated review: after the recent update, seems like they are trying to improve the game slowly, and I’m enjoying it. Updated my score to 4/5. Still disappointing that the latest transfers from the summer are not all updated, but the game is definitely on the right track.

Update 2: I wanted to transfer some players to match the current real world roster, and I can’t because they’re both “uninterested” in joining my club. I payed $2.99 to access the editor to hopefully do it manually, like FM Mobile 22 lets you to, but the editor here is a joke, only allows you to edit name and appearance. Until the rosters are up to date, or at least the editor allows you to move players between teams, I’m changing my score to 2/5, because now I’m a paying customer.
