It’s a a cool game and I love playing it a lot, but I’ve one concern which is the rate in which players get injured. I mean it’s terrible like every week more than 3 to 4 injuries, it’s too much and it happens constantly please look into that and it’ll fantastic. Thanks
They deleted my review😂

I’ll say this again since they deleted it. This game is horrible compared to the 25 and earlier model. For starters it’s just not as fun. Second they got rid of director mode. Why? If I wanted to be the manager I’d play 1 of the 20 other manager games on the App Store that tbh are much better. The fact that this game sat in that niche is what made it good. It had an aspect where you not only helped build the team of players but you got to hire a manager and watch him build his staff as if it were a real life manager working under you. I think that is a very underrated aspect of this game that needs to be brought back. It brought another aspect to the game where it wasn’t all on your shoulders to make the team good. If the team was playing poorly it’s possible that it wasn’t the players and it was actually a poor manager which just added more complexity to the experience. Because they brought back create a team I’ll bump it to 2 stars but this game seriously misses compared to previous versions. And owner mode would arguably be more fitting than a manger mode for this type of game.
People hate for no reason

People just haven’t learned how to play this game is awesome I created a team on the lowest of England league and now am in the premier fighting for both cups, league, champions and world of clubs and my team is not tired and I have them in good form. I get they wanting to own the club but from the gameplay perspective it doesn’t change as much as they say, only good things and updates.
I respect your hard work, please notice me.

Hi, please make a game very similar to FCM25 but with updated transfers, full career-long player statistics instead of just one season, the ability to create your own formation, and different roles for players.
