Fantastic game, a massive upgrade from the previous versions. The only problem is the bugs and glitches which I'm sure the Devs will work on eventually. I think there should be more player stats, for cups like champions league, and also improved player attributes, with stats like dribbling, set piece, physicality etc

despite the premises being good behind the game there are too many issues that need resolving. no matter how light the training is you have at least 1 or 2 players getting injured every other session. the coin system is decent for upgrades but I've never heard of a manager paying himself for facility or staff upgrades. and other than that you have to use your manager coins to get recovery items too. generally just designed to force you into losing all the time or spending money.

Thanks for your review, whilst injuries are frustrating its not true that a light session will cause injuries. Any session below a certain intensity will not produce any injuries. Upgrades are not really the job of the manager, however some users who collect large amounts of coins want to spend them on items like that, so we left it in for them

So, first thoughts. Great idea of the game. Love the transfer idea, and very good based on that. However, playing as Everton, first few games in, trying different tactics here and there to find some form and cannot get a single goal. Not sure why that's the case, I've tried several different formations and have had no luck. I feel it is very against you, the AI. But I will keep trying, keep experimenting. This game has got potential.
