Esports Manager 2026

Is this game a good concept? Yes, it's an absolute fantastic concept and I think it has a lot of potential to be a great game Is it very good right now? No, not at all and I think my sentiment matches most players currently where this game should be listed as early-access and needs major fixes sooner than later to make it more playable. Crashing should not mean you automatically lose a match as the game crashes on its own... quite often. This is one of the biggest issues with the game, it ♥♥♥♥♥ the bed, freezes and next thing you know you've lost a Bo3. As a coach, you should be able to call to save on lost rounds as the enemy AI does. The players' AI will often bug out and go absolutely crazy for no reason, you can call to finish B and they'll sprint across the map to a contested A-site for no reason. And why the everloving ♥♥♥♥ does saving not matter? 5 players alive, AWP and 4 AKs in hand, and they have to rebuy the next round. Do you just want to ♥♥♥♥ our econ so if the AI outdoes us we only get 2 more full buy rounds or one more before we need to break for econ? If I'm winning with 5 people alive, if I've got 2 AWPs in hand.. why am I punished? Make it make sense, make winning a round mean something, if it benefits the enemy, so be it. It's meant to be a benefit to win a round. More importantly in my opinion, can you remove the valorant players and make the contracts somewhat reasonable? Why is Subroza and S0m present in the game, I appreciate it but I bought it for CS? I buy a player and his market value is 90k but the AI refuses anything under 200k at a valuation whilst I can only sell 130k players for around 80k, it's not fair. Why is your search system so bad? Why can I not search specific staff members in their roles easier? Why do some players have no countries? Why are teams with all women not listed as such and then signing male players? What is the point of a PR manager? Why does investing in marketting not increase my profit by popularity? Why do players never get loaned out on user-teams successfully? And why is it that you can't run a 6-man or 7-man roster, basically keeping trainee players without them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and complaining that you're not playing them? If I've got a 36 year old IGL, and an 18 year old IGL on the bench, I should be allowed to tag him as a trainee and have him be happy to know he'll take the role very soon! I would recommend this game... in another year provided they keep at it with updates, I enjoy it personally but it needs a lot of work. If the team at Neurona would like to have playtesters, please contact me, happy to get involved and help test features. Game's concept is fantastic, just the game itself needs work. Review will be updated around December 1st of 2026, and then once again around March 1st of 2027.
