Не смотря на старые лиги, отсутствие лицензий и реальных игроков, игра выглядит как шедевр. Возможность редактировать все, кроме внешнего облика инфраструктуры, правильная прокачка и интересное взаимодействие создают для тебя погружение в свою команду. Регулярные интервью, за не правильные ответы на вопросы в котором ты теряешь слишком много, из-за чего учишь имена персонала, главных лиц команды и практически роднишься с коллективом, вот про что эта игра!
I try not to complain to much, BUT I quickly grew to hate this game. The most offensive component is the lame controls. 1. You click/drag on the player with the ball to kick. 2. You click/drag on the player with the ball to run. 3. You click/drag on a player that doesn't have the ball to assign a path run. 4. You click/drag on the screen to rotate the screen around. 5. You click (hopefully, you don't accidentally drag) on a player that doesn't have the ball to pass to them. ... THIS IS LAME! Using the same exact control for everything shows a total lack of testing on the part of the game developers! The small number of pixels allowed by this game, doesn't provide enough flexibility to make this week control system work. You spend a chunk of your time accidentally doing the time wrong moves! AND ULTIMATELY DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL! Just do what every other game did for the last several decades. Use clicks WITHOUT DRAGGING! Or if the desired platform was touch friendly systems use an action wheel for multiple options. The controls won't be bad if the AI for your team wasn't so TERRIBLE! Your team members are always running away from the goal and the player who has the ball. This is the basic principals I taught five year-old's who were playing for the first time. And the card system is beyond lame. I wanted play MANAGEMENT game, meaning I want some vague offering of strategy. The random cards means this game in no better than just playing a slot machine, hoping for a lucky pull.

Love the way that this game is done and it is helping me understand soccer better. Very immersive and has good depth. And the arcade side of the games is easy enough so that someone like me can play it. Love that too. Great job, Devs.
The perfect Football Manager Lite.
É um jogo de gerenciamento bem casual, mas achei bem divertidinho. A gente começa com um clube na última divisão da liga de sua escolha, e temos que fazer esse time mixuruca conquistar o maior título da região - pra depois repetir o processo em outra liga, do zero. Os elementos de management são bem rasos, mas me surpreendi com a quantidade de coisas que podemos gerir. Esse jogo tem dois diferenciais se comparado com outros do gênero: o controle ativo de ataque e o sistema de cartas, e gostar desses elementos é o que vai definir se você vai gostar do jogo ou não. [b]Controle Ativo de Ataque.[/b] Você tem o controle direto do seu time quando eles atacam, podendo trocar passes, chutar, etc. Quando você perde a bola, tem que recuperar a posse antes do adversário cruzar o meio do campo ou chutar a bola pra fora. Durante esse período todas as peripécias tradicionais do futebol se aplicam: impedimentos, faltas, escanteios, etc. Você não tem controle durante os ataques do adversário - isso fica totalmente à mercê dos stats dos jogadores. [b]Sistema de Cartas.[/b] Nesse sistema desbloqueamos cartas como recompensa pra diversas ações - como upar o level de treinador - ou através da comissão técnica que você contrata. Cartas são consumíveis e desaparecem depois do uso. [i]- Treino[/i] - cartas que melhoram habilidades específicas de apenas um jogador. [i]- Energia[/i] - cartas que recuperam uma quantia de fadiga de apenas um jogador. [i]- Efeito[/i] - cartas com efeitos, como diminuir o tempo de cartão vermelho ou reduzir o tempo que um jogador fica machucado Enfim, o começo do jogo é bem lento, com poucos recursos e poucas opções, já que sempre começamos na liga mais baixa, com poucos recursos e com jogadores bem fracos, mas o jogo vai ficando um pouquinho mais competitivo e interessante quanto mais você joga. Definitivamente tem aquele sentimento de “só mais uma partida”. [b]Nota: 7/10[/b] - [b]Memorável[/b]

You really should try this game. I think Simon Read is a genius. I've been playing his games since New Star Soccer 1 (the text-based one :D ). The creativity of this guy is unbelievable . New Star Manager is so fun and addictive. I always appreciate the minimalism, but this game, it's minimalist and also complex. I don't know how to explain... Anyway, I might not buy Football Manager 26 anymore... :))
