  • Problem with the game

    There is a problem with the game in the 2nd season, after the 1st game. The screen turns white & you can’t continue to play. This has only developed recently, so it must have to do with the recent updates to the game. Can you please fix it.

    Developer Response

    First of all thank you very much for your review. 2nd of all we apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you could write to us at support@coastgaming.co.uk we can try to get this resolved. We need to know the season you were playing at the time. If you restart your phone / app then this usually allows users to move past the white screen. Regards Coast
  • Great game. Have a few ideas for future updates

    Love this game. Simple but really addicting. Have some ideas to make the game even better:
    1. Add in training for youth players (u-21). They spend the week out but this can have them increase their rating, their value or have them change position.
    2. More Realistic ratings - Whilst I understand it helps the game, I think a bit more realism would help a lot. A team like Man United for example. Harry Maguire is 86 but Diego Dalot is 78 and Aaron Wan Bissaka is 79? That’s not that accurate and it makes Dalot and Wan-Bissaka really bad options.
    Overall, love the game.

    Thank you for your review and great feedback. Maguire gets his rating because of the 55 England games he has played, understand that one is controversial! Regards Coast Gaming
  • Question

    Can I play more then one season or does the season repeat?

    Developer Response

    All the players stay at the clubs who signed them and new players join the game, so yes you can continue. Regards
  • Can be 5 stars but needs changes

    The game’s premise is brilliant but a few small flaws hinder it a lot.
    First of all, the advantage to the away side overpowers almost everything in the game, it doesn’t matter how good your team is, if your home you usually win and away you usually lose, it just needs toning down a bit.
    Secondly, the positions are off for a lot of players. For example players like Ronaldo, Sterling, Bale and Mudryk are midfielders and therefore are no more likely to score than all other midfield players like Kante and beckenbauer. I think more specific positions would make sense so you can customise more with formation and tactics, also means you can’t just play 5 full backs in defence.
    Great game otherwise, just needs some more detail.

    We had an issue that sounds like your problem when users selected their captain from the player card screen. Instead try selecting your captain by long pressing them on the selection screen. It has to do with suspended players for European games not showing correctly, we have now released a fix for this. Regards
  • Love the Game

    This game is one of the best manager games ever had, can’t help but play it all the time love the challenges that are in the game really adds depth to it, which you do just manager your favourite teams you have to manage others teams as to complete the challenges The improvements I would like to see it more leagues in the same countries add to them (championship, league 1&2 or old school Division 1.2&3) which would bring promotion or relegation which in turn add more challenges (like keep this team up or get this team promoted) and more Cup competitions If these improvements were added it would make a great game even better

    You read our mind! We will have a full division and competition version coming later in the year. Regards Coast Gaming
  • Great- but some annoying glitches

    A great fun game, reminiscent of a certain pc football manager game from the mid-late 90s.

    However has some annoying features; 1. sometimes a purchased player disappears in your squad (he exists as they get subbed on automatically but you can see them) so you basically loose that transfer fee while being saddled with their wages. 2. You don’t get to choose substitutions for injuries, so sometimes a player you’ve taken off gets put back on the pitch.
    Also it would be good if the spelling was corrected in the commentary and also when you score you should get to kick off.

    Thank you for your review. Good points one and all. We are going to add to Leaderboards this month, next month we intend to implement some design changes. After this we will focus on bugs and gameplay improvements (In-play upgrades and bugs, better stats and more tactical choices). Regards Coast Gaming
  • Retro Football Management

    Love these kind of games, but do have some feedback, hence only three stars the now, could go up to 5 if suggestions implemented or already in the development.
    1. Sound would be good even some match sounds or reactions to goals missed or scored.
    2. Formation change would be good, I know putting in 5 defenders in increases the points for that area of the team.
    3. Pay to remove the darn adds would be good as they spoil my enjoyment.
    4, Some of my midfielders are actually forwards, so I cannot play them in Attack, they only impact the midfield pts, I’m guessing there is some algorithm running in the background based on the points in each area of play, ie defence, midfield and attack.

    Thank you for your great and detailed review. 1. To be honest this is not on the agenda just yet, great to have it would just be fitting in. 2. We will be adding tactical improvements in a couple of months. 3. We will be adding this as we have already done so on International Football Manager. 4. We will be adding positions but not for a while. Hope that helps regards Coast
  • Retro football that brings back memories

    I truly love this game…but I don’t agree with having to pay big amounts of money in every league and season to get legendary players. It should be a one off payment that gives you everything in every and every league. Even if it was £100 I would pay it as I have spent so much more, yet I am not even half way through playing all seasons and countries available. There isn’t a loyalty based offer for those who have stuck with this game since day one. And there is plenty of repetition with seasons and players to build ultimate squads. But this is without doubt for me a brilliant and simplistic enjoyable game. Hands down much better than the fm series. I haven’t even purchased fm mobile 23 because I enjoy this game so much. I love retro football management games, I compare this with the original football manager from the Spectrum and Commodore 64 for enjoyment and fast game simplicity. But guy’s you forgot to add Tomiaso into the Arsenal squad for the 2022 season…come on rectify this! And give the players better ratings for this season as they aren’t realistic. But please carry on with new seasons as I am addicted to this as I have never been addicted to any game before

    Thank you so much for your great review. If you purchase the Ultimate Bundle then this will give you players in every new season you start, it will also give you extra transfer cash. If you just want the players then there is an option to get players in every season if you keep scrolling down the shop options. Hope this helps and thanks again, regards Coast Gaming
  • So much potential to be great

    Transfers are a bit average. Skill attributes would be better to help choose players.
    Tactics would be a great addition instead of just swapping players about
