Injuries ruin the game
It’s a pretty common narrative that sometimes really smart “techy” types just have no common sense! This dev likes to stroke himself and get satisfaction out of making a game that is unbeatable. Good for you little man! You don’t have a 53 man roster! Hello! You have half that. And when you get 2-3 guys injured in a single game sometimes, there isn’t enough salary cap to replace them. Even on medium level (2/4) you can never even win a playoff game. It’s pretty stupid. For me, having to go in and change the default settings to turn down injuries and turn up the accuracy of scouting really ruins the rpg aspect of a game like this. Also, your team often loses to opponents that have way less of a rating than you, but you almost never win if the opponent has even a rating just a couple points higher. In summation, the arrogance of the developer really shines through on this game. It’s designed to be frustrating rather than rewarding. And oh btw, they were too lazy or just plain stupid to give you an adequate tutorial as well!Show lessJeter24jersey
Literally one issue
I’ve always loved this game and I just came back to it recently ( on hard not sure if it affects the issue) I love most of the changes they made except now when I’m negotiating with a player I can literally make 2 offers then it’s done I can no longer negotiate I can only resign the player if I have my staff do it? I feel like this must be a bug because of how annoying and pointless it is but if it’s a feature I really hope they revert it to how it was maybe instead of only allowing 2 offers give the player a chance to increase his demand after a bad offer? The change genuinely makes the off season significantly more excruciating and annoying for what should be the most important part of the game. Still love the game! just hope they change that horrendous featureShow lessSwimPorpoise
Close to perfect
I spent hours on this game, it’s definitely one of my favorite apps in a long time. Fun to build rosters and managing cap space. There’s just a few things I’d love to be worked on. A more in depth scouting/drafting because in hard mode it’s just looking at combine stats and guessing. Also managing team morale I think would be cool, dealing with their individual personalities, and doing more with the news section. Lastly just more customization options and being able to be female. Anyways great game, I’m hoping for future success.Show lessTALAN M8
Some Great, Some Issues
The draft system, negotiating, and in-season stuff is very solid and fun. Most of the game is fantastic. The only thing I don’t enjoy is the coaching system. A lot of times you’ll get screwed if you don’t have your coaches on the same page which makes sense, but I think there should be some kind of mechanic where the head coach defers the schematic stuff to the coaches, that way you aren’t forced to hire 73 ovr coordinators when there are 99 ovr coordinators available for the right price. A couple of ideas: 1) there could be a new type of head coach, the “CEO” type 2) have some kind of agreeableness stat where a coach is more or less willing to change tendencies based on who his other coaches are 3) have the philosophies of the coaches be adaptable towards how the roster is constructed, at least to some degree. Love the game, keep making it great!Show lessThe Citative
Great game
Awesome game. really great as a sim sports engine. My one request would be to have the option of doing some sort of fantasy draft. This is a feature in madden 24 and would take this game to the absolute highest level. I recommend this game to anyone who likes football/ the nflPkqgd
Amazing!!
Never have I felt so compelled to write a review for an app. This game is amazing! You can upload current rosters from Reddit. The gameplay is fair but also fun. The game dev is super responsive on reviews and Reddit. It’s really nice to see someone who actually cares about their app and fun gameplay. I would have paid $20 easily for this if I knew what it was before purchase. Wayyyy better than Madden if you’re looking for an immersive GM mode. 100% would support this creator again! Well done sir!Show lessHeyZeus22

Appreciate your support and review!Love the Game, but frustrating not getting feedback
Great game! I’ve been playing for years off and on. I love the whole experience, but sometimes I create a highly rated team and despite that they lose. I would love a way to know what’s going wrong so it doesn’t feel so random. Maybe media commentators that can say stuff like, “this offensive system isn’t working” “this coach needs to be fired” and stuff like that, because it’s immensely frustrating losing with a good team and not even knowing what needs to change.Show lessexasperatedgorilla
Keeps Getting Better
Love this game. It keeps getting better, because the developer clearly cares and responds to suggested/desired features - quickly. Very impressive.
Some basics are still missing. Uniform/color pallet editing. Some teams don’t have the right color pallet - ATL jumps out. Primary color is black, not red. Also, I struggle with the brightness of too much red or orange in the headers for some of these teams. Might be a personal preference issue. The darker color headers are definitely easier on the eyes - accented by a pop of bright color.Show lesssamwiseworks

Great review and feedback. Thanks for spending the time to give good constructive feedback. My mantra with this game is to make it what the users want and comments like this are vital. As timing would have it, player editing is about to be released. You can get an early preview of this in the beta (details available on pocket gm subreddit). Other points taken on board and I’ll look to address. JonGreat GM game
Don’t need a long message to describe this game. Leaving it short and sweet: 5/5 rating. I’m addicted.usbhh
Incredibly worth it.
I will spare you the details of the game, the obvious time put into this game having never played the previous titles but searching for a game I can play with and have a long term league creating pretty much whatever experience you want is incredible. If you are looking for a fun football simulation to run your own team and try to become the best or experiment with editing your own players or others around the league this app is just incredible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Show lessTheBelgianKing1001
