## What is Academy Soccer Manager?

You are the manager of a youth football team. You develop your players and aim to win the competitions. You choose where to start: a high school team in Japan or Korea, or the academy of a professional club in England, Spain or Germany.

This is a paid app. There is no limit on how many years you can manage. There are no ads.

■ Where you start
- Japan: a high school team. You climb from the prefectural league to the regional leagues and play the summer tournament and the winter championship.
- Korea: a high school team. You play the weekend league in two halves, the champions' tournament, the national sports festival and the summer nationals.
- England: a professional club's academy. You play an U18 league by category, the national youth cup and the U18 elite cup.
- Spain: a professional club's academy. You play a regional youth league, the champions' play-off and the national youth cup.
- Germany: a professional club's academy. You play an U19 league, the national finals and the U19 national cup.
Each country has its own calendar, competitions, names and scenery. An academy runs on its parent club's budget, and the best players sign professional contracts with the first team. Players from other countries are on the books too.

■ Training
Each week you choose a session — technique, physical, tactics, set pieces, a practice match or rest — and that decides which attributes improve. Tired players get injured more easily; rested ones improve more slowly.

■ How players develop
Every player has his own growth curve and ceiling. One-to-one coaching brings on a group of attributes or a single one. Players pick up special abilities, and some get a unique ability and a nickname that stays in the records.

■ Matches
Eleven players move by themselves, guided by your tactics and selection. Watch from three cameras or skip to the result. Every match records goals, assists, saves and a mark out of ten. Goal replays can be exported as video and shared.

■ Tactics
You set the shape, each player's role and duty, how high the defensive line sits, how hard the team presses, and the tempo in attack. You can save up to five tactics as presets.

■ National teams
There are U-17, U-20, U-23 and senior tournaments. When your players or former players are called up, their caps and goals are recorded at each age group. Players of other nationalities who play for their own country are recorded too.

■ World tournament and awards
Win every major domestic competition in one season and you are invited to the Academy World Cup, where club academies from around the world meet. Each year the top ten for the world player of the year and the youth player of the year are announced.

■ After they leave
Former players go on to university, the domestic professional leagues or leagues abroad. The alumni list follows their careers through to retirement. The records screen picks an all-time best eleven from former and current players.

■ Running the club
You manage the funds, morale, facilities, staff, scouting, training camps and prize money. Fans grow with wins and cup runs, and show up in the crowd and the support at the stadium.

■ Rankings
You can compare your records with other players online, in categories such as national titles, world titles, market value and fans.

■ Languages and currency
Available in English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish and French. Money can be shown in yen, won, pounds, euros or dollars.

■ Saves
There are three save slots, so you can run teams in different countries at the same time. Saves back up to iCloud and carry over to a new device.

■ Price
This is a one-off purchase, not a subscription.
The only in-app purchase is the custom player (one per in-game year, with a name, a look and a position you choose).

All schools, clubs, players and competitions are fictional.

### 5/5 — とても面白い！

*2026-10-12*

GKがキャッチした後に、目の前の相手FWに渡してしまうのを修正してほしいです

### 4/5 — 楽しい

*2026-10-05*

買い切りのオプションも買って楽しんでますけどあんだー日本代表の選ばれる時期難しくないですか！  
強くなってきても強い人たちが日本代表に行って予選勝てないんだすけど私のやり方が悪いですか？？
ここが上手いこと改善されると嬉しいです！
楽しいので期待してます

### 5/5 — とても楽しくプレイしていますが、、、

*2026-09-30*

毎日夢中になるほど遊んでいるのですが、卒業生がプロになったり、社会人チームに入った後に移籍したりせずステップアップがないので今後入れていただけると教え子の動向をチェックしたりする楽しさが増えると思います！
よろしくお願いします。

### 3/5 — 県大会について

*2026-09-25*

県大会の一回戦が全部同じ高校となのですが仕様ですか？初戦で毎度負けるので弱小や中堅スタートだと希望がないです。できれば毎大会組み合わせをランダムにしてくれたらリアリティも出ていいのかなと。

### 3/5 — 難しい

*2026-09-24*

このゲームをプレイして4日目？になるんですが、ポジション適性のところだったり、弱将校からスタートさせたとして、そこから選手を効率よく強くして行くためにはどうすればいいのか？？

### 5/5 — 急いでなおしてほしい

*2026-09-24*

速報のとこの表示バグってる
殿堂の輩出したプロのとこ海外の人数と実際の人数がつり合ってない

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！
いただいたご意見をもとに次回アップデートで対応させていただければと思います！

### 3/5 — 面白いが

*2026-09-20*

資金が全然増えない

### 4/5 — 自分がゲーム性を理解してないのもあるけど....

*2026-09-17*

それにしても弱小状態からのスタートがあまりにも救いがなさすぎる
部員数も常にギリギリで怪我しがち

借金をしてでも育てるほうがいいのかな？

このゲーム自体はとても好きです。

追記
実績の部分の教え子が海外クラブへ行くが解除されない

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2026-09-14*

ユーザーの意見をしっかり取り入れてくれる数少ないゲーム。
今後のアプデも期待してます！

**Developer response:** ご報告いただきありがとうございました！
バージョン1.4.0にて修正いたしました。
引き続き当アプリをお楽しみいただけると嬉しいです！

### 3/5 — 改善を要求

*2026-09-13*

資金を使うところをもっと増やして欲しい！屋内施設はあるけど芝を天然とか人口とか弱い時は砂からとかできると思います。また、4月になったらボールやベンチ、スパイクを買い替えたり(種類によって練習効果が変わる)とかある程度使ったら壊れるとあると資金を使う仕様になると思います。
施設がマックスになってるのに疲れやすかったり怪我が長かったり怪我を早く回復させる施設や道具などを資金で解決できる助かります。
雨が降ってたら室内の施設を買ってるので室内施設の画面は変えて欲しいです。
都道府県も4月などで変えられたら対戦相手も変わる為、飽きも来ないと思います。
選手のポジションを変えると能力値が変わると思うんですが反映されてない時が多々あります。
また、違う選手の能力値になってることがあり困りましたので直して欲しいです。

**Developer response:** プレイしていただきありがとうございます！
賞金、ポジション保証について、優先して修正していきたいと思います。
