### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-04-05, version 23.6.0*

Good game it really jnsteresting

### 1/5 — bad game

*2025-08-10, version 23.6.0*

it’s good at the first season bit after you’re rookie year, it makes you pay to play another season

### 5/5 — Funny glitch

*2025-06-20*

My rookies never sign with me after I draft them???

### 3/5 — The game has potential

*2023-09-20*

I love gm style games and this one has potential. I think this game should consider adding a mode where the games are day to day. With 1 game each day at a set time it will give it more of a season type feel and add a more interesting approach to game preparation each day. This can be be done as P v CPU ,or P vP. It would also be nice if you made a way for players to communicate and build communities within the game, with the ability to conduct our own leagues/ Associations. Also I don’t know if you can but could be get a 2D top view of the live game. This would make you game better than any other game easily. But really think you guy should focus on the pvp side of things

*2023-08-03*

Would just love for them to add more nations to the World Cup since it would make the game a lot more enjoyable

### 5/5 — 9.5/10

*2023-07-11*

this game is awesome, near everything in this game is done to perfection, the only down sides are players stop progressing after turning around 24. And how mvp are decided just picking the guy who averaged the most points. it should implement assists Fg% and rebounds. And the last thing to make this game amazing would be play the games.
