### 5/5 — Top

*2026-04-13*

Ich liebe es super Spiel macht Mega viel Spaß

### 1/5 — Pay to Play

*2022-12-03*

All of the CSD games are built as a pay-to-play game. Can’t progress with job offers without paying or investing HUGE hours in the game. Injuries stack up in an unrealistic manner, pay with points.

Greedy developers.

### 4/5 — Amazing but….

*2022-05-09, version 2.0.7*

This game is absolutely amazing but the problem is that when I make a new stadium or upgrade it’s quite long and plus it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — About the game

*2021-01-02, version 2.0.7*

The game is too hard, I can’t get past 51 level

### 5/5 — Scott Bryant

*2020-08-04, version 2.0.7*

I Iove this game if it’s free manger games why do we have to money to buy players etc can you please sort it out it’s a good mangers game

### 1/5 — Décourageant

*2020-04-30*

Il fait partie des jeux où il faut absolument payer pour apprécier. Ou alors tu regardes 200 vidéos de 30 secondes et tu fais 3 matchs ou t’es même pas sûr que ça soit rentable. Le jeu est pas mal pensé à côté de ça malgré un français moyen mais c’est anecdotique. A éviter si c’est pour vouloir avancer sans payer

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-02-19, version 2.0.7*

Great fun realistic too

### 2/5 — It’s pathetic

*2020-02-01, version 2.0.7*

Good you kept it up. But it’s poor about the game. Matches and that you can only play phone view. 19 got better. And is the best in my opinion. As of the matches. The latest one is just annoying. 19 8/10
18 6/10
20 7/10

### 1/5 — Das Spiel

*2019-11-25*

Ein sehr cooles Spiel schön gestaltet da darf man weiter nicht meckern aber...
Die Preise von den Lizensen sind ja sowas von Frech, die Münzen auch überteuert, da zahle ich noch lieber 10 euro für FM20 und habe dann auch noch die originellen Ligen +Mannschaften
Ihr krieg abgesehen davon das es an sich ganz lustig ist doch nur eine One Star bemerkung

### 5/5 — Director of football 18
