### 2/5 — Slightly Dissatisfied

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.8*

Average game with some significant problems 

- the budget is impossible why on earth would my funds be halved after winning the league 

- youth players won’t/can’t resign

- the staff side of things is clunky and generally more annoying then it’s worth  

- why is there not a simple way of selling players and maybe if the board didn’t take 50% of the revenue the budget wouldn’t be a problem 

The list of minor problems with this game is honestly endless. Instead of fixing the countless issues and making the game more realistic and enjoyable, the developers seem far more focused on upselling in-app purchases, including paid coaching badges for a game where the core mechanics barely work properly. Looking through the reviews for FCM25, it seems these same complaints come up year after year. At this point, it feels like the same unfinished product is being repackaged and sold every year with little meaningful improvement.

### 2/5 — No no it’s not good enough the FCM25 24 was better

*2026-08-14*

I play from 17 to 26 but this was not good enough the 23 and 24 was better and no 
And why not big club don’t sell thier players every player have a chance to go another club in reality but in the fame no chance 
And if I update but don’t change anything like transfer manager so why i update it and when you play it like 3 or 4 seasons the game go to bored and why club budget is so low don’t say you can add i will pay my coins so no like real or other team less. Than 200 is not fair and the profit like when real get over 1.5 Billion in real in the game if you sell like 200Milion by player and no signing the profit not will be over 300 why 
And when the fcm 27 release??? If you can tell us

**Developer response:** We took the decision a while back to split our games into two games.
Football Club Management (FCM) is focused on being a Sporting Director or Chairman
First Team Manager (FTM) is focused on being a Manager/Head Coach.
If you wish to be a manager then you need to download First Team Manager
Thanks for your support.

### 5/5 — J’aime le jeu

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.8*

J’adore le jeu mais il faut donner la possibilité de diriger des nations

### 1/5 — Trash game

*2026-08-11, version 1.1.8*

Fell off compared to the older games

### 3/5 — Expensive

*2026-08-11, version 1.1.8*

It cost a lot when you are impatient

### 1/5 — A bug in the game for several years in a row

*2026-08-10*

Good afternoon! I’d like to point out that I noticed a bug in the game. 
I’ve been playing your games for several years now, and I really enjoy them…
The players on the Akhmat soccer  team are very weak, and some of their positions are incorrect too! This is the third year in a row I’ve noticed this bug!
“Sadulaev,” who plays for both the main team and the national team, and “Samorodov,” who plays for the Kazakhstan national team, are very weak! Why are they weak? Because they’re key players on their national teams and for their clubs. 
In the game, “Sadulaev” plays in the defensive midfield, but in real life, he plays as a left and right forward. 
Please fix this if it’s not too much trouble.
I’d really appreciate it. 
I’m looking forward to your reply!!

### 5/5 — Lieblingsspiel

*2026-08-10*

Ich finde das Spiel absolute klasse. Erinnert mich sehr an das frühere Hattrick. Freu mich schon auf das neue Release!
Ich würde auch begrüßen, wenn man als gestandener Manager die Möglichkeit hat auch die Nationalmannschaft zu betreuen.

Macht bitte weiter so. Ihr macht hier einen tollen Job 👍

### 5/5 — Good game with huge potential

*2026-08-05*

There is some improvements that should be made to the game. I will name one. Having a quick simulate button before entering game. Thank you

### 5/5 — update!

*2026-08-01*

### 4/5 — Good game to play

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.7*

A enjoyable game to play
