## What is Football General Manager?

Manage your team to a Championship!

Build through the draft, or through free agent signings and trades as your team competes in a 32-team league. Set your lineup as you take control of coaching duties in addition to managerial duties.

The goal of this game was to create a football management simulator for mobile devices that is fun to play, yet can be enjoyed for minutes at a time, or hours. The settings are simple enough so you can get started in seconds, simulate an entire season including off-season tasks in less than a minute, or take longer as you carefully manage your team's progress.

One in-app purchase activates all features.

Features:

- Based on NFL rules.
- Pick from one of 32 random teams.
- Use the randomized team rosters, or start with a league-wide draft.
- Set your rotation, add/drop players, trade players, and draft rookies.
- Get achievements for successful seasons, award wins, finals appearances, and championships.
- Edit team and player names.
- And more!

### 3/5 — Streaky

*2021-08-19*

Every single season, I’ll have 72-76 ovr team and yet every season (except like every 6 seasons) I’ll finish 9-7 at best. Almost every time i have a 5-3 start or better, i finish the opposite (5-3 to 3-5 etc) or if i have a bad start and want to tank, we finish the season 4-4 or 5-3 and ruin draft position. I shouldn’t be 7-1 losing to 0-4 teams at home. It’s annoying and frustrating

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-01-18*

Probably one of the poorest ran apps I have ever seen. This is bad. Don’t waste your time okay?

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2021-01-04*

I kinda liked it at first but then every time I would do a simulation it would put at like 4-12 3-13 stuff like that

### 1/5 — It wants you to spend money

*2021-01-01*

Playing is slow unless you pay

### 3/5 — Fun but needs to look better.

*2020-04-13*

Honestly, I like this game, it has all the things needed for me to be happy with the game, except that it just doesn’t look very good. The logos are just letters with maybe a symbol, and the player cards and font just look... cheap. Just make it look better, and I’ll rate it better.

### 1/5 — Very very very bad

*2020-03-27, version 2.0.4*

Need a update very soon

### 3/5 — Seems cool

*2019-11-27*

The game seems really cool! The fantasy draft is still not fixed though it freezes when I sim it which is pretty frustrating

### 1/5 — Fantasy draft doesn’t work

*2019-03-03*

Coin idea is stupid, if your going to do that let us watch videos for more.

Fantasy draft is broken and just stole 6 coins. 

Sadly game looks dead with no updates on site. Cool concept could of been way better

### 2/5 — Update

*2018-07-15*

When is the next update

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2018-05-21*

What a shame. This game had huge potential but it is far too basic and is a rip off at $6. Can only hope a big game maker grabs an idea like this and does a NFL manager game to its fullest potential.
