Game would be so much better if they did transfers updates. ### 4/5 — Transfer change *2023-08-08* This game is very good and worth it if you really like football but I am just going to say the areas they need to improve just because it’s coming to be a problem now. They need to change the transfer value of the players for example when I tried to sign caicedo given the circumstances that Brighton got relegated on my save they wanted 98 millions pibes even tho his value was 25 millions pounds ### 3/5 — Predictable computer and injury simulator *2023-08-08* Football manager gets a lot right. Well structured and a manageable amount of phone options. It’s in game realism leaves a lot to be desired and should be updated beyond the old school engine it is running on. Injury, penalty, and other events are predictable and pedestrian. ### 4/5 — The tactics destruction *2023-07-07* Each time an update comes up, my old tactics won’t work like every again and also, it’s frustrating and annoying., I hope you guys can find a way to fix that.. for example, when the fm23 came out, I was using vertical tikitaka. Everything was good, my team was playing to my satisfaction.. I loved the tactics and then the game got update for the first time since releasing the fm23, I updated mine.. went back to continue my adventure and boom. My tactics doesn’t work again.. even if I have the best players in the game in every position, the most horrible team will still beat me somehow.. vertical tiki taka was no longer an option in the game.. do something about this please and also the 433 formation.. can you please work on that? Playing three strikers in a 433 formation lol.. doesn’t make any sense.. I would like to see the real 433 in fm24 not just 4123.. there just a lot of problems in the gameplay, I hope you guys work on them and get it all fixed.. anyways keep up the good work ### 3/5 — In-games editor didn’t work *2023-04-05* After the 4.3 update, I can’t change the stat of the player. Please help me fix it. Great game btw. **Developer response:** Hello, we're sorry you are having issues.

Not every player has hours upon hours to tweak tactics, etc. and this year more than ever it’s hard to succeed without doing so ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-01-26, version 14.1.0* Simply it’s a fantastic game ### 4/5 — Another great year *2022-12-15, version 14.1.0* Great game as always. Please fix the position title for each player in their player card. For example it says Gabriel Jesus is a midfielder and Declan Rice is a defender. ### 4/5 — I hope support chinese language *2022-12-13, version 14.1.0* I hope support chinese language ### 5/5 — The best soccer / football manager game ever! *2022-12-12, version 14.1.0* My favorite game since a kid! Meaningful, super interesting and exciting, inspiring and intriguing at 250%! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Classic FM issues *2023-06-05* Fun game. But dumb things happen that no manager would ever allow to happen in real life. Winning 2-1 in the 94th minute? Don’t worry, FM will make sure you’re entire team goes forward on your corner kick so you can give up that equalizing counter attack, even if you’re instructions say otherwise. Fix the bugs. ### 1/5 — Overrated piece of trash *2023-02-18, version 14.1.0* Overrated game ### 1/5 — Badd *2023-02-17, version 14.1.0* Game is horrible ### 1/5 — 没有简体中文 *2023-02-11, version 14.1.0* Chinese ### 1/5 — CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CRASH BUG *2023-02-05, version 14.1.0* THERE IS A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CRASH BUG !!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t even play *2023-01-12, version 14.1.0* I just recently download the game on 11in iPad M1 and can’t even play. There seem to be display issue that on the manager screen, I am unable to change my nationality which equate to me unable to play the game. You would think this type of bug would not exist at the launch but apparently it can… I am already so pessimistic and I haven’t got the opportunity to play it yet 🙄 ### 1/5 — Bug with unlimited foreign players? *2023-01-04, version 14.1.0* I was playing Chinese super league and it appears that there is no limit on foreign players? It’s particularly confusing as there is no visible “rule” on this anywhere in game I could find (eg league rules)… ### 1/5 — How do I move player from reserve team to first team?! *2022-12-29, version 14.1.0* I paid 10$ for a broken game. Don’t buy on iOS ### 1/5 — World Cup *2022-12-06, version 14.0.4* It’s the World Cup my players that I’ve selected are getting injured. They never played in the first match I never got notified that they were injured in training. How are they getting injured when they aren’t playing? ### 1/5 — Can’t start the game *2022-11-28, version 14.0.4* Where’s select nationality button ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Where’s the Chinese? *2023-08-11* This game has a certain popularity in China, quite a lot of Chinese people are playing this game ### 5/5 — Unable to use a team *2023-08-01* For some reason the game doesn’t let me use Germany when I pick 2 teams. What’s up with that? The first time I downloaded the game it would let me after a few app updates I was unable to. It looks weird now because I’m playing with Düsseldorf (Germany) and when I go find there national team I have to choose a team like Spain. Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Please fix this? ### 5/5 — Best Quick Footy Manager *2023-07-16* I’ve been playing this since it’s beginning. The presentation and features are ideal for mobile play sessions. And even with FM Touch being available with Apple Arcade, I still come back to Mobile for its quick simplicity. FMM runs smooth on my old iPhone X, doesn’t overheat it like FMT does, and loads so fast. I highly recommend having the mobile version if you like managing on the go, while waiting for meetings to start, in between classes, or during those bathroom breaks. I hope FMM stays a staple of the franchise as it was my gateway into FM, and consistently my favorite mobile game. I’ve got FM, FMT on Switch and iOS devices, but I keep coming back to mobile because it’s always with me and a faster, smoother experience. Thanks SI team for another great year! ### 5/5 — Unable to coach some national teams *2023-05-30* I am Unable to coach some national teams like The Gambia and many more African and South American countries. ### 5/5 — Please Refund *2023-04-28* Please Rufund me my money back I didn’t mean to buy this game I meant to buy the Fm23 Touch game please refund!! **Developer response:** Hello, please contact help@sega.co.uk where we can provide further assistance. ### 5/5 — Amazing game, truly amazing. *2023-04-18* Ive played this game since 2019 mobile, occasionally i go back to the older football manager games. And man has it made strides to improve but one thing ive been waiting for 3 years is data base for face pack, team logos etc. If we were able to paste links or create databases which we could use, I’d think it be the biggest new feature for that years game, and it would make it more interesting. But one thing I don’t like is only be able to play for 30 years. And also not being able to simulate a whole year. Having to simulate it 1 month at a time for some experimental saves. ### 5/5 — Please add portrait mode! *2023-04-02* It would be great to be able to play the game in portrait mode. Otherwise the game is great! ### 5/5 — U-21 & Affiliates *2023-03-19* This is my favorite GM simulator out there. I’ve played it through many times. Really my only big suggestions would be: 1. Offer more options when you are managing a national team, such as being able to choose your u-21 roster (so that you can give experience to the right players) and being able to choose training options for your national team as well. 2. Offer more options for your affiliate, such as being able to improve their facilities. ### 5/5 — Honest review *2023-03-09* I love the game, i love making fixtures based on my ideas but…why so expensive? it costs 10 dollars to buy and 16+ dollars for add-ons like is it not expensive enough, i recommend the game sure but….it’s too money taking for me. ### 5/5 — Love the game but *2023-03-08* i turned off automatic weekly saves and it wouldn’t turn back on so i had to delete game to have it back on , but lost all my saves --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
