Even coming out of the game and reloading ends up with endless waiting. Also, if you then start a new game, you lose all the achievement points you’ve gained and have to start from zero again, which seems unfair. **Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this bug. I'll look into it shortly. ### 5/5 — Jeu vraiment sympa mais… *2023-05-05* Le jeu est vraiment bien, et le premier jeu de foot de gestion qui me captive autant car simple et efficace, mais le temps d attente avec le calendrier notamment avec les nombreuses poses pour cohésion entre coéquipiers, ce serait bien de changer cela et de permettre une avancée dans les jours plus fluide et rapide, merci **Developer response:** Merci pour ce retour. Ta remarque est tout à fait pertinente et je vais la prendre en compte pour la prochaine mise à jour. Bien à toi ### 4/5 — Hard to organise the players *2023-04-30* Another good game from an inventive developer. I like playing the game but it’s hard to move your players around to organise your team. I have to scroll up and down all the time and it’s difficult to see which players go in which position. I don’t like the swap function either. If you can make it easier to select your team, it would be awesome. Update I’ve played the game now for a week. It is a bit difficult to quickly see which players play in each position. If you could somehow combine the Selection screen functionality with the Team screen functionality that would help. For example be able to select the Centre Forward position and see which players you have… I am enjoying the game and have upgraded my rating to a 4 star. Thank you **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. I will take it into account for future updates. Best regards ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-04-24* Great game but it would be nice if there was a development side of things so that you could train up young players. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestion for improvement. ### 5/5 — The bug again *2023-04-21* The WC and continental Cups somehow have my own team playing games disguised as other teams despite not qualifying, and it leads to teams playing 4 games in a tournament at times Edit: thanks for the update, and due to the fox I have upgraded my review to a 5 star one Edit 2: theres a new bug where if I try to delete an unscouted player it won’t let me **Developer response:** Thank you very much for reporting this bug. This was due to a bad reset of the calendar at the end of the season. The bug is fixed in version 1.8 of the game, available in the next few hours. If you have any other errors, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at contact@pinkmonkeygames.com. Best regards Julien ### 4/5 — Another good game *2023-04-19* I’ve been a fan of quite a few of the games you’ve made so far, and they’re good quality. In this game however, it seems to play very very slow (ie one day per continue click). Also maybe incorporate a salary aspect for managers which could subsequently be spent at a casino game like roulette or blackjack, or at items/properties that give small bonuses that reset every play through. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions for improvement. ### 5/5 — не понятно *2023-04-14* Не понятно как поднимать химию в команде. Когда выигрываешь, бывает, что химия падает на -0,3. И так регулярно. Как поднимать ее? ### 5/5 — Wahnsinnig gutes FM Spiel! *2023-04-03* Sehr geil gemacht! Wenn ihr das Spiel jetzt noch als Vereinsmannschaft Coach Spiel raus bringt.. wäre das mein Spielehighlight! Generell macht ihr wahnsinnig gute Arbeit! Für die Vollversionen der Spiele kann man auch gerne mal 2-5€ ausgeben. Macht weiter so! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank! ### 4/5 — Lioso *2023-04-03* Ordenen las posiciones y que los mc, dfc y st tengan marcas como que el defensa tenga marca verde para guiarnos **Developer response:** Gracias por sus comentarios y sugerencias de mejora. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Huge time waste *2025-09-02* This game completely wasted my time because of a huge bug. After the year 2030, no new team offers appear at all, which makes the career mode pointless. I invested hours into playing just to hit this wall. This is unacceptable. You need to fix this immediately and compensate players for the time lost ### 1/5 — А русский язык добавить нельзя было что ли *2024-04-02* ??? ### 1/5 — Purement aléatoire *2023-07-22* Tu peux avoir la meilleure fédération, meilleure équipe, les joueurs aux meilleurs positions, une cohésion correcte être supérieur aux adversaires, tu perds. Tu perds pas contre des équipes équivalentes mais contre des équipes bidons C est purement aléatoire, ça n’a pas de sens. Se faire éliminer au 1er tout plusieurs fois avec une équipe level 88 contre des équipes level 55-72-67 franchement c est nul et enleve tout plaisir de progression puisque c est très aléatoire C est répétitif et décourageant car on ne sait pas trop quoi faire de plus ou de mieux pour rendre moins aléatoire les résultats **Developer response:** Merci d'avoir signalé ce bug. Pouvez-vous me donner plus de précisions par email à contact@pinkmonkeygames.com ? Est-ce que le jeu crash et se ferme au moment du bug ? Cela survient-il au moment de valider la création de la nouvelle partie ? Merci par avance pour ces informations. Julien ### 1/5 — Does not make sense *2023-02-20* First, everyone just gets injured and has low stamina, so you basically can’t score or wins game. Secondly, the tutorial should explain more because it’s not useful. Please fix!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Choosing a defensive mentality helps to limit the drop in energy during matches. This is especially useful when your players have a low physical level. When a player's energy level is too low, let him rest during a match. Best regards ### 3/5 — Где логика? *2025-08-14* Я конечно понимаю что игра трудная, но не только что ты проигрываешь более сильным командам не 0:2 или не 0:3 а 0:11! Это слишком много даже в уровнях класса, а так игра норм ### 3/5 — Good game *2024-06-10* This is a good game but there is a spelling error on the thing it’s meant to be called soccer ### 3/5 — Cant unlock Brazil *2023-04-17* Just wondering how I can unlock the Brazil national team? I've been grinding towards becoming their manager but cant seem to unlock it. I've unlocked almost every other country and am getting tired of grinding for Brazil. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and your suggestion for improvement ### 3/5 — Decent game *2023-04-11* First off, this is a game I have been looking for for ages. The issue I have is with the skill difference between an AI team and the user's team. I sign a contract to join England right after they win the World Cup, hoping to win, you know, something. First of all, you have to supervise pretty much half the starters before the qualifiers. Second of all, even if I got the England team to an 85 rating, I still manage to lose half of the qualifiers, barely scrape past the qualifiers and then lose every game in the group stage. I played 5 years with France with an 86 rating and not once did I top the qualifiers group. As soon as I left France, they won the tournament. I don't think it's a personal issue. Maybe make it a little easier to win games. **Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback. I make adjustments to the game's balancing very regularly. Your feedback will be useful for the next updates. Best regards ### 4/5 — Make names more realistic *2025-07-22* I think a really necessary QOL change that needs to happen for this game is making generated names more realistic for the country you are playing. It’s odd as a South American country to have a lot of Scandinavian names. ### 4/5 — Good Job *2024-12-01* I like the game but I have one question. How many seasons does the simulation go on for? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice game but formations *2026-07-20* Hello could you add some new formations like 4 -2- 4 and ect anyways its a nice game ### 5/5 — Best game in a odd way *2026-06-27* The only thing I have problems with is that the names are not right ### 5/5 — Can we get a part 2? *2026-06-18* Ive really enjoyed this game and I think if you expanded on what’s already here it’d be an awesome experience ### 5/5 — Rien à dire *2025-08-26* C’est un jeux incroyable ### 5/5 — Good Game! *2024-11-25* Great game overall, but I have some questions. I have been doing a Moldova save to win the World Cup with Moldova. My level is 76, facilities are very good, and I am usually getting to round of 16 or Quarters. However, I am not quite sure how to get a good cohesion level. Despite all my good stats my cohesion is only 54. I feel like it could really help me get further in tournaments if it was better. So, if you don't mind, can you help me? (p.s. Would be a five star game I just put that because I didn't know all about the game. I will change it to five if i figure it out. Good job keep up the good work!) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-03-24* Love all your games. But this has to be my favourite. I enjoy starting at the bottom and working your way to the top. I would love to see a club level version of this game. I would honestly be addicted to it 😂😂. Definitely worth playing and would recommend ### 5/5 — Nomes de jogadores conforme nacionalidade *2024-01-31* Jogo muito bom! Dá pra ficar horas entretido. A única coisa que me incomoda são os nomes de novos jogadores, que quase nunca correspondem às respectivas nacionalidades. Por exemplo: acontece de surgir na Arábia Saudita um jogador com o nome Dimitrii Sakymoto, que é uma mistura de eslavo e japonês, o que não faz muito sentido, pois deveria vir alguém que soasse árabe. Aí, no geral, isso faz diferença, pois todos os times acabam ficando misturados com nomes de várias nacionalidades, o que atrapalha a imersão. Então, fica a sugestão pra que haja uma correção nesse ponto. ### 5/5 — Super jeux *2024-01-24* Bonjour, Vos jeux sont extraordinaires, vivement d’autre jeux de ce genre, ce jeux a quelque défauts, mais pas important, un jeux vraiment super, serait-il possible de crée le même jeux mais pour des clubs ? Sinon super jeux a continuer !!! ### 5/5 — Très bon jeux !!👍 *2023-11-11* Le jeux est vraiment bien mais si, comme moi, on a acheté l’éditeur de joueurs se serait bien de pouvoir modifier le poste et l’âge comme ça on peut garder nos joueurs préférés à l’infini 😁. ### 5/5 — Es un gran juego *2023-05-11* Buen juego de gestión ligero.Perfecto para ratos muertos porque los partidos son rápidos.Además si el juego tiene algún fallo se resuelve en poco tiempo.Juegazo. P.D.Recomiendo jugar lo máximo posible con una selección pequeña para disfrutar más la progresión :) **Developer response:** Muchas gracias por tu comentario y por señalar este error. Lo revisaré de inmediato. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
