Thé project itself is great, just imo thé game need some fix… every time à pop up came in thé game I need to leave thé game and reload to see it because the main page freeze and at the postseason moment I can just pass week and nothing happen so when it come to 6/6 on postseason I can pass 100 week nothing happen ..And I think if thé game have some more option like the transfer portal active (in 10 season in game I didn’t see any player on the portal..) and some more options maybe on the players developpement can be great too ! Honestly great game I love the project itself but need some fixes and some more option to be a very good football game ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Booo *2026-08-10* Update the game brah u js tryna grab quick money ### 1/5 — Freezes after one season *2026-07-21* . ### 1/5 — I was a fan…. *2026-07-17* Well I was a fan it’s a really great concept and fun game until you realize it just stops working after the first couple of seasons. Seeing as the bugs and that specific issue has been complained about before but not fixed this seems like a cash grab instead of a game actually meant for the fans. ### 2/5 — Continue to freeze *2026-07-26* Game continues to freeze. Only the Qb wins player of the game. ### 2/5 — Premium *2026-07-25* Would like to be able to purchase but can’t and even if I could I would have to consider the steep pricing it’s $8 just to unlock 1 state and then $25 to unlock every state seems a little much to me. ### 2/5 — Won’t let me purchase superstar mode *2026-07-09* Bug ### 3/5 — Suggestions *2026-08-24* Update is good and game got better but could use some more improvments. 1. When editing a team any team i would love to edit there division and overall. I seen the new update giving us that but only for your selected team. I would love to create divisions and edit overalls for every team. 2. When editing a team and going to the schedule in the district Standings there is a bug where you still see previous team name which makes it confusing. 3. LOGOS. This game should definitly add custom logos. Either generic options or upload options. 4. News paper glitch. When edit a team and simulate a game the old team name pops up. Weird glitch. Hopefully this helps in finding bugs and help with suggestions. ### 3/5 — BUG and Suggestions. *2026-08-19, version 1.2.2* Edit teams and works but when i check the standings it shows previous team name including the news paper headlines showing the previous team name. Suggestion. 1. Custom Logos 2. Custom divisions 3. Team Overall Edit Just the little things would make this game really really good. ### 3/5 — Rev *2026-07-17* Games is good wish that it didn’t keep kicking me out the game and freezing. For some reason premium can’t be purchased hopefully these bugs get fixed so we are able to enjoy the game ### 3/5 — Bro *2026-07-17* Game freezes and can’t progress after you win a state championship. You can’t even start a new one without completely resetting the game, and when you do you have to rebuy the state unlock, so I’ve paid twice already for the same state (yes ik dumb idea but I still see potential I just hope he fixes ts) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-10* It’s a amazing game but there’s a bug when if recruit a player they don’t show up on my team roster and I can’t play them ### 5/5 — Great Improvements – One of the Best Football Management Games on Mobile *2026-08-01* I’ve come back to update my original review because the developer deserves credit. Most of the bugs I originally mentioned have been fixed, and many of the additions inspired by community feedback have made the game much more enjoyable. I really appreciate that the developer listens to players and continues improving the game. It’s refreshing to see that level of dedication. There are still a few issues I’d like to see addressed: Remaining Bugs * There’s still a bug when advancing into a new season occasionally. Restarting the app fixes it, so it’s not game-breaking, but it would be nice to see it resolved. * The High School Transfer Portal still doesn’t appear to function properly. * The “Convince Player” feature can be tapped multiple times for your own players, which guarantees they’ll stay on the roster. I think you should only get one chance to convince them, and after that the player should make their final decision whether to stay or leave. Future Ideas * Coordinators getting poached by rival high schools or college programs. * Sanctions for cheating, recruiting violations, or accepting bribes to add more realism and challenge. * The ability to recommend or guide graduating seniors toward certain colleges, especially if you’ve built relationships with those programs. * Individual training plans for each player instead of only a team-wide training focus. * A training information screen explaining exactly what each training category improves. Right now, Strength and Film Study seem to produce the biggest overall rating increases, while the effects of the others aren’t as clear. One thing I’d also love to see is an official Discord server or Reddit community. It would be a great place for players to discuss the game, share ideas, report bugs, preview future updates, and help bring more people into the community. I’ve had a lot of fun playing this game and would love to see it continue to grow. Overall, this has become one of my favorite football management games on mobile. The developer has shown they’re willing to listen and improve the game, and that’s something I really respect and appreciate. I’m excited to see where it goes from here. ### 5/5 — Different Experience *2026-07-26* This is the first game I’ve came across and had a chance to be a high school coach. Real schools and districts. If you like simulation sports games this game is not a bad option. ### 5/5 — You only get one season before it crashes *2026-07-26* Had my whole second season planned just for it to instantly kick me out everytime you try and advance… this is happening on all 5 my friends devices too ### 5/5 — Meh *2026-07-16* Ok game without premium. Premium is so much. ### 5/5 — Bugs *2026-07-15* It keeps kicking me from the app ### 5/5 — I was a fan now I’m not smh *2026-07-09* It’s a Really great idea love everything about it but it’s very buggy after 1 season. Needs a good update . The new update is now just a money grab no respect for the consumer ### 4/5 — 1 more thing to make the game great *2026-08-22* Can you guys add a conference alignment ### 4/5 — Better update *2026-08-16* Games been a lot better since the new update but still alot of bugs, would like it to track stats better on 2 way players and also all players (no way only 7 players should hold stats) Also a lot more commitments should be happening but it drops at the end of the In the analytics you should also hold a binder for sacks, int, receiving yards, and tds. a national/state ranking player system in dynasty would be cool A full state team ranking instead of by classes/Division would be fire Also a trophy case for you championships, previous stats/mvps, or also a record holder area ### 4/5 — Great Concept, Bugs Need Fixing and Pay to Play *2026-07-19* This is a great concept of a game and I’m enjoying it highly. There are a lot of bugs that occur after your first season. • Players other than the QB stop recording stats. • There aren’t enough generated players to fill the roster • High School Transfer Portal doesn’t work. • After being promoted to OC from Position Coach can’t receive any job offers or look for some yourself. GREAT IDEAS • Dynamic recruit star rankings that rise and fall throughout the season for players. • College Scouts attending games to evaluate recruits, and your coordinators for jobs. • Former players donating to the program once making it to the Professional League. • The ability to influence a recruits college decision. And or having a pipeline directly for players to go to a certain college. More realistic player individual player development. Also Players that get injured don’t heal throughout the course of the season so you’re kinda just left on an island. All in a a great game that’s fun just needs work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
