### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-29*

One of the funnest games I’ve ever played on mobile

### 5/5 — Addicting! (Caution to older phones)

*2026-08-13*

Played the free version a bunch and was absolutely addicted so I bought pro! Despite this being a heavy sim game that drains CPU, it still runs really well on my iPhone 14 and only the saving speed slows down decades into a campaign. If you do have an older phone I would be careful about investing in the mobile version because it will likely be substantially slower for you. Instead consider the PC version!

### 5/5 — Magnificent

*2026-08-11*

Wow

### 4/5 — Games almost perfect

*2026-08-10*

There’s a few things to make this game perfect for example the development for some reason the players develop very slowly but there is a solution which is putting the development monthly to full and normal development to full aswell. The game crashes quite often but otherwise this is 100x better then ea’s slop garbage they put out every year

### 1/5 — Save hell!

*2026-08-08*

If you like a game where everything takes 30-60 seconds to load or save then this is for you. Oh right you need to save after doing anything because the game crashes constantly…

### 5/5 — Best hockey sim game

*2026-08-07*

This game is so incredible that it’s way way way above anything else in a league of its own. Would recommend to anyone who is a diehard hockey fan. Great details and constant evolving each year.

### 5/5 — Best hockey manager game out there

*2026-08-03*

Incredible that this is a mobile game, the amount of detail and thoughtfulness in this game is beautiful and any hockey lover will find themselves playing this religiously. Would give it 6/5 stars if I could.

### 4/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-01*

This game is amazing I have gotten it every year since the 2023 version.  My only issue is I got the PRO version on my old Samsung phone and can’t get it to cross over to my new phone (iPhone)

### 5/5 — great game but one minor bug

*2026-07-24*

there’s some bug in lineup chemistry i think, seems no matter what my front office is there’s no time a DFD can get green or blue chemistry rating

### 5/5 — Line brawls

*2026-07-23*

Bring back line brawls plz
