At 52 you’d think (as my wife tells me) I’d be too old for ‘games’ My response “This isn’t a game, it’s more important than that” as I grab my first skill 3 transfer midfielder….i needed him! KT is clearly capable of updating or improving the original but the class in keeping the basics of the original mean I can stick some earphones in and hopefully get what will be a strategic, well earned promotion 🤞🏻 ### 5/5 — Chris *2026-04-09, version 6.2.37* Football Manager ### 5/5 — Superb game. *2026-01-30, version 6.2.37* Great game from the master of football management games. This really brings back memories and its just as addictive as the original. Bargain price too. Kevin Toms is a legend. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-09-28* Really enjoyable but after playing for 20 seasons the transfer market becomes impossible. I have £1000m in the bank but virtually NO 5 star players become available any more. Mainly 1 and 2 star players with the odd 5 star keeper. Please put a fix in place to ensure that transfer market is realistic especially after investing time over 20 seasons. Brilliant game though. My thanks Kevin **Developer response:** I am glad you are enjoying the game. About the transfer market there is no fixed reason that you would only get 1 or 2 star players. But chance can happen. I have had it happen for a full season then it changed. I will look into it to see if there is a bug though. You can further discuss with me using the support email support@kevintoms.atlassian.net ### 1/5 — Just terrible *2025-09-04* This lacks all the charm of the original and offers nothing in return. Quick overview: it’s easier and more fun to play the original. Longer rant: Interface is appalling, when there’s a goal it shows the time (Kevin said in an interview he didn’t include the time originally to add to the suspense - this takes it all away), removing and selecting players is fiddly and rubbish, the font is rubbish, the main menu is rubbish, etc. This game could have been so good, but it’s emphatically not. I’m not sure where the love is coming from; it doesn’t even invoke nostalgia it’s so weird and different from the original. **Developer response:** I respect your opinion and sorry to hear that it was not what you were looking for. The interface and look is meant to be retro, it is not modern, it is functional. I will explain the timer point. The game doesn't show a continuous "How much time is left" - that is the important point to maintain uncertainty. Showing the time of an actual goal, still does not indicate how many attacks are possible in the remaining time, the uncertainty remains. ### 3/5 — How to report a bug *2025-08-20, version 6.0.2* I just bought this and found a bug, how do I get it to you? ### 2/5 — So disappointing. *2025-01-19* I really wanted to love this, I spent so many hours on the Spectrum playing the original FM in the 80’s that perhaps, my hopes were set too high. Playing on the iPad the first thing I noticed was there are four divisions of only 16 teams, and you only play each team once. This makes the seasons really short. There isn’t a fixture list, you can’t see what round of the cup you’re playing in, you can’t see the whole squad on one page as everything is double line spaced. Further, you can buy 5* players for a few quid whilst in div 4 but once you’re in div 1 they cost 10 times as much. I know this game replicated much of the original but there was an opportunity to make so many little improvements that weren’t taken and fundamentally the game is not challenging enough to hold your attention. On level 4 difficulty I’d won the first division and both cups in my 4th season and then just stopped playing. Is there any point starting again at a higher difficulty level? I doubt it, if anything it just means that I’ll lose more games against obviously weaker opposition. It’s just such a missed opportunity. **Developer response:** Unfortunately the things you are not liking are the things I was asked to create. People wanted me to faithfully reproduce my original and many people love it for the similarity and game play. I discussed with players about adding new features and they asked me to leave it alone. So, I separately created a new game, Football Game 2, which is also available, and which allows me to evolve the game from its retro roots step by step. The star ratings of players are related to the division you are in. The difficulty increases with every skill level. At 4 it is moderate, there are 3 more to go. But the point with difficulty is the game is designed to allow people to choose the difficulty, or challenge they prefer. ### 4/5 — Memories *2024-12-11, version 6.0.2* This takes me back to some good times in my teens (I’m 57 now!) playing this for hours on my Commodore 64. It’s good on the app but one issue, I don’t get the pictures of the trophies on my iPhone 15. Any ideas? ### 5/5 — Excellent apart from. *2024-09-12* I feel like I’m 10 years old again playing this.. only discovered it yesterday.. amazing.. only downside maybe is.. only 1 transfer player to look at per week.. no full transfer market to look at.. I love and remember that it’s so basic.. without this game .. the others wouldn’t exist.. Kevin toms take a massive bow..you well and truly deserve it sir.. thank you for taking me back 🥰 ### 5/5 — Serious bug on recent release *2024-07-06, version 6.0.2* An excellent so 5 stars, however the latest release seem to have made it unplayable. Sat on a train and had to quit it before i can get 3 games in! ## Frequently asked questions about Kevin Toms Football * Manager ### What is Kevin Toms Football Manager?
