Absolute joke, done a whole transfer window for the game to crash on the first match and all my progress, signings, sales etc undone. A really fun game ruined by terrible developing and lack of interest in bug fixing. Will sadly be uninstalling ### 2/5 — Register problem *2025-10-17, version 1.6.1* I try to log in the account, but its start to give a warning about “ we have a network problem, its impossible to register… how can i fix that? ### 5/5 — Great game but.. *2025-10-09, version 1.6.1* You can’t make a account anymore, loses a lot of valuable content ### 5/5 — Fantastic game. Been looking for something like this for so long *2025-08-11, version 1.6.1* Perfect, but I’m not allowed to make an account and buy premium. It says “network error” ### 5/5 — It needs more updates *2025-06-08, version 1.6.1* The game is fine but it needs more updates. ### 1/5 — Still RIP Karza Forever *2022-04-22, version 1.6.1* You Lost It. ### 4/5 — Good game could use work *2022-02-19, version 1.6.1* This game is honestly great , wish it had more story like march interviews or post match interviews , scenarios for players that affect the game , national teams would be a nice addition. Overall 7/10 it’s missing a couple things to make it amazing but overall still very enjoyable! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2021-10-13, version 1.6.1* Is it any way possible that u can do this same exact thing but use real-life players, teams, etc… honestly a dream game and would be worth money! ### 4/5 — Builds on the previous game - but there’s some bugs. *2020-12-05, version 1.6.1* So, I love this game. I loved the original, and now I love this. It’s charming, fun, and strategic. But there are a couple bugs, one in particular, as in, the game completely freezes every 5 matches or so. I’m not entirely sure why, but ever 5 or 4 matches, always a few minutes after halftime, the game just... freezes. Nothing happens. You have to close and open the app, and just restart the game. For me, the ads are bearable. You guys have to make money somehow! So, don’t worry about that side of things. There’s a few more slightly odd things I’ve noticed, I’ve no idea if they’re deliberate or not, but I think they’re worth mentioning: - Teams in the premium league, all their players are rated in the 60s, or the 90s. There’s scarcely any rated in the 70s o 80s, or in between. I just find that unusual honestly. - In four seasons, I haven’t had a single red card, so the Lawyer staff is kind of unnecessary - There’s a cheat (and it was the same in Karza) where you can hire a full set of the Average staff after that very first game where you get relegated, before you click new season for the first time... I suppose cool things for the future might be more variety in positions, so for example instead of just midfielders, there could be right mids, centre mids, left mids, etc. But again, I really do love this game. That’s why I’ve written such a lengthy review! Keep it up, and best wishes for the future! ### 1/5 — Görme engelliyim *2020-10-05, version 1.6.1* Oyun ekram okuyucuyla çalışmıyor kör olduğum için oynayamıyorum ilgilenin lütfen ## Frequently asked questions about Pixel Manager ### What is Pixel Manager: Football 2021?
