Not the best

Just started doesn’t seem the best first glimpse! Changing my players out every game and the league table actually looks like it’s upside down, city got back to back relegation’s first 2 seasons!players I’ve put on the transfer list hardly ever get bid for,hopefully it improves but have a feeling it was mistake buying the game, £3 is nothing but still.
Plus why is my review not showing?!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback, I'm sorry you aren't enjoying it so far. I will look into the issues that you have reported and will release an update in the near future. I release updates frequently and always try to incorporate player feedback as much as possible.

Fab game!

Great little game to rival Football/Championship Manager at a fraction of the cost. Brilliant playability. Love it!!!

Good

Game runs a bit slow on the iPhone 17 pro max. Sluggish to close player profiles, can’t seem to make a sub during a match. It has a lot of promise though.

Adjusted my review, my own stupidity held me back! Very good game for the price.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into the sluggishness issue. To make a substitution during a match, pause the game, select the player on the pitch you wish to substitute and then select a player on the bench to replace them.

Love the game

Not been playing long but I love it already. Lots of depth to the game and plenty of stats and playability, combining the stat focused original Championship Manager games with the extra bits you get to do with the Premier Manager games like sponsorships and Stadium upgrades. Comes with an edit feature too so you can change the team names to real names. Well worth it.
