### 4/5 — A review everyone should read before getting

*2026-08-25*

A great game that has the potential to overpass every football sim game out there. A few problems though, I don’t think the results are that accurate/realistic. Building a great team you will lose to teams at the bottom of the table or worse teams nearly 90% of the time. The controls and looks of the RFM classic are so much better than the new version and the new version is very confusing at the start and hard to navigate. Overall it’s an addicting game but can be improved so much and I hope the developers read this because they have gold at their finger tips. If you’re looking to play this, Id go with the RFM classic version.

### 4/5 — J’aime bien

*2026-08-21*

J’aime bien mais je voudrais qu’on puisse écrire le nom des joueurs qu’on veut acheter et qu’on puisse choisir nos partenaires et nos formations de jeu

### 4/5 — Nice and simple

*2026-07-22, version 26.3.4*

A stripped back, classic football manager game. No complicated nuances, just buy, sell and select players. Not perfect but a really good pick up and play. You can get through a season pretty efficiently without having to spend ages number crunching.

### 3/5 — Potential

*2026-07-19*

This game has so much potential but……

Player attribute stats are confusing and really random. Top players can have lower rating stats than lower rated players?
I have to go by ability and potential stats to know who is the better player! And if you wish to buy a player you won’t know that ability unless you take him on loan first or scout him which takes weeks.
It would be great to increase the range of stats such as, Finishing, determination, free kicks?
Also would be great to be able to replace scouts as if your with a Div 3 team your scouts are poor, would be good to be able to replace them.

Other than that it is a relatively good game, as I said it has loads of potential to make it great.

Would love to see a game in the 99 - 03 era made!

### 4/5 — Bugs since update

*2026-07-19, version 26.3.3*

I’ve noticed that players aren’t removed after signing, as stated in another review. Also sometimes my game just shuts down after a game before going to the finances.

### 4/5 — Question

*2026-07-07, version 26.3.3*

Hello, the game is very good, I have a question about whether and when you will add the opportunity to play for France, Spain, Portugal and other national team

### 4/5 — Bugs in update

*2026-07-03*

I bought a player from the list of 4 that appears after a match is played. But instead of removing this player’s name from the list, the player’s name remained. I thought maybe my attempt to buy failed so I tried again twice. After I found 3 identical players in my squad! So I sold two of them for a profit. Needs fixing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for raising that, we will get it looked into and fixed. In testing we noticed that players were not being removed but did not realise you could buy them multiple times. Regards Coast Gaming

### 4/5 — pretty good

*2026-06-27, version 26.3.3*

i hope this helps

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2026-06-02, version 26.2.5*

Good if you new how well a player was actually playing when making substitutions.  A loan option would be great.

### 4/5 — Really fun but some issues

*2026-05-05, version 26.2.5*

I find this game really fun I’ve played for about 24 hours total in the past 2 days but there’s just some issues which should be easy to fix



1. this isn’t to bad of an issue but it can confuse some players, the amount of games played is always for some reason like a lot more than it is 



2. Some of the upcoming fixtures disappear like you’re about play a team in your league and then suddenly you’re not



3. A lot of really good players play for really bad league two teams which makes the game really unrealistic 


Thanks for reading this and I hope this helped.

### 4/5 — Question

*2026-04-17*

Hello, the game is very good, I have a question about whether and when you will add the opportunity to play for Russian clubs, for example

### 5/5 — Jogo top, que evolua cada vez mais, precisa de mais modernização

*2026-04-04*

10

**Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela sua ótima avaliação. Atenciosamente, Coast Gaming

### 5/5 — Need to add loans

*2026-04-04, version 26.2.5*

You need to add loans so then if they don’t get game time and they are young loan them out

### 4/5 — Good game but so hard to win

*2026-03-30, version 26.2.5*

I cant win even if I’m a good team

### 3/5 — Ads, way too many intrusive ads!

*2026-03-30*

The game genuinely looks fun and addictive until I realised there are unskippable intrusive ads after literally every match. Not sure what the ad quota means. I keep exiting the app and relaunching to save time. It’s frustrating, I give up. I’m ready to a one time fee for all saves to remove ads but that option is just there for only one save. Uninstalling the app.

**Developer response:** You can turn the ad frequency down in settings. Regards Coast Gaming

### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads…

*2026-06-22, version 26.3.3*

so. many. ads

unplayable, would be a great game otherwise

### 1/5 — Older versions are better

*2026-06-02*

Why would you ruin the game by making transfers bids such that you have to wait to maybe sign players 3 games later? That’s a huge no for me. I want the option to be able to sign the player immediately. Especially if I’m paying actual money to download seasons. Sucks that you did that as I was a huge fan of the older versions.

### 1/5 — GAMES POO

*2026-05-18, version 26.2.5*

This game is poo I genuinely have such a good squad and yet can’t get more than 2 wins in a row also there is soo many adds and I would love the ability to search players names to buy them

### 1/5 — Really fun but some issues

*2026-05-15*

UPDATE: took off 3 stars because there’s another issue that I’m really annoyed with and it’s that after I’ve been putting up with the other issues I’ve now had 2 careers that I’ve put hours into just crash they just suddenly became a white screen and I can’t play on those careers anymore I was on my 8th year with Aston Villa and it just suddenly broke

### 1/5 — Absolutely rubbish

*2026-04-09, version 26.2.5*

Can’t win a game no matter what team you put out admittedly I didn’t have the best team in the league but by far didn’t have the worst team yet finished bottom of league. Only bonus is I didn’t spend any money on it

### 1/5 — Replying to comments

*2026-03-25, version 26.2.5*

Why as it been 5 months since you replied to people’s comments.this is how you can help people with reported problems.

### 1/5 — Stats ?

*2026-03-04*

Pourquoi s’embêter à faire des stats de joueurs et d’équipes ? Même en dominant largement  tous les secteurs, quand le jeu a décidé que vous perdriez, il n’y a rien à faire. 
Ce n’est pas comme ça que vous allez inciter les joueurs à rester sur le jeu, et encore moins à dépenser de l’argent. 
Ca en devient ridicule …

### 1/5 — too hard

*2026-02-13, version 26.2.3*

U CANT WIN A DAMN GAME IM PLAYING MAN CITY AND CANT EVEN BEAT BRENTFORD WITH THE BEST PLAYERD

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-02-11, version 26.2.3*

Terrible game, no tactics and team always loses even if they are good. Need to fix this, just awful

### 1/5 — Good game but issues

*2025-12-22, version 26.2.3*

I feel like it’s impossible to win a game i dont understand how i can build super teams with high rated players in every position than the other team not sure if this is a skill issue but just makes the game unenjoyable

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-22*

I’ve been playing the RFM games and I still really enjoy them. It would be great if when you sell a player to a team outside your country they actually play for that team when you meet in international competitions. Also often in the South American leagues the games played in copa libertadores group matches can go wrong and all the teams in your group have played 12 when you only play 6 can make it difficult to qualify. I really enjoy going a team in whatever country league and restricted my self to only signing players from that country. Makes it more of a challenge

### 5/5 — Good Game, Some Improvements

*2026-08-21, version 26.3.7*

I think that more players from each team should be added, also the ratings are not realistic!

### 5/5 — Perfect For Retro Football Heads Like Me

*2026-07-24, version 26.3.4*

It’s a very good simulation experience, and the amount of retro and vintage football data in it is very impressive. It’s perfect if you long for a football manager simulator but want to use players from the 70’s to today.

### 5/5 — Rfm

*2026-07-07, version 26.3.3*

Loving the game ,good fun

### 5/5 — Diamond in the rough

*2026-06-26, version 26.3.3*

It’s genuinely insane that this game doesn’t have more downloads, I thought this was a massive game until I came to the reviews and saw only like 100. This game is legitimately the BEST manager game for keeping it simple and not having to dedicate your firstborn child to have fun on it. I’ve been using my MLS Cup winning Timbers from the 2015 season and the players are all exactly correct for the whole league. Its so nice to be able to play without having to grind out but still gives you things you need improve on

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-06-24, version 26.2.5*

What a good game to play with no Wi-Fi awesome

### 5/5 — Give it a go

*2026-06-07, version 26.2.5*

Top Game, easy to play and very addictive .

### 5/5 — RFM

*2026-05-10, version 26.2.5*

### 5/5 — o jogo está desenvolvendo muito rápido

*2026-05-07*

um dos melhores jogos de treinador

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-18, version 26.2.5*
