### 5/5 — Gutes Game

*2026-09-14*

Sehr gutes Spiel, aber würd mir wünschen , wenn es mehr ältere Saisons geben würd . Vor 1974

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht haben. Wir werden dies untersuchen und für Sie beheben. Grüße Coast Gaming

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-09-06*

One of the best mobile football games I’ve ever played, I normally get bored of a game after about a week but I’ve been playing this everyday for hours for nearly a month now. I really hope it gets an update to add the 26/27 season in and being from wales would love the Welsh leagues being available. Best mobile game out there highly recommend

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. The new updated game will be out next week, RFM27, thanks for your support. Regards Coast Gaming

### 5/5 — Editing players and club

*2026-08-31*

Add editing player overalls,and club and adding my own players. But it is a good game

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback, all good points, the updated RFM27 game will be out next week. Regards Coast Gaming

### 4/5 — Add the “Change captain” button back please.

*2026-08-26, version 26.3.7*

For some reason you can’t change captain and that really annoys me because it has to be the same player as the captain for  every season and it makes that player really tired and I can’t rest him unless he gets injured. That’s my only problem with this
 game.

### 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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Let us know how you would like to see the game improved at support@coastgaming.co.uk, regards

### 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

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and feedback. The bug with players disappearing has been fixed. Fixing the South American competitions is on the list for immediately after we get a stable RFM27 out there. The updated game will be out next week. Regards and thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review, Coast Gaming

### 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

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis et vos commentaires, tous de bons points, le jeu RFM27 mis à jour sortira la semaine prochaine. Cordialement, Coast Gaming

### 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*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Really great to heat that you enjoy what we have created. Regards Coast Gaming

### 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.
