### 4/5 — Entertainment

*2026-08-03, version 3.0.20*

Having a game to simulate coaching in general is fun. One thing could be worked on is graphics and animations so it gives more immersive.

### 4/5 — great game but 2 concerns

*2025-12-24, version 3.0.20*

This is an awesome game to play bcause you can call plays, devolved players, and become the best coach. The only reason this is 4 stars is because 1, the clock runs way too fast. Like 35 seconds a play? That to much. Also, I think it would be cool to have audibles.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2025-10-18, version 3.0.18*

I like it litterly cause of the auto it is so lucky!!!

### 2/5 — VIP needs improvement

*2025-09-05, version 3.0.17*

Needs Improvement on VIP rewards… two uniforms, and some logos that aren’t even as good as the free logos is ridiculous.. we deserve more for the amount we’re paying.. maybe a Color editor options to choose our own three colors for the uniforms, and maybe 1 free nationwide recruitment every weeks or something.. we deserve more incentives.. and you’d make more money.

### 5/5 — Best game

*2025-06-21, version 3.0.17*

This game is so good I bet this game so long to create because is incredible but I wish that the people were actually on the field but other than that tho is one of the best football games that I ever played so far this is right behind madden👍🏾

### 5/5 — Recruitment Points

*2025-06-02, version 3.0.17*

This game is great but i think we should be able to use our recruitment points and select who we want instead of it just being random because we play the whole tournament just to get a random 5 star we don’t want

### 5/5 — 2 things

*2025-05-24, version 3.0.16*

1 I forgot how to make legends how do o do so and 2 how to do the tutorial

### 3/5 — No replay ability easily stuck

*2025-04-18, version 3.0.16*

Can’t go back and play old levels when you get stuck it takes days to get to a point where you can even play again

### 5/5 — Update

*2025-04-15, version 3.0.16*

I really love this game and I feel like it has so much potential but its lack of updates is letting it down making players get bored and leave if this game is kept up and properly updated bringing in new plays and players then the money and popularity the game would bring would sky rocket

### 4/5 — This game

*2025-04-09, version 3.0.16*

I Normally Hate games but this one is awesome

### 5/5 — The next step

*2025-03-02, version 3.0.16*

This is a great game and I love it but it needs to go more in depth like stats and gameplay and I think you should add a trophy case for winning bowl games,this game is really fun and great  to the next step but overall it’s a great football game.

### 2/5 — Just took my team from me when I tried too come back in the app

*2025-02-19, version 3.0.16*

Need it back my team was named wavy squad and now I’m starting back over

### 5/5 — PEAK!!!!!!

*2025-01-30, version 3.0.16*

I’ve been looking for a game like this for years thank you just make the micro transactions gone BOOM!! Perfect

### 1/5 — The worst anime ever never played

*2026-05-24, version 3.0.20*

First, why are they at the bar who is determined if you get it or not but that game is worse than any football game I’ve ever seen whoever made. It sucks. I’m going to go play some rocket league now who’s better? In this trash bag.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-04-16, version 3.0.20*

Game is trash not very innovative and the random graph favors the cpu over the user especially when you have to win by 20 points. Not consistent with giving the same players to upgrade stars, even when you spend money.

### 1/5 — CHARTS ARE NOT RANDOM

*2026-04-03, version 3.0.20*

There's a spin chart to determine if the play successful or not. That wheel is not random at all. I've played multiple games where I've gotten rammed by teams that are 50 points below my team teams overall. It's not fun. And it doesn't get updated

### 1/5 — Would be 5 stars but…

*2026-03-23, version 3.0.20*

The frustration and pure BS that’s goes with completing player dreams is real. Any game that pisses me off like this gets the lowest review possible. How can I score in the 1st Qtr with a running QB when you always make me kick off even though it’s supposed to be random?

### 1/5 — Servers aren’t working

*2025-12-21, version 3.0.20*

Can’t connect to the servers - East Coast USA

### 1/5 — Worse game in history

*2025-12-06, version 3.0.20*

My opponent keeps getting green and I keep getting red.

### 1/5 — Would be 5 stars but…

*2025-06-20, version 3.0.17*

Interceptions are too difficult to acquire for Player Dreams. I’ve been stuck using the same player for weeks. All I need is one more interception but no my team will cause 6 fumbles per game but not a single interception. I’ve spent hours searching for the right opponent and boosting my pass D. Nothing works. And now the frustration is too much to continue playing. This was never a problem before but I noticed it started to happen since the last update.

### 1/5 — Cloud save

*2024-12-08, version 3.0.15*

Restore cloud save does not work

### 1/5 — Unfair advantages for the other team

*2024-11-05, version 3.0.15*

So done

### 1/5 — Totally Stupid

*2024-09-01, version 3.0.15*

I’m just writing this so if I ever see this game again I’ll remember how mindless it is. All you do is call plays off a pie chart and u can’t play it landscaped.  Mindless and stupid. Requires no skill, strategy, or knowledge whatsoever of FB. A 4 year old could play it

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-09-05, version 3.0.20*

This game is a perfect mix of a team building RPG and a football coach simulator. Its animations are great, the customization of your team as a whole is great. 
Being able to customize your roster and your playbook is one of the best qualities of the game.
But, not every game is perfect.
The game does have a couple micro transactions and some pay to win stuff, which does bring it down a bit from being perfect. 
Overall though, I think this game deserves a 5 star.
Totally recommend to any football players out there.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2026-04-04, version 3.0.20*

Everything’s Good but we Need Different Logos It’s too generic

### 5/5 — Great game has a long tutorial
