Had this for about six months now and still enjoying it a lot. There are some reviews here that are clearly from people with zero patience. Ignore them, start humble and work your way up through the leagues. Things I’d like to see added to get all five stars: A free kick specialism, maybe the ability to train two or three players to improve the dead ball speciality such as corners and pens. A throw in specialism, maybe you randomly get a player who is a long throw specialist. Somewhere to park a player who has been sent off so they don’t get in the way on the pitch. Apart from that SM24 is pretty much perfect imho UPDATE Aug’24; payed for the £4.99 “add free” version and still have to watch ads! ### 4/5 — Great game *2024-08-03* This is a great game I love it but something I like to have player career mode it would make your game better so in fm 25 can you put it or later in the future pls 🙏 ### 3/5 — Great game but so buggy *2024-07-31* Love the SM games and I just got into this one. Few features I want in 1. Can you please make it so that you can actually play the games and there’s touchscreen controls or you can use a controller. 2. I’m doing a Real Madrid career mode but in one of the matches. Both of my CBs got sent off and I didn’t even know why because I was using the quick play feature. 3. In the Champions League every single time I play Inter, I lose and I win against Galatasaray and draw to Benfica. What’s that about? 4. When the opposition have the ball, they can glitch through you and they end up scoring goals that would never go in. My players run away from the ball. If these features and bugs are no more, I’ll give 5 stars Can you please add real faces to players. You guys can use the FIFPRO license to get the real faces. If you’re not gonna do it in SM24, can you ATLEAST PLEASE do this before SM25 releases. Can you guys also give us free save slots so that we don’t have to pay ### 4/5 — Improvements that can be made. *2024-07-19* Good game. I believe there are four ways this game could become one of the best in the world. 1) A deeper variety of the ways goals are scored. It is usually a long ball from the back or somebody running in from the wing and passing. The ways goals are scored don’t actually reflect the tactics. 2) Crosses. In a real game, you usually get over 20 crosses from a side. In sm, you get about 5 a match. 3) Set piece tactics. It would give you greater control of the team. 4) More realistic prices for young players with high potential. This is key because the game is really easy. Buy loads of young high potential players for a cheap price. I can get 99 potentials for less then 5 million. ### 2/5 — Terrible *2024-06-19* One of the only manager games with real players and the realism is complete garbage. The ratings of certain players make no sense, transfers are not even close to real life, and certain teams just cant win. Did a career with Liverpool (whose player ratings are completely wrong) and had a much superior midfield, attack, and defense than all other teams in the league and still could not win. Mind you, the team had a performance in the first season with worse players. Overall, this game is not worth downloading. ### 3/5 — Enjoyable but needs tweaks *2024-06-12* I do enjoy the game, it's easy to play the graphics are decent enough and the best big for me is its not online gaming against other players so can pick up at anytime after a busy day and haven't missed any games. The tweaks are, there doesn't seem to be job offers from other clubs, I've basically won every competition going with the club I started with have maxed out manager level and most things at my club and now feeling a bit board. Loan deals are frustrating too, it's the same two big clubs that bid for all my young players yet they are not of their standard so don't get game time. Also there is no option to bring in loan players for my club. ### 2/5 — Tactics need inprovement *2024-06-01* Game didn’t have much tactics. I once played with for centerbacks. Just cb’s and the rest of my team were advanced playmakers and one striker. I tried this tactics and won 4 games and drew one. This was against the top epl teams. This game is not tactical correct. I did this with Brentford. In real life this team would get destroyed with these tactics. This game has a lot of potential. If the tactics where fixed and improved this game could be a free alternative to ea fc career mode and football manager. I would personally like the tactics to be the same or better than football manager. Though I said all of this. This is the best free football managing games. ### 4/5 — To unrealistic *2024-05-12* The games good with transfers players all of that but the one thing the game HAS to be fix is how unrealistic it is. Like I was playing a match against Wrexham (league 2 team) with Real Madrid I had Mbappe, osimhen, and Neuer all of those but I lost 2-3 in the Santiago Bernabeu that's so unrealistic. IRL it would've been at least 11-0 so yeah so pls fix this Football manager ### 4/5 — Transfer *2024-05-10* You need to fix this issues were I put player up for transfer and I won’t see any buyer till there contract runs out have been enjoying the latest update of you guys please find something to do about that, and one thing about my rival clubs I can sell my players to them but they won’t sell any of tree players to me even a reserve player so my players should be able to reject transfer bed from rival clubs even though have accepted the transfer thank ### 3/5 — Entertaining but flawed *2024-05-02* The UI of the game is decent and buying and selling players interacting with them is fine but Lets just be clear , it literally doesn’t matter what tactics you use and how much better your playing squad you will lose and draw to teams that you should be winning against. Seems the game just decides what the scores going to be before hand and you are wasting your time trying to effect the outcome. going to happen ### 3/5 — You will lose every game *2024-04-27* Cool game but tactics are very poor you can change tactics however you like and you will still lose to very poor sides ### 1/5 — Where’s the truth 4+ age still can’t get in the game *2024-04-27* Soccer manger 2024 developer I’m waiting for like a year right now!!!

Hang in there, Soccer Manager 2024 Team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just lost my first game 5-0 *2024-09-21* So bad ### 1/5 — Emails dont work *2024-08-10* Emails dont work ### 1/5 — This Is So Wrong *2024-08-08* God, I can't play the game because the X doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Commercials bug *2024-08-07* Fix the problems with commercials we can’t play after that ### 1/5 — I can’t even play the game *2024-08-06* Didn’t even get a chance to play because of the loading screen only at 20to 25% ### 1/5 — Meh *2024-08-06* Why I I get bombardier with ads and oh if you want more career slots you need give them money well no and when a simulat I lose so much cash then in like 4 weeks I’m bankrupt 😡 and if you create your own club there’s always the same players for everyone not like fifa and you don’t get to chose where to start at you have to start at the lowest division ### 1/5 — I can’t even play *2024-07-14* You can’t even play it because it says something about Apple ID and the dev said to sign out and sign back in of my Apple ID, which I did and guess what… Nothing happened. I was super excited to play this game but than this stupid thing happens ### 1/5 — Forced account creation *2024-06-01* Forces you to create an account before you can even open the game. I don’t want spam. I’m out. ### 1/5 — Was hopeful but disappointed *2024-05-29* I downloaded this game with an open mind and played well into a full season. It became clear to me that this is a mediocre version of football manager, and its main goal is to get you to buy things so they can make money off you. The matches themselves are shocking. I was managing Real Madrid and had the best players yet losing to very weak teams would happen randomly (such a poor algorithm). Again, this game is designed to get you to keep spending your actual money to make your team good enough to win against small teams (even if it’s already elite). It’s a poorly and quickly game designed game to rip you off. TOTALY NOT WORTH IT! ### 1/5 — Bugged *2024-05-25* This game is bugged like a review I saw I tryed EVERYTHING resetting it re uploading etc so yeah not working not opening so idk what to do devs pls fix it! >:( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game but it can be improved *2024-09-05* I am writing to ask if you can add new features. I really like if you can the option to include players in the transfer ( max 3 - 2 players or whatever you think) I think this would make the transfer window more enjoyable. More importantly, I think in the loan option, we can also include the option to buy after the loan term ends . I think this would make the game more realistic. The game is awesome ### 5/5 — This game would be the best… *2024-07-20* An incredible game, so much fun, but here’s a recommendation from a South American guy… You guys need Copa Libertadores, or at least South American Leagues such as Brazilian, Argentinian, Peruvian, Colombian, Uruguayan, Chilean, Ecuadorian…. A lot of history was made in South America, the greatest players in football history started their career in their own league… Just think about it, it would make this game better than it is.. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-07-16* This type of game is what I am looking for. You could build your dream team and also have players with huge potential. Instead of wasting your time watching goals and stuff you have a choice to skip it as well. This is why I enjoyed the game and hope for more updates to come. ### 5/5 — We need help *2024-07-02* This game looks very good and I really want to play being a football fan but as this game is required for an account to be made as a Apple ID user and I wish the developers made another option to make an account with google etc. Please fix this and I’m sure others also would like this a lot. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Please fix ads bug *2024-06-20* It’s a very cool game to play but the last few ads keep freezing and X doesn’t work. Please fix it! I’ve got an upcoming friendly to play. Thank you ### 5/5 — If I got a dollar for every time I played this game i would be rich *2024-05-12* Great just can you fix the game from crashing because I was winning 6-0 against Brighton and the game clashed and could you have a costum mode where you decide how much money you have how big your stadium and what players you have thabk you ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-04-30* I love this game it’s very fun to play but I have some notes I am not a big fan of micro transactions and sometimes when I buy a player I’m left if 5 million and it feels like I’m in a Barcelona financial crisis and to get my money up quick I need to buy gold to exchange it for money it just feels annoying to me and second I would really like smoother animation like a player takes a beautiful touch from a long ball or maybe new goal animations like bicycle kicks or scissor kicks just something to freshen up the game other than that I have no concern ### 5/5 — Great Game, New Bug Noted Though *2024-03-30* This game is great. The learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of it, the different playstyles you can use to run your team is really cool. I’d like to let the developers know about a bug that I noticed in the last week. For the past week or so, every time my team scores a header goal it counts as an unassisted goal by the assisting player. It can be from a free kick, corner kick, or just a cross or long ball from normal play. I even had an absurd goal where my forward headed in a goal that the opposing keeper got a hand on but couldn’t keep out and it counted as an unassisted goal by my own keeper. Please fix this lol. ### 5/5 — My review *2024-03-29* I have really enjoyed this game and I have enjoyed seeing the game developed there is some things I would like to see change in sm25 for example a new type of game mode where u can move teams in different leagues and make the premier league with teams from Germany, Spain, Italy and ext. but overall I have enjoyed this game and content with how it has worked out. ### 5/5 — Great but needs minuscule improvements *2024-03-04* So I love this game, but if you could add swap deals and block transfers and more versatile rules so we can choose budget, and age of the players, and the league (you already have that, well done.) and also that’s it also help training, it’s so slow when you try and progress players.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
