And then when you start you have 100 gold but most offers that are useful cost like 500 to buy an 81 rated player very hard for free to play players and a bit pay to win ### 4/5 — Avis *2026-08-22, version 3.8.1* Le jeux est bien oui 👍🏽 Je me régale avec des vraies images des joueurs, terrain, trophées… Mais mon côté négatif reste la mise à jour qui viens toujours en retard par rapport au mercato réel ### 3/5 — Higher Starting budgets and a improved realstic game experience *2026-08-21, version 3.8.1* Great game. I would improve game by making the starting budget higher up to £50 or 60million similar to fc for a more realistic experience as £30 million is too low and i have to sell the best players on the team ### 2/5 — Unrealistic 80% of the time *2026-08-20, version 3.8.1* It could’ve been a very good game and isn’t dreadful, but it can be extremely unrealistic And it feels pay to play in most parts of the game. ### 3/5 — Bug *2026-08-15, version 3.8.1* Bug sur les changements durant les match améliore sa ### 4/5 — No realisim and transfer system is ok *2026-08-14, version 3.8.1* Like me man utd losing 3-2 to borunmouth only winning 2-1 vs portsmouth and transfer system ughh bruh to even start i like the biding thing but you have to use gold first before the budget bruh in better and worse games they use only the budget not this gold but its still good if they fix this this is a five star ### 3/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-13, version 3.8.1* It’s an amazing game thanks ### 3/5 — Needs addressing *2026-08-09, version 3.7.1* Hi. Transfers for me are not meeting fair opportunities? Selling players value are nowhere near being met? Yet Clubs purchasing players value are bartered and as well transfer agreements met value and pay more? That’s not fair? If you have a valuation of your players costing ex?£44M and only offered £20? and bids never increase to player value.. needs to be better. Enjoying the game 👍🏾👍🏾? Lastly gameplay needs a little more work, better flow to passing.. oh and I know, it’s so ridiculous but it’s part of the game ? Supporters colours and divide in stadiums, clearly seeing home and away fans should be better. 👏🏾👏🏾 ### 4/5 — Soccer manager 2026 - football *2026-08-09, version 3.7.1* Very nice game just to hard to get gold bars and stuff without paying ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-07, version 3.7.1* Great game just need better graphics ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-08-05, version 3.7.1* This is so addictive and fun to play because other games like this cost money or need Netflix but this is for free but I wish you could play tournaments as countries but every country not just one ### 5/5 — So far… *2026-08-02, version 3.7.1* So good… ### 3/5 — Not finding teams *2026-08-02, version 3.7.1* I can’t find the Vancouver whitecaps on there. Can you tell me why, or is it a bug issue? ### 5/5 — Great game but few bugs *2026-08-01, version 3.7.1* The game is generally good for me as a person obsessed with the soccer life rather than controlling players on the phone. Managerial kind of game makes it more realistic. The bug I found is with substitutes. When you make the 5th sub in the drafts and you try to put back one of the players to make it 4 players before you can resume, it doesn’t allow you to do that ### 5/5 — A great game *2026-08-01, version 3.7.1* This game is amazing as you can build your squad up to the highest, I took Bromley from league 2 to winning the premier league, it is a great bit of fun and I love playing it and I recommend it to football lovers ### 5/5 — The best game *2026-08-01, version 3.7.1* I have played a lot of games but this is the best one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me load on *2026-08-18, version 3.8.1* Every time I try to log on it tells me I don’t have internet connection even though I have full bars ### 1/5 — So so bad *2026-08-15, version 3.8.1* Did not get to play this games I download it and it said check your internet connection so I did I was connected to the internet so tryed again same thing don’t waste your time on this game!!!!!!!!!!😤😡 ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-08-10, version 3.8.1* Would not even let me play the game ### 1/5 — My don’t work *2026-08-06, version 3.7.1* Who do you play it ### 1/5 — set piece takers dont save *2026-07-29, version 3.7.1* 1 ### 1/5 — FIX THE GAME PLS *2026-07-28, version 3.7.1* TOO MANY BUGS AND THE GAME CRASHES RANDOMLY ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2026-07-25, version 3.7.1* 1st I just downloaded it and it says apple account can’t load fix this ### 1/5 — Is this a scam? *2026-07-24, version 3.7.1* I wanted to download this and its giving me 4 hours to install this game, and whenever i actually get 5 mins it moves its way back to 4 hours🥀 ### 1/5 — My review *2026-07-22, version 3.7.1* I find all these upgrades annoying to me , seems like downgrades honestly ### 1/5 — Too many problems! *2026-07-15, version 3.7.1* I enjoyed this game a lot when I first started playing the game! However, the problems started to occurred! The final straw was when I paid for the Champion Bundle for £44:99! The purchase was successfully made but I waited ages for it to arrive in my gaming account but it did not appear! So, I have now deleted the game permanently! I even asked for a refund from Apple Arcade but this was also rejected! Don’t waste your money on this game! Be forewarned! Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s not letting me play it because it’s saying my apple account cannot create a account *2026-08-30, version 3.8.1* It’s not letting me play ### 5/5 — Game *2026-08-30, version 3.8.1* When will soccer manager 27 be released? ### 5/5 — Sm27 *2026-08-27, version 3.8.1* When’s sm27 out ### 5/5 — Under 13 is not allowed *2026-08-27, version 3.8.1* I’ve had problems sorting out what’s wrong with my Apple account since when i joined it immediately said “Cannot Create Account Your Apple Account cannot be used to create accounts for other apps”. Turns out the game does not allow users under 13 which is weird since the game doesn’t have anything that might cause the rule. App Store has showed that the game is suitable for 4+ users and that’s really annoying to see when you spent a long time trying to figure out what’s wrong. I believe the game would be good if it had a better age requirement to at least the App Store age rating. (Put five stars so everyone can see) ### 5/5 — Wow the developer is a genius *2026-08-27, version 3.8.1* Very nice game, I really enjoy the simulation. But when will the 2027 update be out ? ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-08-18, version 3.8.1* Great just need get a bit more challenging ### 5/5 — Review of sm26 *2026-08-17, version 3.8.1* It’s a good game but it needs to have better daily rewards and easier to update but apart from that Its a good game I would recommend it to others. ### 5/5 — Hall of fame? *2026-08-15, version 3.8.1* I love this game and I’ve been playing the past four or five years of its “fifa like series” something personally that I would love to add is a Hall of Fame option as one of the facilities you can build. Being able to put players who have formally played for you or retired with you in your Hall of Fame. You can see their stats, how many games they played for you, the time frame(s) that they played with you, how many trophies they won and what trophies they won, bring back the club World Cup too and potentially other ideas. Personally, I am someone who, after spending hours a week playing this game, builds an attachment for certain players who I started off with, who I bought, and who I developed from my youth academy. And I want to be able to view their stats after they retire. There are already teams all over the world to have some form of this as a facility. Whether it is statues outside of the stadium or an actual Hall of Fame like the New England revolution from the United States. ### 5/5 — العراق/واسط *2026-08-15, version 3.8.1* افضل لعبه ممكن تلعب تحسك بالواقع بس نريد انجيب لاعبين حته لو أعمارهم كبار مثل ميسي ماكدر ارجعه لبرشلونه لن يعتزل نهاية هذا الموسم حته لو موسم واحد المهم يجي ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-09, version 3.7.1* still enjoying it now, I just started the game , Im falling in love with the game , the annoying is the Ads when starting the game , please help us to work on that, after that the game is top notch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
