### 5/5 — 이런 게임을 지금 알았습니다

*2025-12-22*

이런 게임 너무 웃기고 시간 남을때마다 하기 좋아요 선수들 이름도 웃기고 게임 자체가 흥미롭습니다! 처음 해보는데 재밌어요

### 5/5 — 손키우기 ㅎㅇㅌ

*2025-11-01, version 0.220*

너무 재밌어요 세계최고의 팀을 만들거에요!!

### 5/5 — 광고

*2025-11-01*

처음에는 타이쿤 느낌의 게임에서 나중에는 축구감독게임하는 기분이 들어서 재미있었습니다. UI가 보기 어려운편도 아니고 처음에 적응만해도 진행도 나름 잘되는점도 좋았고요, 하지만 선수 입단과정에서 확률에 비해 3성이 잘 안뜨는 기분? 그리고 손흥민을 키우는데 시간이 걸린다는 기분입니다.

### 5/5 — 너무 재밌습니다

*2025-06-26, version 0.218*

여러 기능들이 있어 좋았고 성장시키는 것이 재밌어요

### 5/5 — 평소에

*2025-06-24, version 0.218*

평소에 선수 키우기게임을 좋아하는 편인데, 누워서 유튜브 틀고 슥슥 하기 좋은 게임이에요.

축구 좋아하시면 무난하게 하기 좋은듯?

### 5/5 — SON 키우기

*2025-06-24*

쉬는시간에 하기 좋고, 생각보다 더 재밌다. 또한 쏘니를 키우는 것이 이 게임의 핵심 요소같은데, 내가 원하는 스타일로 키울 수 있어서 좋다.

### 5/5 — 수업시간에도 참을수 없는 마성의 겜

*2025-06-17*

학교에서 할꺼없어서 깔아봤는데 생각보다 괜찮아서 바로 깔아버리기~~~ 셉셉이 바로 얻어버려 생각보다 양산형게임 느낌 안나고 개성이 뚜렸함
시간때우기용으로 한번씩 해보시길

### 5/5 — 생각보다 되게 재밌어요

*2025-06-08, version 0.218*

뻔한 양산형 게임일 줄 알았는데 생각보다 재밌어요. 타이쿤게임이면서도 축구게임이고 무과금이어도 가능해서 좋아요!

### 5/5 — 재밌어요

*2025-05-31*

무과금으로 충분히 재밌게 플레이 할 수 있고 축구 좋아하는 사람들이 흥미를 가질 만한 컨텐츠도 있네요

### 5/5 — 키우기 게임

*2025-05-25*

축구선수 키우기 좋아하시는 분들이 딱 하기 좋은 게임입니다 ㅎㅎ 한번씩 해보는것도 나쁘지 않습니다 굳이 현질 할 필요도 없습니다
