Excellent!

Under construction but very good game so far. I can’t wait to see all the things they’ll add similar to the college football simulator.
Would love to see these things added;
- Subbing players @ halftime
- Being able to select which players are available for sale.
- different countries as an option to start
- more frequent academy results

CHEERS!

Solid still in development

Pretty good similar to cfb but would be much better if similar to it when it comes to staff and selling and buying players. Also would be cool to pick a country we could start on not just be default UK. Overall a lot of potential

Bugs

Hey guys I understand your busy and everything but it just really annoys me when I’m trying to make a new soccer team and it just crashes and I have to reload the game. I do love the game though and I’m just glad we’re able to play in early development. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.
Edit:
I’ve noticed when you or the opposing team have a penalty immediately after the goal is scored by the opposing team and it says penalty shot
Good game though.

Sim fixes

Only thing needs to fix the simming. Shouldn’t be losing to teams I have way better fitness than and overall especially while on a win streak. Moving up leagues almost guarantees numerous unreasonable losses even if your team is better in your first year. Excellent game though. The player drop off is huge as well after a single year.
