Terrible Game

You can do all the prepping, recruiting, and training but it is pointless. You will lose every game and maybe get lucky with a win once every season.

Great Game But Lose The Ad’s

Great game that will keep you locked in for hours at a time! However, the one significant downfall is the ad’s. Listen, I get you need to make revenue from the game some how, but 45 second to nearly a minute and a half long ad’s completely disengage the user from the game, especially when several of them freeze half way through and lose you the bonus. Don’t let this be your only downfall!

BEST GAME YOU WILL PLAY

So I played this game in high school from about 2020-201 went through 64 seasons lost the account I had and restarted in 2023. I've played another 96 and counting seasons. It's a fun game to just simulate and focus on one aspect, play seriously and micro manage your whole team whatever you wanna do. They've updated it with more rewards systems to upgrade your players coaches and team. I've really enjoyed this game over the past 7 years!!
