### 3/5 — More options

*2024-07-23, version 1.4.2*

Would like to have, trophies won, players played with and managers worked under added, maybe more clubs too every grid is similar

### 4/5 — It amzing

*2024-05-29, version 1.3.0*

It’s really good but the fact you need energy to play it’s stupid but other than that it’s amzing and I highly recommended it

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-03-24, version 1.3.0*

Only uses modern players.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2024-02-14, version 1.3.0*

Used to be able to sit down and play for as long as you want, now they added a system where you have to use “energy” to play

No back button so if you click the wrong thing you have to shut the game down and open it back up

Much better choices on the App Store

### 4/5 — Weird choices by developers

*2024-02-14*

Why would the developers add the energy concept? I want to play their game, so why would they want to limit me? 

I think that’s a deeply unpopular choice to make for the development of the game. They could have spent the time adding more teams/nations/stat categories, added ways to exit menus, or added user stats, but they decided to add the energy concept? Weird
