Les défis ne sont pour l’instant pas à la hauteur de ce qu’ils étaient avant. A voir sur la suite mais il faut changer des choses rapidement. ### 3/5 — Déçu nouvelle saison *2026-08-26* J’ai découvert le jeu il y a 2mois et il était vraiment exceptionnel, mais cette saison 2027 gâche le jeu! Nouvelle DA moche et moins intuitive, les récompenses de match rapide sont bien plus faibles qu’avant (pack joueur 87+ et mega pack 82+) remplacer par 3 pack 78+ ce qui enlève tout l’intérêt de ce Connecter régulièrement J’espère au moins que les récompenses de mission seront aussi bien qu’avant mais j’en doute fortement ### 3/5 — Ngl it’s fun *2026-08-20* Its actually pretty good but theres no way of making your own substitutions….. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! We hear you on substitutions - having more control over your lineup decisions is valuable feedback. We'll pass this on to our team. Feel free to update your review if future updates bring improvements you enjoy. Keep building that squad! ### 2/5 — Sweet game *2026-08-17, version 26.25.1* Very enjoyable plus you get most of your favorite players to manage on your team ### 2/5 — Game get boring *2026-08-12, version 26.25.1* I love the game but it get boring especially you can only play one match per day and it has vey slow progress to level also Game need something like 3D and or even 2D but make it more enjoyable then just boring players card display on gameplay and I just feel wasted of my time so I will no longer playing this game ### 2/5 — Ads, Ads, and no real strategy *2026-08-08* I played for about three weeks. Really learned how it works. Has some good features: training, team strategy etc. But in the end its so disappointing. The team with the highest OVR rating wins every game. I just lost a game 3-1 where my team had an OVR of 84.7. The Opponent 85.4. I beat all the lower rated teams 7-0 and the like. I looked at all the results in the league. Sure enough, EVERY game was won by the higher OVR. No matter how close the two ratings were. So the “strategy” section is bogus. I don’t want to play a game where the guy that spends the most money wins every time. **Developer response:** We hear you, and this is genuinely valuable feedback. Match results are influenced by squad strength, tactics and skill level, so smart management can make a difference. We'll share your concerns about balance with our team. Please contact our Support if you'd like to discuss further, and feel free to update your review if things improve. ### 2/5 — Ergebnisse sind absoluter Zufall! *2026-08-06* Ich spiele das Spiel seit einiger Zeit und musste feststellen, dass es anfangs richtig ausgewogen und gut war. Man musste auch kein Geld investieren, um neue Spieler zu bekommen. Leider habe ich mittlerweile das Gefühl, dass immer mehr umgestellt wird, sodass man reales Geld investieren soll. Man verliert mittlerweile bei Spielen, wo man im Durchschnitt 4 Stärkepunkte mehr hat als der Gegner. Fitness und Konzentration sind höher und der Ballbesitz liegt bei 85%. Trotzdem verliert man solch ein Spiel! So macht es einfach keinen Spaß mehr! **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, das zu hören. UFM lässt sich auch ohne Echtgeldeinsatz spielen, und dein Feedback geben wir an unser Team weiter. Ergebnisse werden durch Stärke, Taktik und Aufstellung beeinflusst - cleveres Management kann auch stärkere Teams schlagen. Probiere UFM gerne mit Freunden aus und aktualisiere deine Bewertung, wenn es besser wird! ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-04* Been playing for a couple of months now and it’s a great game. However with the World Cup game feature going, the players that were in that squad when this event was running, are still said to be in an active lineup. I can’t sell them or do a player swap either which is really frustrating ! I’ve been trying to overrun this bug by offloading the app and redownloading, even putting those players into current squad and then taking them out however nothing seems to work. Would really appreciate if I was able to do something with these players ! Apart from that I really love the game **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words and for flagging this! Some players get locked when they remain in an inactive lineup, including expired event squads. Try removing them from every lineup, including old event formations. If the issue persists, please contact our Support and we will look into it. Feel free to update your review once it is sorted! ### 3/5 — Can’t sell or trade player *2026-08-01* Recently after worldcup event where we create team with players from only one country My players that were on that team isn’t showing in selling or trade option As it showing that my players are still on that team and now event got ended i can’t do anything please fix this problem **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this. Players used in any lineup, including inactive or ended event lineups, cannot be listed on the transfer market. Try removing them from all lineups first, then list them again. If the issue persists, please contact our Support and we will help you sort it out. ### 2/5 — Видео *2026-07-30* Не могу смотреть видео в игре как играть? **Developer response:** Жаль, что возникли трудности с видео. Наша служба поддержки поможет разобраться с этим как можно скорее. Свяжитесь с ними, и если после решения проблемы впечатление улучшится, будем рады, если вы обновите свой отзыв! ### 3/5 — Team ratings *2026-07-28* It makes no sense u build a team n losing to teams not at your level especially when it’s majority of the time **Developer response:** We hear you - match balance is something we take seriously. Results are influenced by squad strength, formation and tactics, so adjustments to your lineup can make a real difference. Contact our Support if you need help, and feel free to update your review if things improve after giving UFM another try! ### 2/5 — Load *2026-07-27, version 26.24.2* It’s taking so long to load and when I restart it, just restarts me back on the same page it’s just useless ### 3/5 — Close too good but falls shorts *2026-07-25* Been enjoying the game and its mechanics. The training is stupid and my players fitness seems to be randomly low for no reason. Also other people have said it but the fact you can consistently lose to teams 4+ points below you is ridiculous. Sure an upset happens once in a while but for a game that relies on simulated matches, that makes no sense. Would be a great game otherwise. **Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying UFM overall! Fitness can drop based on match frequency and training load, so rotating your squad and managing minutes can help keep levels up. On match results, tactics and squad depth do influence outcomes - upsets can happen, but your feedback on balance is noted and shared with our team. Feel free to update your review if things improve! ### 4/5 — Great but… *2026-07-21* I love the game, i play regularly and spent some money too. The only thing you have to regulate and improve it’s the market. Too many players lose value because other gamers set a price lower and lower. You need to set a minimum price to sell and save the value of the investment you make with a player. You can’t buy a 1 mil and sell to 500k Or buy at 80k and sell to 10k ### 2/5 — Martin *2026-07-17, version 26.24.0* Loads up crashed and kicks me out can’t even do any training ### 4/5 — Вылетает *2026-07-17, version 26.24.0* Игра вылетает при входе в нее, исправьте пожалуйста данную ошибку ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Season reset trash *2026-08-26* The season reset just happened which essentially wipes out your entire team you’ve built and replaces it with next to nothing to start a new season. I’ve spent way too much time and money to be completely reset like that. Avoid this money pit at all cost. ### 1/5 — Season Reset *2026-08-26* Season Reset is a BS money grab that they’ll pretend is a way of updating the game.. waste of money if you bought anything last season. Game could be fun but losing all progress makes me want to quit and never come back. ### 1/5 — Какой смысл? *2026-08-26* А зачем я старался, создавал топовую команду весь прошлый год, чтобы вы взяли все обнулили и надо теперь с нуля играть? Играйте сами. Предаставляю лица типов которые донатили в дорогие карточки а теперь этих карточек нет ### 1/5 — Amazing *2026-08-17, version 26.25.1* Incredable ### 1/5 — Pointless time spent *2026-07-22* Rewards for after a wipe are absolutely disgusting when you have spent such a long time earning your players. Want us to play 45 games to get 45 tickets or win league games which is hard anyway when a player or pack cost ridiculous amount of tickets.. like 3000 😂 getting nothing for playing all these months when having a 20m value team plus 95 rated team then want us to repeat the process on the next wipe that is pure money grabbing in my eyes.. I mean you have literally just released packs to buy with real cash for the World Cup win but you won’t have the players after the wipe and now you want me to play for a month long for little gain and massive loss.. not doing it as I don’t feel like playing all these months as gained me anything now 👍 ### 1/5 — Still crashes *2026-07-18* Been a month or so since this happened not fixed still **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're still experiencing this issue. There's a new update of the game currently been rolled out. Hopefully this update fixes your problem. Please reach out to our Support if it persists so we can look into it and help get things sorted for you. We hope to see you back enjoying the game soon, and feel free to update your review if things improve. ### 1/5 — Perte de mon compte *2026-07-13* Les développeurs mon conseiller de désinstaller le jeu et de le réinstaller mais car j avais des gros bugs de connexion, au final j’ai tout perdu mon evolution… J avais quand même une équipe lvl 95.2 😕 ### 1/5 — Poor Game *2026-07-08* This game just stops loading, have to do restart over and over. And too many ads. There are missions in game for getting player packs by watching ads. Absolute trash of a game, that opens 1/5 times without a restart **Developer response:** We're sorry your experience has been so frustrating. Our team is working on stability improvements - please contact our Support so we can look into the loading issue for you. Ads help keep the game free, but we hear your feedback and will pass it on. Feel free to update your review if things improve! ### 1/5 — When will the World Cup cards be updated? *2026-07-05* When will the World Cup cards be updated? For example, Switzerland and the USA advanced to the Round of 16, the Round of 16 has already begun, but the cards still haven't been updated. **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this! We understand how important it is to have up-to-date cards during a tournament. The upgrade will be given the first working day after the round is completed. In this case the upgrade is later today, since it ended last weekend. Feel free to update your review. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-07-01* Last few updates have made this unplayable **Developer response:** Thanks for the rating! We're sorry to hear about the crashes after the recent update. Our team is working on fixes - please contact our Support so we can look into this for you and get you back to managing your squad as soon as possible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente mas podia ser menos PTW *2026-08-25* Infelizmente, quem paga mais leva vantagem. Mas ainda assim é o melhor jogo de simulação de treinador de futebol que eu já joguei. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-16* Sem palavras **Developer response:** Obrigado pela avaliacao incrivel! Fico feliz que estejas a gostar do UFM. Continua a gerir a tua equipa, a melhorar as taticas e a competir por mais vitorias. Diverte-te ainda mais a play with friends e testa as tuas formacoes juntos! ### 5/5 — Status do Jogador *2026-08-04* Excelente jogo, me lembrou muito os tempos de ultimate 11/12/13. Agora sem tanto tempo pra tradar jogador essa é uma excelente alternativa. Adicionem o número de partidas, gols, assistências, cartões, jogos sem sofrer gols, artilharia nos campeonatos e os melhores jogadores da partida e liga e teremos uma experiência muito mais profunda **Developer response:** Obrigado pela avaliação incrivel e pelo feedback! Fico feliz que esteja curtindo o UFM. Vamos compartilhar suas sugestoes sobre estatisticas de partidas e campeonatos com o time de desenvolvimento. Continue montando seu elenco e testando suas taticas para conquistar mais titulos! ### 5/5 — The Best Management Game Around *2026-08-03* I’ve played this game since December. Yes it has its flaws, but what game doesn’t. The game engine is ever changing and let’s be fair “ you’re never going to win every game”. The graphics and designs and spot on. The WC event was amazing. The Dev team are really work hard to make this a fantastic games the discord community is incredible. The Devs also make the time to listen to the players and improve the game. There will always be people who think thats everything should be perfect but this is an ever evolving game and has come along incredibly well in such a short time frame, its been a real escape for me and others and we cannot thank you enough. This Game can be F2P or P2P and it is possible to gain the same. Thanks Guys x **Developer response:** Thanks for such a heartfelt review - it genuinely means a lot to the whole team! We're thrilled UFM has been such a great experience. Keep building your squad, testing your tactics and competing for more wins. The best is still to come, and we're grateful to have you with us! ### 5/5 — Yashar8 *2026-08-02* Hello. I can't put some players who were in the World Cup lineup on the sale list. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great rating! Some cards are unsellable and show an icon on the card. Also, players used in any lineup, including inactive lineups, cannot be listed on the transfer market. Remove them from all lineups first, then try again. Contact our Support if you need further help! ### 5/5 — New Game *2026-08-01, version 26.25.0* Please come out with a hockey game please ### 5/5 — Players problem *2026-07-31, version 26.25.0* Love the game but I can’t use my players I used in the World Cup mode I could sell or use in sbc but I can’t find them to use them there not showing up in my sell section ### 5/5 — Broken game *2026-07-25* This game is brilliant to a point and that point is completely random it seems. IOS player had no issues for a good few weeks but then out of nowhere the game just crashes and at that point is unsalvageable. Every time I attempt to login in the game crashes and boots me out. All progress is kept even after deleting the app to reinstall but the game still won’t allow you past the first click once you get on the menu. There appears to be no fix anywhere online and support haven’t replied about it either. Frustrating as the game is actually so good to play when it lets you. **Developer response:** We're really sorry to hear this is happening - a crash loop like that is genuinely frustrating, especially when you're enjoying the game. Our team would love to help resolve this. Please reach out to our Support again if you haven't had a reply, and feel free to update your review if things improve once it's sorted. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-07-16* Espero que continuem com eventos e adquirindo mais licenças para usar nome e imagens originais dos jogadores além de manter otimizado. Atualmente estou me divertindo muito, para quem gosta de jogos nessa pegada de gerenciamento leve, recomendo! ### 5/5 — It’s ok *2026-07-15, version 26.24.0* It’s ok.
