### 1/5 — Could be good

*2026-08-10, version 2.2.2*

Shell of the game is nice. Mist features hidden behind paywall & logic doesn’t exist with trading, signing, or any transaction.

### 2/5 — I miss the old version

*2026-08-07, version 2.2.2*

The updates kinda ruined this game for me.  I liked being able to upgrade specific attributes, but now it just makes the game boring for me.  Kinda wish they would just undo the updates so we could have the old game back :(

### 1/5 — Terrible Earnings System.

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.2*

You upgrade your stadium and  concessions it barely gives you a boost in earnings yet your facility maintenance costs go sky high. You can’t set ticket prices to help with costs. You can be as careful as you want to have lower salaries for staff and players but eventually you will go bankrupt before you can even win very much. The game then doesn’t let you move forward unless you have money which you would have to buy. I regret paying for premium.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.2*

So basically you have to pay money to buy a special version to play a worse version of the old game but it’s the 3rd version right, lovely stuff

### 3/5 — 3’s don’t exist. VIP pass can only be completed if you sim every game for multiple seasons

*2026-07-29, version 2.2.2*

Almost every game players love to move up on or in front of the line for whatever reason. AI algorithm is pretty rough in the cut scenes anyways. The VIP pass takes your involvement away from the game because you can only complete the pass if you aim multiple seasons without paying much attention to building your team mid season and watching games to make in game adjustments. It’s contradicting for you to have to go thought 50+ games for each level on the last half of the pass. We pretty much have to go through the whole season. With enough time in the day I can analyze around 50 games while enjoying playing the game. So the pass is making me rush to reap the benefits. The pass should more than a week. Atleast the amount of days to match with the level of its going to take so many games to complete one level

### 1/5 — Terrible pay to win single player game.

*2026-07-28, version 2.2.2*

I hate that I paid for the premium edition of this game when everything is basically pay to win you can’t earn TP you don’t earn money fast if you want to be able to do anything in your first couple of years, you either have to pay money or are you gonna suck for the first 10 seasons? You can’t even make trades without TP, which is a terrible feature.

### 4/5 — 2D engine in head coach mode only?

*2026-07-26, version 2.2.2*

Update: 2D engine works in head coach mode, but can't be found in GM mode. Is it only available in head coach mode yet?
Also, is head coach mode the only option for a new player? What do they have to do to unlock GM mode?

### 3/5 — Why’s the game called GM when the only mode is the player as Head Coach

*2026-07-21, version 2.2.2*

loved this game before but GM Mode was much better in my opinion

### 4/5 — Unfair but good game

*2026-07-20, version 2.2.2*

Why is it that my 5 start 98 overall 30 year old has a 20k value but the bots is 100k w a lower overall lower potential , despite the unfairness it’s pretty cool time passer

### 3/5 — Major bug killing the fun

*2026-07-16, version 2.2.2*

Several months back, I found this new animation mode during matches, which I later found was a new feature called 2D engine that came with an update. I turned it off once, and now I just can't find the option to turn it back on. I tried everywhere in game, and this button on the top right corner of main menu screen just leads to a pop-up windows that writes "options" and nothing else, and no amount of restarting the app can fix it. I believe that's where the problem lies.

I can't just delete and download the app again since I got all the saved files and a premium membership. Please fix this, it's kinda nagging me knowing I'm kept away from a major new feature.
