Although it is pay to win without a doubt, nothing is too expensive. 5-6 dollars will make you a top team. My only issue is the horrible, absolutely HORRIBLE trade values. I have a 95 overall 5 star QB that is 25 years old and yet i can only get 2nd round picks for him. Yet i look at any CPU team of the same value and that QB is worth 4-5 first round picks, it makes absolutely ZERO sense. Please look at the coding for this game and see if there’s any improvements. I keep building a good team, but it’s hard to win when the #1 ranked team ends up with 3-5 first round picks a year and I’m stuck with my #32 pick ### 3/5 — Potential *2026-09-03, version 2.4.1* This game could be so good if it ran the same way as pocket gm 3, the entire base of the game runs around the scheme and all the other teams end up being like 95+ it’s so frustrating, but if your not looking for a “nfl-Ish” experience then this is your game ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-31, version 2.4.1* It’s a good game as I played number 2, it’s annoying you Taken the ability for us players to actually the ball ### 3/5 — Co-op *2026-08-28, version 2.4.1* What’s the point in only being able to play online why not offline ### 2/5 — WT actual F *2026-08-24, version 2.4.1* The game has become so blatantly a cash grab, being premium isn’t enough, having a 99 overall team isn’t enough, being 5 pts overall isn’t enough, using motivations isn’t enough. Somehow, someway, a computer opponent far inferior will beat you in the SuperBowl repeatedly despite you being clearly the better team. What the actual hell is that all about…I literally pay for this game and it’ll make me lose in the championship to worse opponents every time. ### 2/5 — Newest changes have Ruined the Game *2026-08-11, version 2.4.1* This used to be one of my favorite games. This game does so many things well. There is so much detail about each person that is apart of the team that makes it really fun to analyze. But… The trade system has gotten much harder. Impossible even. Also, as your team gets better, all of the other teams get much better. My team starts around a 75 overall. It’s the worst team in the league. 8 years later my team is 84 overall but still the worst team in the league. I start a new game and the 11th best team starts at 84 overall. Basically, you need to pay real world dollars to have a chance anymore. It’s a shame how far this game has fallen. ### 3/5 — Make it fair *2026-08-04, version 2.4.1* AI teams can trade a 70 overall punter for two first round picks, it get ridiculous sometimes ### 3/5 — Never Win!!!!!!!! *2026-07-30, version 2.4.1* Game is well done however I would like control to place players in any position I think they would flourish, as of now QB has no other position same as Returner. TE should be able to be FBs, and vice versa. O linemen should be able to be D linemen and vice versa. Biggest issue even if you are premium and but TP, the opposing teams will always be higher rated like some algorithm in the code. And if you want to play yourself get ready to lose all the time Lower rated teams will be making your Beastmode HB with 80 ball security fumble 3 - 4 times in the 4th quarter you will be intercepted on deflected over and over while you have no control of Defense the lower rated 65 - 75 team will march down the field with ease and score only for you to fumble on the next play in your own redzone! ### 3/5 — Trading is impossible *2026-07-22, version 2.4.1* In order to get a trade for a good player, you need to offer a better player and a good draft pick…. Making it practically impossible to trade for stars, and not being able to draft players that you haven’t scouted, or pick up FA’s you haven’t scouted makes it hard to rebuild. Otherwise a good game, if you can match scheme to the coordinator and get your coordinator to a 88+ you’ll be put in a good position. Just know that if you want a special teams player, pick them in the 2nd round cuz they’ll be gone by the 3rd. ### 2/5 — This is rigged *2026-07-21, version 2.4.1* I don’t get the cap. All the other teams have like 90 overall on all there players were is the cap? But then when I try to get a few 90 overalls to try and win more games I need more cap. The other team gets infinite cap and all of their players are 90 but when I get 3 90’s I run out of cap it doesn’t make sense. I understand it is supposed to be hard and challenging but cap doesn’t make sense. it’s like your forced to lose. I like the ultimate QB that game is good but this… if you fix the cap I would give this 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Good *2026-07-20, version 2.4.1* Pay to win but fun ### 1/5 — Useless without paying let real fans download version 1&2! *2026-07-11, version 2.4.1* Useless without paying let real fans download version 1&2! ### 2/5 — I can’t access gm mode *2026-07-10, version 2.4.1* I purchased the premium version and when I clicked on the app, I didn’t see any buttons to be a gm it took me straight a way to coach mode ### 1/5 — Genuinely a waste of time *2026-07-09, version 2.4.1* Game is so poorly & unfairly balanced. It’s impossible to even have a mediocre team without spending extra money. CPU’s teams progress rapidly, while it’s insanely difficult to progress your team without spending real money to buy cash so you can upgrade your facilities. The game is designed to always make sure your team is behind the majority of the CPU teams in overall. Trading is completely useless, mid CPU players will be 20x worth what your best players worth is. Please do not waste your time with this game. I’ve played through 5 different seasons & the best record I’ve ever had was 6 wins. Play something else ### 1/5 — Game CHEATS *2026-06-28, version 2.4.1* There are 100 different reasons why this game is a total failure and a total cheat! Bad game control algorithms. If you buy a level 90 player, the cost is 100,000+ , and a cell a level 90 player is 5000. This means that the game is programmed to cheat you! Fix it or die! ### 3/5 — Fun but a little scammy *2026-06-23, version 2.4.1* Very fun game at managing a team but the game pushes so hard to make in-app purchases and it is constant. Plus they use A.I. generated art which I am not a fan of. ### 3/5 — Change it back! *2026-06-23, version 2.4.1* This game used to be so much better! I bought it years ago and you could do so much more edits. Now you have no control over the salary cap or difficulty level! It’s a shell of its old game. Give us back what we paid for. Also it says your a GM but in the settings your an HC. The game is called Pro Football GM not HC. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need to hit the powerball to win *2026-09-04, version 2.4.1* Unless you have unlimited funds you’re not going to be winning anything in this game at this point. Over the last couple years they have micro transactioned this game to death. They have removed so many aspects like something as simple as switching a players position and put it behind a paywall. The npc teams also seemingly get unlimited funds and these top tier in season gear boosts that aren’t available to you unless you spend a fortune of real money. I used to love this game and would even spend money occasionally to get a boost but it’s way too expensive now ### 1/5 — Long time fan very disappointed *2026-09-01, version 2.4.1* I played 8 seasons. Won the Super Bowl 3 times. I enjoy the difficulty level and found a way to win. That said, I never got my team better than 87 overall, while regularly facing 93, 94 and 95 overall teams. That’s the 2nd most annoying part. Facilities cost so much and coaches take so much tp to train to a decent level. Blueprint to win this game. Strong OL and get a running QB. Run the ball as much as possible. Try to avoid outside runs. Even if your player has 99 speed, which mine does, the LB are always faster. Expect to score 50-60 points a game to win regularly because the AI for your defense will allow 50 points a game the majority of the time. It is a boring way to play but it’s the most reliable. The QB play in this game is terrible. I design custom plays to get my WRs wide open and my 98 overall QB is throwing it into triple coverage all the time or waiting too long/too early for the play to develop and throwing INTs. Last, the features being locked behind premium is obnoxious. I can’t use coach filters to help me find a good coach without paying? Why not have a system of watch 3 ads and you can have premium for a day or something? I know it’s not a lot of money for premium but I do not make purchases on apps so this is very restrictive for me. ### 1/5 — Unethical tactics, avoid this game *2026-08-24, version 2.4.1* The game offers a premium version where you can pay a one time fee to actually make it worth playing. It would appear that they have since updated the game, even for those who already paid for premium, to make it an illogical and unfun grind that can only be solved by paying more real life dollars. I do not see these changes listed anywhere in the patch notes. I see the developer directing users to reach out to a support email to get access to the old version of the game. Completely unacceptable business model and if this action isn’t rectified, I will be reporting this app and developer to the App Store. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-17, version 2.4.1* Everything in this game is hidden behind a paywall. All my players have no trade value when the same players on the CPU Teams have over three times the trade value ### 1/5 — Ruined *2026-08-12, version 2.4.1* I used to play this a lot, even paid for premium. Wish it would go back to the way it was 5 years ago. It’s kinda pay to play now to be good and it’s lame that they took a great thing and made it bad ### 1/5 — Haven’t made playoffs once *2026-08-11, version 2.4.1* Most impossible game. Need fixing ### 1/5 — Do Not Buy *2026-08-03, version 2.4.1* The constantly climbing costs and CONSTANT FREEZES to game play across this and their American football platform make this a no go. The game play is constantly stalemated by bad programming, math tiering, and ridiculous bugs. Save yourself your money and your hassle and find a better operation! ### 1/5 — Make it better *2026-07-22, version 2.4.1* Your cap room in this game sucks like if you’re trying to get a good team you can’t and your quarterback, wide receiver and lineman and running back have the IQ as a potato trading impossible as well like if I tried to trade three first round picks for an 88 overall they won’t accept that and also when you trade for players and they go down like 10. Overall bro. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me edit the salary cap *2026-07-20, version 2.4.1* It’s horrible I don’t like the game anymore because I can’t edit the cap you can’t do nothing with 200 million salary ### 1/5 — Rigged *2026-07-17, version 2.4.1* I’ve played this game a ton. Back when it first came out it was a lot better. Now in this one it sets you up to keep paying micro transactions. Your team will constantly lose no matter what. And if you try to sign good players good luck having enough cap space or finances which then forces you to pay for more. As well as training points. But good luck still winning. Having looked through Reddit reviews people will have really good teams and still go on losing streaks that they shouldn’t. Don’t waste your time it could be a really good game but you can tell that it just tries to suck you back in to play it but just frustrates you because you can never build a really good team that lasts or wins enough. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very challenging but fun *2026-08-03, version 2.4.1* This game is not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of failure involved in playing this game but it makes you succeeding more enjoyable. There are normal annoying traits, especially with time management at the end of games (if the developers could fix that, that would be sick). It can frustrate you but there ate so many really cool features that make this game rival retro bowl. Definitely worth it ### 5/5 — Highly recommended I absolutely love this game one of the best! Ever *2026-07-20, version 2.4.1* Very realistic gameplay and it’s highly underrated and addictive! ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-07-01, version 2.4.1* There are 100 different reasons why this game is great. I’d like to see greater returns on players trade value. Thanks. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2026-06-16, version 2.4.0* I love the game I just we could maybe open up the play book a little bit and get to play defense would easily make this the best game ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-02, version 2.3.0* It’s a great game, the only thing that annoys me are the field goals. They look like they go thru the posts. But it says no good. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-28, version 2.3.0* Sometimes it feels rigged just like real football I really enjoy the game ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-25, version 2.3.0* Very addictive ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-05-24, version 2.3.0* Good game but what happened to gm mode. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-05-18, version 2.3.0* My favorite game to play in my free time. ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-05-16, version 2.3.0* I love the game and I have played it everyday since getting it 2ish years ago. I only wish there could be performance awards like of your player led the league in a stat or get dpoy or something like that, it could go up a star potential or have some sort of boost. Also adding a protector of the year award at the end of the season would be cool. I also would love an ability to pull players out of retirement like they do sometimes in real life.I love the drafts and love everything about the game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
