### 5/5 — Canadian players?

*2025-09-03*

Since the World Cup is coming soon, I feel like Canada should be added to the North America. I would love to have some Canadian players on my team since I live in Canada. I love this game. I play it everyday!

**Developer response:** Happy to hear that you like the game! WFM is now updated to WFM 25. We noticed that some have had issues with league games and we're looking into it.

### 1/5 — Unplayable still

*2025-08-22*

There are so many bugs but this season after 15 games in the league I have only played 8 and no other teams games are playing. Reported at the start of season but no one is getting back to me. What is the point, could be so great but a massive let down every season. 

Update 22/8 : Still many issues including missed games last season. I have emailed the support team, detailing the many issues and hopefully some will get resolved. Happy to change my rating if it does improve but let’s see.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We noticed that some people experienced issued with the leagues a while ago and we've made some adjustments that should have solved the issues. We hope that you will try the latest version of the game and let us know if you still experience the same.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-07-19, version 2.5.47*

Feels like a waiting simulator unless you’re tryna pay.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-06-12, version 2.5.47*

There are so many bugs but this season after 15 games in the league I have only played 8 and no other teams games are playing. Reported at the start of season but no one is getting back to me. What is the point, could be so great but a massive let down every season

### 5/5 — New update

*2025-04-14, version 2.5.46*

I love this app. But it’s need a new update that says WFM25, just like their WHM (World Hockey Manager). The season is done and it’s glitching between the last game played of the season and the main screen when you log in. I can’t do anything on it right now.

### 1/5 — Bug à nouveau

*2024-12-27*

La dernière version fait bugger le jeu sur iPhone 11. Refresh en boucle. Impossible de jouer. Vraiment penible. De plus système économique complètement nul. Il faut payer tout le temps pour garder ses joueurs. Pay to win.

**Developer response:** Stefgod, Hi there and thank you for the feedback. Please could you email support@goldtowngames.com so we can investigate your issue further. We look forward to resolving your problem and getting a 5 star rating from you soon :)

### 1/5 — Apps crashing

*2024-12-09, version 2.5.46*

Game constantly starts a game every time I log in then goes back to the main menu in a loop

### 1/5 — Geiles spiel eigentlich

*2024-07-23*

Ich liebe das Spiel aber die Grafik tut in den Augen weh.
Hab das Game leider lange nicht mehr gespielt. Und in der Zeit hat leider die Akademie sich verschlechtert die war damals besser musste man wenn man nicht so viel Zeit hat nicht Stunden den besten suchen hatte man gleich eine gute Auswahl.
Bei besser gebe ich das Spiel wieder 5sterne war mal so gut

### 1/5 — Bloquer,beug,

*2024-07-21*

Bloquer au tutoriel "carte de match” impossible de faire quoi que ce soit , écrans fixe avec la bulle de dialogue , qui explique qu’il faut donner des cartes de match à nos joueur pour qu’il prenne l’avantage … impossible d’aller plus loins après plusieurs relance du jeux dommage avait l’air cool pourtant .

### 2/5 — Too laggy

*2024-07-08*

I just started playing and my first match was good but then my second match was so laggy it said match my cards for better advantages then nothing happened I waited about 5 minutes and nothing happened so I tried again I reset the page and waited 5 minutes and nothing happened I was hoping to play this game but it’s just too laggy
