### 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

### 3/5 — Bugs need sorting

*2024-06-26*

Been a happy player for months and I really enjoy the game!! but For the last few days I’ve not been able to play as the screen keeps flicking between the Home Screen and match screen at this rate I’m going to lose players out my squad that I’ve taken ages to build as I can’t renew contract also losing matches in the league as I can’t prep them for games really annoying plz sort asap

**Developer response:** Hi Manager, first of all we're happy to hear that you like our game! We're aware of the issues that has been around lately. Our team is working on it and we're releasing a new version shortly that should fix these bugs.

### 4/5 — Good game, needs a few things

*2024-06-17*

As you all know, the new update got rid of the energy bar function (which got added recently fortunately) and overall the new update isn’t that clean in terms of design aspect. However, I think the new features of the academy and the scouting is a good addition. In my opinion, I want to see 1 thing: in associations, we need to find a way to cancel a loan posted. Especially if the player is mistakenly loaned out. That’s my only criticism, otherwise good game.

**Developer response:** Hi ! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We'll have a look at your mentioned details for further updates.

### 4/5 — Nettes Spiel, aber

*2024-06-17*

seit dem letzten Updates geht mir der Spielspaß leider verloren. Ich mochte das Spiel wegen seiner einfachen und klaren Grafik. Jetzt ist es eher verspielt und überladen. Auf einem kleineren Gerät kaum noch spielbar, da teils nicht mehr lesbar. Und jetzt gibt es auch wieder mehr Bugs. Ich kann den Erfolg meiner täglichen Missionen nicht mehr abrufen, sobald ich auf die Anzeige klicke, hängt sich alles auf. Schade. Vor den letzten Änderungen hätte ich 5* vergeben.

**Developer response:** Hi Nina, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you feel this way but your feedback is valuable for us and we'll take it with us. We'r working on a new update that should fix some freezing bugs and hope to roll it our shortly.

### 4/5 — Solid

*2024-04-21*

Game is good all the right things

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! :D

### 4/5 — Bien mais…

*2023-10-24*

Système économique bancale(impossible d’entretenir une équipe 80+ en ligue gold 2)gain trop faible mais quand en plus on est dans l’incapacité de se connecter (donc pas de match de coupe…) ça devient impossible… Dommage sur ce point

**Developer response:** Hi manager! We're really sorry to hear that you've not enjoyed the experience. We're working continuously on improving the game experience. Please contact our support regarding any missed matches and we'll try to help out, support@goldtowngames.com

### 2/5 — it won’t let me play

*2023-09-23, version 2.5.18*

i have no clue why

### 2/5 — Jogo é bom, mas…

*2023-07-16*

Após a ultima atualização, sempre que inicia uma partida o jogo fecha sozinho, não sendo possível ver a partida.

### 4/5 — Great, but…

*2023-06-06*

I liked the game, almost everything worked the way it should and I had absolutely no issues until yesterday. I couldnt log into my account anymore and when I logged out it wouldnt let me log back in. Very sad since it‘s a nice and fun little game

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We always strive to become better, if you want to provide further feedback, we are available at support@goldtowngames.com :)

### 4/5 — My

*2023-03-03, version 2.5.7*

Really fun and what a great time I have be playing the amazing game

### 1/5 — Issues

*2022-12-10*

The game overall is cool. But the biggest issue for me is that the app keeps deleting my file. After i log in a few times i keep getting an error message saying login failed and i have to recreate my team/ start from scratch. This has happened four times already.

**Developer response:** rayman7869, Hi there. It sounds as though you haven't registered your account. Please feel free to contact support@goldtowngames.com so we can recover the team involved.

### 2/5 — Pay for play

*2022-12-03*

Unfortunatly, tokkens are far too important, so you won’t be abble to grow without bying… too bad cause the beginning is fun. Des pièces sont nécessaires pour pratiquement chaque action, et quasi impossible d’en gagner plus de 2/jour… du coup pas moyen de recruter ou de signer des jeunes… gâchis…

**Developer response:** Hi manager! We're really sorry to hear that you've not enjoyed the experience so far. With this update we have reduced the academy and individual training cost and taken some coins from the challenge rewards to create a fairer balance between players across the boards. Please feel free to drop us an email with your feedback to support@goldtowngames.com so we can discuss it further.

### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar [Update]

*2022-12-01*

Habe das Spiel 2-3 Monate gespielt und es hat auch sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Nur leider komme ich nicht mehr in meinen Account rein (Anmelde-Fehler) und ich will auch nicht von vorne anfangen.

Update:

Support angeschrieben. Die erste Antwort kam relativ schnell. Wurde dann nach meinem Team-Namen gefragt und hab geantwortet. Seither keine Antworten und kein Support mehr. Ist jetzt fast 3 Wochen her. Mein Team seit 4-5 Monaten weg. hab die Hoffnung aufgegeben, schade.

**Developer response:** Hi MuratKaanAlaca, Sorry to hear you've had these login issues. Please contact support@goldtowngames.com right away and we might just be able to save your account before any players contract runs out! Hope we can deserve a higher rating after that. Good luck, have a nice weekend!

### 4/5 — Ok game but . . .

*2022-11-07, version 2.5.2*

No button to sign your youth players. You literally can’t sign them up. 
Sort this then 5 stars

### 2/5 — Seit 3 Tagen nicht mehr spielbar

*2022-10-19*

Ich spiele das Spiel seit 2 Jahren. Es macht leider immer weniger Spaß. Seit 3 Tagen ist es garnicht mehr spielbar. Sehr Schade! Trotz einiger Fehler hatte es Spaß gemacht.

**Developer response:** Hi marc.dannhauer,  sorry to hear about your issues, but thank you for your loyalty over long time. The game had major login issues on android for that period you wrote this, which everyone else also had. It was due to the playstore's review getting messed up on their end. Email support@goldtowngames.com and we'll compensate you and hopefully deserve a higher rating in the future, thanks! Good luck and have a nice weekend Marc!

### 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

### 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 .

### 1/5 — Starting up

*2024-06-24*

This game seems to be buggy, started the game recently and it did not let me participate in the beginner cup. When you try to play challenge matches, half of the time the games don’t load and you are stuck waiting.  The game seems promising but unfortunately, not being able to play the game is a let down.

**Developer response:** Hi Just-playing, thanks for your feedback! We have noticed the issue with crashes and loading and are working on a fix that will be released as soon as we can.

### 1/5 — Bien guez

*2024-05-28*

Ce jeux et bien pourri aucun plaisir les améliorations perso tout autant guez je ne recommande pas

**Developer response:** Hi manager! We're really sorry to hear that you've not enjoyed the experience so far. We work hard to try and improve the game experience hoping to earn a better score from you in the future.

### 1/5 — Jogo fechando ao iniciar partida

*2023-07-12*

O jogo fecha ao tentar iniciar a partida !

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Das Spiel läuft seit dem letzten Update nicht rund?

*2023-10-27*

Das Spiel läuft seit dem letzten Update nicht rund?

**Developer response:** Hi robi0009, thank you for your feedback. We're aware of the issues and we're working on a new version that should fix the issues. It should be ready to release very soon. You're always welcome to reach out to support@goldtowngames.com with any additional feedback or issues.

### 5/5 — Un jeu complet et plein de potentiel

*2023-01-11*

Franchement, enfin un jeu de gestion de club qui est complet ! C'est ce qu'on demandait ! Vous verrez vous allez tout pouvoir faire (academie de jeune, stade, entrainement..) et sans avoir vraiment à payer (à part si vous voulez monter de niveau plus rapidement). Les seules choses à améliorer sont les matchs bien sur: mettre de l'ambiance, des matchs d'une meilleure qualité de jeu. Mais aussi il faudrait pouvoir modifier son club (nom, logo, couleurs). Mais sinon c'est parfait, merci !

**Developer response:** Hi ! Thank you for your rating & feedback! We always strive to become better, if you want to provide further feedback, we are available at support@goldtowngames.com :)

### 5/5 — What other formations are they is they the 4-1-4-1

*2022-06-18, version 2.3.9*

Love game

### 5/5 — Très bon potentiel

*2021-12-19*

Très bon jeu de gestion d’équipe de football que ça soit niveau design de l’application ou les fonctionnalités dedans. Je dirais juste quelques points à améliorer: surtout la simulation lors des matchs, j’ai l’impression qu’il n’y a pas réellement de logique dans les matchs, de plus lors des matchs les actions se ressemblent tout le temps, pas de diversité. Et je finirais par dire qu’ils seraient intéressants lors des entraînements collectif de pouvoir choisir quoi travailler: du genre construction, défense, contre attaque… enfin mise à part ca, c’est un excellent jeu que je conseille à tous les joueurs fans de jeu de football!!!

**Developer response:** Hi Nawiix, thank you for taking the time to provide us with this great review! And as you mentioned, there are still a lof of things we can improve, and we will! I will send you this review to our game designer. If you want to discuss with other managers you are welcome to join any of our social channels on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Make a search for World Football manager!

### 5/5 — Getting better

*2021-03-19*

Recent updates have improved the game so it is going in the right direction. Salaries are more sustainable. Customer service has been excellent also. My phone broke and the devs ensured my team was looked after while I got a replacement. Hopefully more updates are coming so the game can continue to improve.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate hearing that, Mr Waites! Thank you for your review and don't hesitate to contact our customer service again with any questions or concerns. Take care and good luck with your team!
