New Acadamy Remastered

Not quite sure how to get Acadamy Players now. I press a button or “sign” and nothing happens. The feature looks cool but either not working or I am missing steps

Fun, but maxes out.

Been a fun game that we play as a family. However, there is a maximum you get to on your players, stadium, levels, etc. Nice if they added some more levels.

Good game to play

Game is very easy going to play, and one you can dip in and out of.
Would like there to be more explanation about what different symbols/colours mean throughout the app, as these aren’t explained

Das einzige das mich stört ist das man Spieler nur kündigen kann und nicht verkaufen! Hoffe das wird irgendwann mal verbessert

Game keeps crashing

Some good and bad in this review, overall I give 2 star mainly because it over heats phone and app continuously crashes when you try to play tournaments to earn extra coins which is the only way to evolutionize your franchise. Notable, the waiting 3 days for one upgrade at only level 6 is really annoying, like the other reviews the whole concept of building your franchise comes down to purchasing coins which if this game is overheating phone and crashing all the time I’m not wasting my money on that, now, more about the game itself not the money grabs and the crashing app, when you waste 35 hard earned coins on signing a coach depending on the coach your team does not improve and eventually starts to lack work rate, if you try to release the coach you don’t get any money back that you spend on top of wasting the coin you worked hard for. The coach ratings are often same as players which is pointless because as mentioned it doesn’t develop the players much further. Also the players lots of them will have maxed out ratings you’ll find just after wasting 5 coins and thousands of dollars signing them, game is very misleading which brings consumers more and more frustration with time. Credit due that it is a fun game to pass time, then again when it takes 3 days just for 1 upgrade at only level 6 you need to find other games to wait and takes years to see serious progress.

What is World Hockey Manager 2026?
