Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Diverting and addictive. Also, for visually impaired players who use VoiceOver this game is completely accessible, a rarity for IOS games.
It is a really good game but it is quite easy to go into debt even though we save money but otherwise pretty good game.
Nearly 40 years in, transfer embargo challenge, 99 rated squad and have won the prem. And nothing else. Severe underdogs always beat us in cups, and we win 1 out of every 10 penalty shootouts. As much as we would love to win more trophies, we would be insane to try. Other than that, fun game.
Good game, but extremely frustrating to play. 40 years in and yet to touch the glory of The Prem. It also seems that your team is unable to win away even against poor sides, but always seem to win at home consistently. However, despite these difficulties, this game offers everything a football fan desires. Realistic finance management, facility upgrades, and a plethora of game scenarios. Good game, but can be great with some additions like visual match simulations and the ability to manually scout potential transfers.
Been playing on and off for years now. Always a good time.
Easy, simple to play while still being highly fun and addictive. Not pay to play, while having the purchases provides a huge boost all the same. Couldnt recommend more.
This game will kill time ao well even if youd dont have time to kill. Aww awesome game.
Its a great game, takes time to build up but its totally worth it.
Please update new features!!! Ive spent so many hours on this game.
This game is great and addicting but some updates would make it a lot better, you should be able to sub players on and off in game and also tell the manager some positions to look for to improve the squad, as a chairman more control should be available in these ways.
One of the best simpler football games Ive played. Adding a little more details to transfers, in-game events, and historical stats is something Id like to see added in the future. Id also like to see a feature where you can make a player a club legend. Just a feature that will display your favorite players (and their stats) that have played at your club previously.
Honestly, the prices if you want to buy something are so reasonable. However, you can still have a ton of fun without spending money. Its such a well balanced game. Maybe a tad repetitive at certain points, but we never feel bored when playing it.
We quickly became enraptured by this addictive game, and to succeed, we spent some money on the game, and we still couldnt win. The game is rigged so that you keep losing so you keep spending money, even when you are the best team by far.
We have been playing this game for years and Im still not bored of it. Ive spent a lot of money on IAPs, but you absolutely dont have to. Now that Ive gotten good at the transfer market, Ive been in the prem for 30 season and Im making profits of $80,000,000 per season. This game is so good and worth every penny. We hope the sequel comes out soon.
Really have been enjoying the game.
We really love this game and we hope the developers continue to update and improve the game.
We started playing the game recently and we got hooked really quickly. It is very fun manager game. We have enjoyed it a lot. There some tweaks and stuff to be done so it is 5 stars but it is still a very good game, we would highly recommend it.
Firstly, we love how simple the game is. We play FM and this feels like a VERY simple version of that. Its nice to have the FM feel without having to dive deep into the deep end of things. Our biggest complaint is how random the results can feel compared to the achievements that you can get. We have no idea if having an invincible season is even possible in this game. The closest we have ever come to that was having a 23 game no loss streak. It would also be nice if there was a bit more insights or instructions on how certain stays affect players and results.
We play Football Manager pretty regularly on our PC but that experience just doesnt really translate very well to mobile. Football chairman pro is exactly the right depth for a game played on the go, while still having enough depth to keep you coming back for more. The new update makes it lightning quick to play, which really adds to the addictive feel.
This game is very accessible as a blind user. We love it.
If you enjoy sports simulation games then this will be one that youll jump right into and become addicted instantly. Its simple enough to where anyone can understand how to play but complex enough to keep you interested. Try the game out and thank us later.
Please overhaul the game, its good and fun, but it would be cool if it was updated. More specific input on the daily life of the club. Being able to actually watch games play out, seeing other leagues outside of just the one your in that week. Its a good game but at 4 years old and having paid with not putting out any other games it could be useful to update this.
Game is awesome but it would be a good idea to be able to choose ur own team emblem and u can write on it and pick colors for it and different customizations for it. You would be able to see it on the top of the home screen and next to ur team name during games. Another thing that would be great is to add more customizable things for the stadium like the way the seats look.
Hard to promote, your team will smash a team 4-1 home and away just to lose to a 85 min winner in a playoff final (3 seasons in a row).
We learned if this game from a summer camp counselor and upgraded to pro within days of trying the free version because we love both the sport and this game. A resounding success.
Well not so much in managerial actually just decide to buy and expand But addictive and after 10 year finally get to the epl.
You will love this one more! We got so much enjoyment out of the first two apps that we were happy to jump into this one without knowing what was new. If you love FC, you'll be happy you bought this one.
Get the Pro version its well worth the money.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME.
We wish you guys could update this game more it hasnt had a good update since we have gotten it we feel like you could change the promotion relegation so it is correct in the lower leagues or do something small just to change it a little because it does get a little boring.
Fun idea, but very simplistic and repetitive.
When purchasing this, we didnt mean to purchase the pro version. Im glad we did because we have really enjoyed playing this game. We took our team from a C to A. It wasnt easy either, because its so realistic. Nice work.
Enjoyable quick click game when your wasting time.
We enjoyed the free version so we bought pro, not a bad price and it passes the time. Its still just ok really. Does not feel like much of our decisions impact the game. Somehow we will go on long winning streaks just to lose to a team in relegation instead of a top 5 club. The game generates red cards at an insanely high rate. You really should be able to do more in this game. Injury maintenance of some kind and really more interaction in transfers. So much potential to add on to this good core foundation but it is lacking in too many areas.
Love the game, have yet to make it to the Prem but thats the challenge of the game we guess right? Had some ideas though. If you could customize the stadium with a couple different options for Stands that way your stadium is a little more unique and not so generic. We also think it would be cool if you could be more involved as an owner: -pick players injury recovery program -marketing plans to get more fans in the gate -add in real world type scandals for the players that you now have to deal with, rather than Indiscipline Reported – upgrade nutrition plans for players -better training programs to grow players The ultimate dream would be to see the game happen, with small little players on a field, playing out the sim, just feel it would add the ultimate sense of involvement to the game, like youre actually the owner, in the stands, cheering your team on. Great game, lots of fun for a football fan.
A good break coming back from FIFA or PES.
Great simulation football manager game.
We have been playing this game for years and Im still not bored of it. Ive spent a lot of money on IAPs, but you absolutely dont have to. Now that Ive gotten good at the transfer market, Ive been in the prem for 30 season and Im making profits of $80,000,000 per season. This game is so good and worth every penny. We hope the sequel comes out soon.
The only game we have ever spent money on, really amazing and engaging.
Would be great to have a basketball or boxing simulator from you guys! You made a great simulator concept with this game.
We think there should be a top 10 list of players for appearances and goals for your clubs history.
Can be frustrating if you think this is a short game play. Slow and steady can build up your team if you are patient.
So far, so good. We look forward to what the future updates will bring.
We started out playing the free version, but then we decided to try the paid one. O. M. G. It is completely worth it, and we play it 24/7.
Up the Dunes lads Up the DUNES. Sands United til we die.
Diverting and addictive. Also, for visually impaired players who use VoiceOver this game is completely accessible, a rarity for IOS games.
Really good little game for just jumping in and out of. The Pro game is worth the upgrade. Adds a little it more ways to make money through cup games etc.
Since Ive found this game, its the only game we play. We dont even use ig or Snapchat anymore. We are 18 years old and this game is so freaking sickkkkk.
Always keeps us entertained, well worth the $3 for the full game.
Could be better. Only dislikes are you cant pick your lineup, theres no international options either. Good time killer.
