Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Just gonna say this game is tuff.
We love this game so much, so much fun.
We have a 88 rated quarterback and Im still getting like like 10 and seven seasons, like 12 and five like when Im so painful its like maybe a 14 13 win season not 12-5 But other than that pretty good game.
This game has potential but needs some updates desperately. At halftime possession doesnt reset or switch, we cant see how many yards we get each year or after each game (just a season total), and we know you guys are capable because Im an avid player of ABK26. If you guys showed this game just a bit of love we could see football fans enjoying it but until then there are better more realistic sims out there to play.
Good game really fun to play a bit confusing to offer contracts one change id make is make it Abel to auto resign players about a certain rating.
Certain features are off but overall its a good sim game. Names and genders dont always match.
10/10 game truly the only way itd be better is if you could please add a college coaching mode.
It is so good we have always wanted a game that was you get to make your own season.
Its really fun lots of customization with it also not taking up any battery and you can play offline love playing it we. Our free time plus it was free.
Is there a way to make your roasters realistic with accurate current players names in all your sports games. We think that will make a big improvement.
Please let us play as more positions. We would love to be cb.
It is the best we recommend for everyone.
The only complaint we have with this game is how tedious the ui can be. We wish there was easier ways to do stuff it feels like youre always constantly clicking in a slightly annoying way especially if youre simming games. You guys should also add a thing that sends you. A message for stuff like when youre done building stuff in your stadium. Also a astonishing f1 would be a cool one as well. Same with a golf one. Regardless if youre reading this gamer play these games they are still really good.
Great game, but maybe a larger cap space and the ability to turn it off.
We love the game there are just a few things in our opinion that would make it better. We think the fact that you only have your rookies on a 1 year deal (granted its zero dollars) it just makes it kinda hard. We think having them on a 3-4 year deal that is low contract and then having to pay them would be better. Another thing is the team building. We could just be confused but we try to find a good balance between our strengths and the opposing teams weaknesses. But then we get game where we get blown out when we do that which shouldnt make any sense. Overall fun game just needs a few adjustments and it will be even better.
The game is a little bit confusing for us idk about you guys but other than that we like the game pretty fun.
The game is really fun but the player contracts really limit what you can do. We dont really think its fair to not be able to afford some rookies after just one season. Maybe you can extend the rookie contract. Otherwise this game is a nice change on sports games.
We love the game it great but every time we go into a option in the our player area of Franchise mode it always ends up in the game acting like we asked for a trade even though we didnt.
What we would like to see is an option for just being a GM instead of GM and coach. We enjoy being just a GM.
We have played ten years in a league and a quarterback from an Atlanta team has won player of the month all ten years and they have all been different quarterbacks. Also they are low overall and dont have the best stats even though they win player of the month.
Every thing is great and stuff but we think more positions on defense and offense.
There is a bit of a learning curve, and so much we dont know, but this has the potential to be a long term fun game to us. It doesnt get you started by holding your hand and we think that adds to the intrigue for us. We prefer a football game that doesnt add graphics for no reason. It doesnt take up a bunch of power or storage. Its easy to take a break from calling plays when real life gets in the way. FTP friendly and has an additional game mode we havent even explored yet. Ill give a 5 after a few seasons if there isnt some game breaking bug or exploit we find. The developer also active on discord. Thank you.
When we try to play wr in franchise mode we have no qb to get us passes we need u to fix this issue.
This game is really good, but its limited by the fact that you cannot turn off salary cap, and the salary cap gives you barely any room for good players sticking you into a hope your rookies on 0 mil contract can win you it its almost impossible, but if yall do add a feature that you can remove salary cap, we have some ideas to limit the player, make a cap on how many players above 90 ovr can you have (set this at 15-20 as rookies can come in at 90+) or you can just let it be and let the player make the best squad ever and terrorize opponents.
The game is overall fun to play but it is almost impossible to resign any good players as their contracts become unreachable. A couple seasons in you wont even be able to give your rookies contracts.
Overall a fun game but we just dont understand Ive quick summed about 6-7 seasons as a QB under franchise mode at 99 overall and the only season we made the playoffs was our rookie year. We dont get it.
Game is a little confusing. The tutorial is quick, even during the part where he says Theres a lot going on here! But doesnt proceed to really give an explanation to it. The draft is mid-season and you cant even go back to see which players you need while in the draftI am forgetful. Also why are our rookies OVR a question mark? Developing players has to be the easiest thing to do if you have money to blow. Ive probably spent $40 and yet we feel like we progressed no where. Lately, and worst of all is resigning players. Im unable to differentiate between whos still signed and who isnt until its too late. It says 1 year 1.0M but then suddenly theyre not on our team anymore? Really cool. Also when we spend $1 for a Super Star 99 OVR and trade them and we get offered a 81 OVR player on a 1 year and they wont budge at all.
Great release and will hopefully be patched in future updates. Game is also deep and offers plenty of content to ease into. However, this can feeling both overwhelming and excessive as spending resources takes time to garner. The biggest flaw is the game itself. When you punt from the fifty, the other team starts at their 45 majority of the time. Needs serious work on this end, but holds up.
Add Edit or create draft class and Id give it a 5 star.
Ive been playing all the astonishing sports games for a few years now and this one is by far the least fun. Still a great game, simulation, football, free a bench, etc, however its impossible to win. Ive started 5-6 seasons 11-0 only to finish 11-6 and miss the playoffs. If we ever do make it Im immediately knocked out. Considering we have the highest rating offense and defense out of every team, and rank first in every stat aspect except running, its truly disappointing that the game is so set on making you lose. Also the salary cap is annoying, and unrealistic. As well as the short rookie contracts and the 95+ overall safety and cornerback thats in every draft.
Let us see players total yard in a season durin season not just qb and increase the salary cap for every team the same . And their a glitch when u make a custom play it doubles the play and please add more stats.
If you play WR in the franchise player mode your team will not have a quarterback.
We won the playoffs its really cool and exciting you guys should play it it also have no ads to.
The most intricate football manager game we have played. Very good foundation to grow into one of those top mobile games platform wide. With some funding, this could become the best sports game on app stores. All it needs is slight bug fixes and UI overhaul and would be perfect.
Really good game. Its a fun, detailed, front office simulator. Only issue, the latest update has caused the players head too not appear in the squads screen.
Our franchise player is great but we want it to be were you can pick what position you want to play offense and defense and and have a mode were u have a infinite amount of money please say that you add these things to the next update it will make the game so much better than it is now.
So we played Career Mode as a wide receiver for our team, but we lost every game by 10 or more points. Even worse, when we looked at the stats, it showed that they were passing for -10 Yards. How am we supposed to level up if we cant get yards.
Great game of your are really into simulations game and want a good experience at being a coach in the next level of football.
Make Franchise Tag an ability once you reach a certain status with your team as a coach/owner.
It be noice, let us tell you what this game is the best Ive ever played. Also how bout those! Chiefs.
Its a great game but it would be 5 stars if they created a our player bc all of there other games have one, we would assume there in the process making one and if so Ill wait.
Cool game. We def like the aspect of running a team. Maybe add some more cool features to the actual football game itself.
Can we get a choice of position ? More coins per game would help too.
Before we say anything Im going to say that this is the best football game ever. Ive been searching for years and this is easily the best. The only problem is that we wish that you can go over the salary cap. Thats all.
We love this game since the 21 game. We love that yall added the quarterback mode. We hope that yall include other positions because we love playing linebacker. The only thing is after our rookie season we get dropped to third or fourth string after. Even after we led the team to the championship. We hope yall can fix that. But other than that this game is fun.
So far we find the game pretty simple and straightforward. It would be nice to actually see the players play out the call you make and not just see some player you cant even customize running in place. Other then that the game is pretty good.
We love this game we played it for hours in fact we got it yesterday and have already won 2 championships. But when we tried our qb franchise we feel its to hard to earn the starting roll at Qb. With our Qb we had gotten to an 84 overall and they still had a rookie starting over us. Id love it if you found a way to make it to where overall and exp had a big roll in starting thank you! :).
We love the fact that you can buy things if you want but the games doesnt push it. The Devs rocked this game.
Love the game! The only things we would change is not having all the players look the same and we wish the draft was at the beginning of the season but small flaws lol.
Great way to pass time if you like to build a football team. The customization is super.
