There's a community in there with camaraderie and kindness but the game is demanding. I gained a double promotion in first season but had already decided to play only for a few days. It rewards presence, you have to turn up incessantly in order to do well. Lots of mini dopamine hits is standard fare in this 2025 attention economy, so no offence to the creator. The 90's simulation games on which it's inspired had a save button. Save buttons are healthy.

Really enjoy this game. I was sceptical at first with all the top reviews because I have been playing football manager games since 1997 but this really does meet my expectations and even higher. what I love most is being able to play other users and interact with them trough the messaging system. it makes it very satisfying when I win! lol 😆 p.s I have built an extremely good team in the two days of playing the game and have not spent any money for gaming coins credits or cash. brilliant

Great football management game with a difference simple to understand and play, but then needs sensible head 8 divisions to progress through and many cup competitions with different levels rewards for achieving targets which are in great numbers with easyvones constantly repeatable like winning 5 games in a row. rewards all increase as you move up leagues. give it a try and you will not be disappointed
