This Game is incredible! It cheats your team to perform much worse than it would, just to trick you into pay to win. Or can you imagine any scenario were a team from first league loses against a tam from 5th league while the ratings are almost twice as good?

Another example... after one season of playing for your team (who just won the national cup, the national championships and a euro cup, one of your best players suddenly loses his form because he wants to play in a "more succesful team"... no matter what you try, that will ruin his mood and his shape. Then finally, you give in and grant him his wish, putting him on the transfer list. The reaction is... the player is UPSET because you put him on the transfer list! LOL.

And there are hundreds of things like this in this stupid game, and the only way to really be able to counter them is BUY ingame currency and cheat in the same way like the game cheats at you.

Don't waste your time on this. It will drive you crazy.

Absolutely awful in its current state.

The transfers are the most unrealistic thing I've seen in any football game. In the first window alone Liverpool sold Salah, Mane, AND VVD. Man United signed de Ligt, Wolves sold 3 Portuguese players, and Spurs signed CR7 - and that was just in the first few days of the window.

Match results are also complete BS. In one game i had 38 shots and still lost. It just all feels completely random and feels like your tactics and squad selection have no real bearing on the outcome of the game. After 19 games played, Newcastle were top of the league and Liverpool and both Manchester clubs were in the bottom half of the table, and we're still in season one!

Clearly very little effort was put into this latest incarnation of the game. Luckily its free or I'd be even more pissed off.

Game is frustrating, you waste your time on a team just to be sacked at any moment for not completing 1 objective even when you improved the team

- Terrible match simulation, players score 2 goals within a 1 minute more offten then rare
- Board expectations are uncrealistic and you get sacked eventually. They expect weaker clubs 50 rated with barely any starting cash to level up facilities, be in top half of the league, incrase club value by buying players and not spend cash to be over 10% profit in season
- Youth players aged 16-17 that got singed with overall 45 expect you to place them in first 11 otherwise they want to leave
- Not being able to place "Not Interested in transfer" on your players and you get bombarded with transfer offers you manually reject each time when you don't want to sell that player

I don't normally do reviews, this game was Okay at the start, the fact that it was free made the little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worth it. I played a season and then downloaded SM 2022, but then I noticed, the director buying players that I didn't need and I was getting injuries every other week.

So I went an downloaded SM 2021 again and the same thing started happening in 2021, every time I was trying to offload players to keep within the training numbers, the director would buy another player keeping me over the limit. Then the injuries started, after every single game I would have 1 or 2 players 'injured in training' despite them being in the match. Over a three day period I had 5 players injured in training, if that was real life I would have Health and Safety trying to close me down, I know it's not real life and I know it's only a game and a free one at that. But the game is becoming almost unplayable without buying in game 'help'. The football match I was playing has just finished and I have 3 email notifications telling me I have surprise, surprise 3 'players injured in training' all 3 were playing in the game.

Now I know there is huge push to encourage me to 'buy in game help' and if I was the kind of person who wanted to cheat my way to the top, I might consider it, but I don't cheat and I don't like people trying to cheat me in to buying 'cheats'. The frustrating thing for me is the time I have put in to building my team and making sure I have updated my manager skills only for those managing skills (especially relating to injuries) to be proved pointless.

The graphics looks like they came straight out of the 90s, also read the privacy policy before considering trying this, thats all im going to say

It's a cheating game! You dont't get all the Credits you buy beacuase full of Bugs, and Bugs lost my entire season! The game drops out continuously and the results are often unrealtistic!

I have emailed the support about this that I would like those lost Credits, no responce!

That's why I strongly advice against this game! A waste of my time and the 20 Euro's I have put into it!

I warn everyone not to play this game!

It could have been a fun little game yet stupid errors ruin it. In my save (Turkish league), teams only sign players within their own country expect for a worldwide total of 4-5 very high rating players (seems scripted or something) each year. Why is that? Do you have any idea how unplayable this makes a long term save? Is this even a finished game? Who tested this? Come on guys.

offside where?

This is not recommended. You don't get the credit you purchase and Soccer Manager doesn't reply to me. Without credits you can't compete. doesn't matter what kind of team you have
