I'll continue playing this... it's a good game... but the company is arguably shady.

I played some of a 2023... and a lot of 2024... and this game is just not that different. It's not different at all. It has a LOT of issues that you might think they could easily fix with updates but I fully expect those updates to go into 2026's version. This 2025, that's what you get. The problems with it will not be fixed unless you re-buy next years model, get a few things fixed, and then wait for 2027 to fix even more... each time rebuying the whole game.

The advancements from 2023 to 2025 should have been costless updates to 2023 and that's shady profiteering. I won't be buying more of these. I see all of these AI images all looking the same for every player, and I know I'll never see that fixed without buying a whole new game. Shady.

I like all sport management games and played the first version of Tennis Manager a few years back.

Am getting quite into this so far. Just finished first season, after only signing 15-18 year old Brits and aiming to develop them mainly in junior events. Seeing some slow and steady improvements in their stats and results have been up and down, but some tournament wins on medium difficulty, including the Junior Wimbledon title and Junior World cup for the British girls.

Editing training to match your players weaknesses has seen my players improve a fair bit and I would recommend spending a bit of time doing this.

Nice options to set up your own academy from scratch or join existing ones. Also option to make own player or sign an existing one, eg Djokovic or upcoming stars like Alcaraz or Jack Draper.

Highly recommend downloading the real name mod from the workshop as this corrects alot of names, competitions and pictures which helps alot with the realism.

I'm glad this game continues to bring in new features every new game. This 25 version is for sure up on the last year's game. One of my favourite manager games, I love the new features like being able to follow your academy players at various stages of the tournament. The big difference this 25 game is the new youth system and so far I'm loving this.

Massively recommend if you are into manager games!
