Soccer Tycoon: Football Game

So far I have completed nearly 5 seasons. Great fun and very addictive! Would give more than five stars if I could. It’s nice in that if you are busy and don’t have hours upon hours each day to grind on a game it’s perfectly fine. I jump into it a couple times a day, make a few decisions for my club (Dagenham), let a few matches run and all is good. It’s all about strategy and carefully managing the resources of the club to build it. Each move… be it a staffing hire or fire, acquiring players, selling players, upgrading facilities, etc. must be weighed with proper consideration for the overall impact to the club. You have to be patient especially at first because resources are limited. Make your choices carefully and do your research. Not every player that your scouts recommend is necessarily worth the investment. This is where the fun is because you start with a small club and grow it based on your stewardship. Take the opportunities to watch adds for money or coins that will provide you with some additional resources. Do not, however, expect to be taking over Barcelona after putting in a couple hours’ time in the game. You can choose to purchase coin packs in the app if you’re impatient and want more resources to be able to move things along much more quickly if that’s your prerogative. Regardless, I do recommend the in-app purchase that removes the requirement to watch an ad for business opportunities that will increase your operating capital. Of course, various aspects of an entire football club organization are simplified for purposes of playability. Tons of actual/real European football clubs are included… the players themselves are fictitious. Admittedly, this is the only football management game I have tried so I have no basis for comparison… but I have no interest in giving anything else a shot. This game is everything I need and so much downright addictive football management fun.

I have found this game to deliver what it intends, and I am pleased with the entertainment. The developers are correct in stating that you can compete at the top with only spending your time on watching adds :). Indeed it takes a while, but for me the strategy and planning was fun so I did not mind patiently building my team, without spending actual money. The lack of the money grab here by developers was refreshing, but surely you can jump start your success with an investment.

This game is pretty good and arguably one of the best free football managing games on the App Store, but there are some massive issues that really kill the game. •Why do I lose money every week in game during the off-season when I literally CANT play any games to make money back!? Please fix this massive issue immediately because it makes the game impossible to progress financially as I was in debt before I played even ONE game in my first season. At this point in my 5th season, I’m 700k in debt and have never even been close to making profit on a season. I understand losing money during away games on the season but NOT during the off-season. If this issue could be resolved it would solve the only issue I have in this game as the rest of my problems relate to this. • Why is there a massive gap between the end of December and March where there are no games played? It makes no sense that no games are played for months in the middle of the season, and I also still lose money every week during that break. • I’ve reached the point where since the finances are broken and I’m 700k in debt, when I try to get better players on Bosman Free Transfers they will agree to sign but the game blocks the deal because I can’t afford $0 to get a free transfer! These are massive issues, but the only issues I have with the game as the rest is very well put together and is a really good game. I’d greatly appreciate those changes, thanks!
