Gameplay experience

The overall gameplay experience is good. The controls are easy to understand and use, and the gameplay difficulty is well balanced. You can do everything yourself or get help from your team to make decisions.
The game keeps me moderately interested og gives some sort of excitements along the way. But I feel like the game becomes a bit monotonous. But what can you expect? The game is straight forward and there are limits of how un-monotonous it can be.
Everything you do regarding in-game choices is highly meaningful. This is because everything you do will influence the team. When playing you get rewards for progresses which is satisfying enough.


Presentation & Immersion

The presentation and immersion of the game is very decent. The base “story”, if we can call it that is moderately interesting. I feel moderately immersed into the game, and that’s even more than I thought based on it being a “manager game”.
The visual art style of the game is slightly appealing. I don’t feel the style of the game meets the standards of 2023. The style of a match feels a bit “cheap made”. A very small piece of the game makes this a big part of the game. And I feel every match looks a bit sad and not that immersed. In my opinion every match could be a lot better. I just feel like watching a normal football match as a viewer. But only with less quality, immersion, style and without commentary. It looks like a FIFA game from 2001. Sounds and music is slightly engaging. Sounds are repetitive and overlapping.
The HUD is user-friendly but sometimes during matches it can be a bit hard to use without pausing the match.


Design & Technical Aspects

Game mechanics are well designed, and the content is anywhere from moderate to extensive. General I would say that the AI’s are good. Where also the games settings are flexible.
During my playtime I’ve experienced minor to nontechnical issues or glitches.


Final Considerations

Of my overall experience with the game, I feel very neutral. There are no micro-transactions or in-game purchases.
I will say this that the replay value is high based on the different ways you can manage the teams. For its price, I feel like the game provide a fair value sufficient value. I do though recommend the game for other living souls who would like to see the management side of football.
