Players have expressed frustration with the game's music, particularly noting that while they can adjust the soundtrack volume during gameplay, the main menu music is excessively loud and cannot be modified. This lack of volume control for the main menu detracts from the overall experience.
“Another frustrating issue with the game is that while it's possible to change the soundtrack volume when you start a game, there's no way to adjust the volume of the main menu music, and it's way too loud.”

The humor in the game is occasionally amusing but not overly complex, with some players noting a lack of the comedic elements found in previous titles like Anstoß. While the humor may not be a standout feature, it still contributes to an enjoyable gaming experience.
“Sometimes funny, rarely confusing.”
“I used to play Anstoß and the FIFA Manager. Even though it is missing the humor from Anstoß, it is still nice to play. It would be great if one could switch countries.”

The atmosphere of the game is perceived as overly casual, lacking depth in team selection and management, which contributes to a sense of blandness. Players feel that the game does not engage them sufficiently, leading to disappointment in its overall ambiance.
“I realize it is a casual game, but still it is on the more casual side of casual games than I was expecting - no depth in the team selection, management, and a lack of atmosphere... honestly, I can do better than that.”
