The graphics of the game are generally considered subpar, with some users noting that even free games offer better visuals. While the in-game graphics serve a humorous purpose, the focus is primarily on decision-making and planning rather than visual appeal. Many reviewers express that improvements to the user interface could elevate the game significantly, but it currently falls short compared to competitors with more engaging graphics.
“If they fixed the user interface, it'd be the best sim of football out there. Instead, it has to take second place behind the likes of Front Office Football 8's aging visuals, when it wins hard in that department because of it not being so stationary, and gives you more than just words and works well with graphics.”
“The user interface may bug me more because I am in the field of graphic design and technical computer studies.”
“Fun if you like managing a team - in-game graphics and stuff is just for laughs; the meat here is the decision-making and planning.”
“Not worth the money; the game is decent, but I've seen free games with better graphics.”
