The game is praised for its lack of ads, which many players find refreshing and a significant advantage over similar titles. However, there are concerns about the monetization model, as some players feel pressured to make in-game purchases to progress effectively, particularly due to long wait times between seasons. Overall, while the absence of ads is a major positive, the game is perceived as leaning towards a "pay-to-win" structure, which may frustrate some users.
“Great game, in-app purchases are cheap, would recommend.”
“Best football career game I have played so far, it does not force you to make many unnecessary in-game purchases to have fun.”
“No ads, no push for money.”
“The only game that ever forced me to make an in-game purchase.”
“Progression is slow and frustrating; even after making small in-game purchases, I couldn’t break past an 85 rating.”
“Decent but you will never play top flight unless you buy in-app purchases.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the smooth mechanics and realistic statistics, while others criticize issues such as lack of player aging, bugs during 1v1 scenarios, and a desire for more interactive elements like live simulations. Some users find the game easy to understand but feel that it lacks depth, as much of the experience involves waiting for results rather than actively participating. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, there are significant areas for improvement, particularly in enhancing player engagement and fixing technical issues.
“Mechanics make sense and the game flow is smooth.”
“Best game, no ads, super good gameplay, I love it.”
“This is a freaking good game, awesome setup for pure football career fans and smooth gameplay with awesome tunes. I recommend you this game.”
“A couple of minor irritations in the gameplay: if you get promoted, your team doesn't improve and you're pretty much guaranteed to get relegated again. Also, players don't age; Mo Salah was winning the Ballon d'Or at the age of 50.”
“Terrible gameplay in terms of duels; imagine having such a gap in percentage against your opponents and you still lose.”
“It's so realistic, but the only problem is the gameplay. You do nothing; you just expect something to happen. I think the game would be better if we could do something instead of just clicking and waiting for the result.”

The game's stability has been criticized due to numerous bugs, including issues with experience gain, cooldown timers freezing, and inconsistent gameplay mechanics. Players report that these glitches significantly hinder their experience, leading to frustration and a reluctance to continue playing until updates are released. Overall, while the game has potential, its current stability issues detract from the enjoyment.
“Bug report: When I played a new game, if you didn't upgrade the 5k training star, you won't get any experience/stats for that respective attribute (jumping, shooting, etc). Please fix this. :( I already tried reinstalling, but it's still buggy.”
“It's a really good game, but the season cooldown is very buggy. It has been over 6 hours, and it still claims I need to wait 6 more hours. I hope they can resolve this bug.”
“Not great, very buggy. There's a good concept to it; however, if you aren't going to pay, you're going to grind. There are a lot of bugs, one of which comes to mind is that I am a max-rated player. Everything I max rated, I'm playing in my second year in the Scottish Championship, and I have had 32 penalties saved in a row when the goalkeeper has between 5% and 20% chance of saving it.”

Overall, players find the game enjoyable but suggest improvements in optimization, particularly in showcasing player performance and progress during gameplay. Additionally, there are calls for more accurate player names and a fairer system for awarding accolades like the Ballon d'Or, focusing on performance rather than reputation.
“It's a really good game, and other aspects are great, but you need to make the players' names correct. The Ballon d'Or awards should be given based on the player's performance in that season, not just their reputation. Besides that, the game is good.”
“It's easy to understand the game, but it would be better if you could show us the gameplay on the field as a manager. It would help a lot if you could see the player's performance and progress on and off the field.”
