Gameplay is noted for its initial complexity, requiring players to invest time to fully understand the mechanics, which can lead to a rewarding experience. However, some users feel it lacks depth in areas such as player contracts, manager relationships, and strategic in-game tactics.
“I also recommend you take your time to learn the game properly; it's very daunting at first but when you sink a couple of hours into it and fully learn the mechanics, it is very rewarding.”
“The lack of depth in gameplay is evident in player contracts and transfers, as well as the relationship between players and managers. The 'morale' system feels superficial, merely giving players with low morale some game time without any real impact.”
“Game mechanics are quite limited, offering little room for in-game strategy and tactics. It would be great to have the option to create custom attacking moves to enhance the gameplay experience.”
“Overall, the gameplay feels repetitive and lacks the complexity needed to keep players engaged. There are few meaningful choices or strategies to explore.”
