    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users expressing strong dissatisfaction, labeling them as "absolutely bullshit," while others acknowledge the introduction of 3D visuals as a positive step. However, there is a consensus that improvements are needed to enhance the overall visual experience.

    • “Plus now it has 3D visuals which is great!”

  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game has been criticized for its heavy reliance on microtransactions, which some players view as a blatant cash grab, reminiscent of mobile games. While in-game purchases are present, they are not deemed necessary for gameplay, as players can simply reload saves to avoid unfavorable outcomes.

    • “In-game purchases aren't necessary because you can save before each match, and if the result is not right, you can reload your save game and play the match again.”
    • “A cheap and much more simplistic edition of Football Manager 2019. Currently doing a save with Bromley and making good progress. The only disadvantage is that the game sometimes feels like a mobile game with the 'in-app purchases', but that's what you would expect for a free game nowadays.”
    • “Obviously this iteration has become a heavy cash grab!”
    • “Annoying microtransaction pop-ups.”
    • “That, ladies and gentlemen, is a pure cash grab in the most disgusting way.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music features a solid selection of indie rock tracks, with many users praising the quality of the in-menu songs and background music. However, some reviewers suggest that adjustments to the music and sound effects could enhance the overall experience. The inclusion of tracks from small bands is particularly appreciated, adding a unique touch to the game's atmosphere.

    • “The music in the background is fantastic.”
    • “Using music from small bands in the background is amazing.”
    • “There are some nice in-menu songs, mostly indie rock, but they're decent.”
    • “But I think the music and the sound effects should be adjusted.”
    • “Also, using music from small bands in the background is amazing.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in SM19 is engaging and addictive, despite its potential complexity and the presence of pay-to-win mechanics that allow players to purchase in-game currency for significant upgrades. Overall, players appreciate the high quality of the gameplay experience.

    • “Manager games can get overly complicated quickly, but I actually enjoy the gameplay in SM19.”
    • “This game is actually very high quality and the gameplay is scarily addictive, at least for me.”
    • “The gameplay is heavily impacted by pay-to-win mechanics, where purchasing in-game currency gives players an unfair advantage in upgrades.”
    • “The controls feel clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the game.”
    • “The level design is repetitive and lacks creativity, leading to a monotonous gameplay experience.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally easy to play, but users report frequent bugs, including issues with file saving and freezing after significant wins, which can lead to frustration. While the 3D mode could use improvement, many appreciate the developer's effort in maintaining the game's overall stability.

    • “Very simple game, very easy to play, but sometimes buggy and may make you frustrated because of files not saving or it just freezes at the end of a big win.”
    • “Sometimes it's buggy and 3D mode can be improved, but the amount of work and care the developer put into this game cannot be overlooked.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game highlights a challenging transfer system where acquiring a player requires giving up 130% of their value, adding a layer of complexity and strategy to player management.
