WE ARE FOOTBALL Game Cover
We Are Football lays the foundations for future titles to prosper. But as a game, it isn't all that great. The primitive match engine in particular is just not good enough in this day and age. Regardless, there are some good ideas present and it looks far more promising than most of the Football Manager clones that have come and gone. Even if you don't want to wait, it's not like We Are Football is necessarily bad. Some may find the streamlined, faster experience a refreshing change from Football Manager's more complex offerings.

  • gameplay4 mentions

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of strengths and weaknesses; while the match presentation and club-focused mechanics are praised, some players find the reliance on diagrams instead of actual gameplay disappointing. Additionally, certain mechanics, like the impact of red cards, are criticized for disrupting balance and flow. Overall, the game offers innovation but may not fully satisfy all players.

    • “[match presentation, some innovation, focus on the core gameplay]”
    • “Waf has the ability to see the stadium and play during games, but I quickly turned it off once I realized it was just going to show me diagrams and not actual gameplay.”
    • “The game has a very good match presentation and some solid club-focused mechanics, but I am not sure that this is enough to make it a contender.”
    • “A red card for the opponent jump-starts them, and they are almost always scoring immediately and winning the game; it's a terrible mechanic.”
  • graphics3 mentions

    The graphics in the game are criticized for their poor quality, particularly in player faces that resemble cartoons, and the need for a 3D match engine. Additionally, the stadiums suffer from perspective issues, with oversized stands and a lack of realism, while the use of fictional team names closely resembling real-world counterparts raises concerns about originality. Overall, a significant graphical overhaul is needed to enhance the visual experience.

    • “The game would really benefit from a 3D match engine, although the stadium view and facilities need a graphical overhaul. Currently, the stadiums look out of perspective, with the stands and corners appearing massively oversized while the roof does not scale accordingly.”

    • “Definitely, in my opinion, they did not choose whether to develop the product in a humorous or serious manner, and in this case, they really have a lot of ideas to explore - such as a cobra lost on the floor during a motivational speech from the trainer at halftime.”
