The gameplay of the reviewed football game is characterized by a mix of overwhelming menus and mechanics that can be confusing for new players, highlighting a need for better tutorials. While some players appreciate the balance between casual play and immersive management, there is a sense of stagnation in the game's development, with many mechanics feeling predictable and unintuitive. Overall, the game offers fun experiences, especially with mods, but potential players are advised to explore gameplay footage before diving in.
- “In general, to any football fan, I would tell you to buy this game right away. It's cheap, and with one or two mods, you can play with your local football team, which is super fun. However, I would advise checking out some gameplay first to see if you're into this type of game.”
- “We Are Football 2024 gets an excellent balance between casual gameplay and an immersive management experience, and it's very easy to tell it was made with a lot of love.”
- “Finally, it is very overwhelming at first with a ton of menus, decisions, mechanics, etc. It would have been nice for the developers to include some sort of tutorial.”
- “The game is filled with mechanics that are unexplained or hidden in layers or unrelated UI.”
- “There is a feeling of jadedness towards FM that a lot of people are experiencing; the game has failed to develop really in the 6-8 years, and a lot of the mechanics and gameplay are becoming predictable, for me anyway.”
- “What matters here is the gameplay, mechanics, and the flow of the game, and to me, it just is not intuitive.”
