    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some users describing them as "horrible" and "retro," while others find them acceptable given the game's focus on mechanics and management. While the lack of licensing and a clunky interface are noted, many players feel that these limitations do not significantly detract from the overall experience. Additionally, there are options for graphics and name patches that can enhance the visual appeal for those interested.

    • “As other reviewers have mentioned, there exists a real names patch and a graphics patch for face picks, so don't be discouraged by the lack of licensing.”
    • “It doesn't offer a lot graphically, but it is very detailed as far as managing a team and using analytics to create the best team possible.”
    • “Horrible graphics; the explanation is useless. If you've had a really good month at work, received a promotion, bought your wife or girlfriend a new purse, treated yourself to a new coat, and pimped out your car with a new sound system, you might still have a few bucks to waste on this.”
    • “The mechanics for playing individual games are modest but enjoyable. While the interface is a bit clunky and the graphics and sound are retro, none of the limitations are deal killers.”
