I have been playing ManagerLeague for more than 100 seasons, that’s over 8 years now, and I think it’s one of the best.
So give it a shot!
Visual/graphics: 7/10
The match simulation is text based which is not on par with other football manager games. However, everything else is pretty good and there’s an update coming later this year (2020).
Depth/gameplay: 10/10
In my opinion this game gets better the longer you play it. At the start it’s mostly about beating that other manager in your department and managing your team and finances. Later on you can focus on fine tuning everything about your team, optimizing your tactics, scouting, training and buying great players.
Managing finances/transfer market: 9/10
Pricing is quite similar to real life and superstars go for hundreds of millions of ManagerLeague dollars. It’s challenging to play the transfer market and really fulfilling when you finally get your dream player.
Building your stadium, choosing the right sponsor, balancing the income and expenses are also important.
Important note: If you’re team is bankrupt at the end of the season it gets deleted and you’ll have to start over again.
Community: 9/10
The community is very friendly and helpful. There is also a Discord channel where you have direct, almost real-time, contact with the community and developer.
