Ultimate Pro Football GM Reviews

I have never been more angered by a game than this one. I get the point of the game and what it is trying to achieve, and to some degree it does, but MAN DOES IT ABSOLUTELY ABUSE NEW PLAYERS! The tutorial is terrible and does not explain the mechanics of the game. No matter how hard I try to keep my finances in the positive, they ALWAYS go negative even when I cut players or trade for cheaper ones. The sponsors, gear and ticket prices aren't explained and can’t be controlled well. You just set it and that’s it. There’s no explaining how it effects your budget and after doing this for 5 or 6 seasons in a row, I get fired because my bank account goes negative. Of course there is something I’m doing wrong, but the game does no favors in letting you know exactly what’s wrong. On top of that, player value isn’t explained either. Random 69 overalls are worth 1k points while an 83 overall is 550 points. Makes NO sense and isn't explained. To go further, you aren't notified when your coaches contracts are up. I’ve lost countless coaches due to not knowing their contract is up. There’s 49 people on the roster and 8 coaches. You’d think that they’d keep track of that for you too, but it’s not. I’ve given this game my best shot over and over and over and nothing seems to work.

I have a brain injury from Afghanistan and things with numbers help my brain grow. This game up until they started this undrafted player is winning every award stuff started happening. Like you literally ruined something I thoroughly enjoyed for greed. Now i can’t even play it, because really what the point? Unless I spend money my team will always be terrible and I’ll get beat out by these undrafted phenoms. When i drafted a qb #1 overall and he would win rookie of the year. Now that just doesn’t happen. You don’t even have a chance because the game is overloaded with these undrafted freaks. Spend money or don’t have fun. Like you killed the baseball game for me too with that. You’re killing this one too. Can I reload an earlier version I purchased? I hate the new update and it makes me not even want to play the game anymore. Please save my joy and let me get an earlier version. You changed the salary part in contracts too. Seriously leave well enough alone. You had a good game and now you wanting people to pay for upgrades is killing it. Seriously please at least let me have the earlier version I purchased and not this hot garbage.

I love the game itself. Has great mechanics, fun trading/draft scenarios, overall is a fun experience. But you definitely need to eventually pay to keep the game fun. If you start out with a bad franchise, it’s almost impossible to balance tp points/money to upgrade training facilities, coaches, and switch player types to fit scheme without paying money. It makes the early game so tedious and you’ll be lucky to get a championship without paying a little. If you pay for the upgraded version of the game where you can start out with a good franchise, the game is so fun in the early stages because you can work your team to stay in championship contention for a while. The problem then becomes they give gear to other teams which add +10 to most stats and it creates a huge gap between team overalls. I had 1 team have an overall at 110 with players at 130 overall while I max out at around 104 with the best gear you can buy without spending real money. That completely ruins the game as you stand no chance without buying to to max out coaches and buying special +5 gear to compete. I keep seeing the developer reply you don’t need to buy, but if you want to actually win more than a lucky year here and there, you 100% have to buy.

I really enjoy the game, but the recent update with the U.I. Just makes it a chore. Take signing players. I used to be able to look at my team and sign each person by comparing them to others in the same position. But now, I sign a player, and it takes me to all of the players instead of keeping me on the same screen. So before I could sign everyone in a couple of minutes, but now I have to click through a bunch of screens each time to go back and compare every time I sign a player. It just throws off how we used to be able to sign and compare by force you to a new screen. Another issue is hiding your projected money behind another screen. You used to be able to compare quickly, but now you have to click through again. The biggest issue right now is free agency. Before you could sign a 90+ ovr and still be able to sign a couple of 80s. But now, you sign one player and then all that’s left is an expensive quarterback with a bunch of 70s, making it a bigger grind to get out of last place. The first three seasons left me still in last place because of that, making me choose one good player in free agency, and one possible good player in the draft. The changes really keep me from wanting to play, turning an enjoyable few hours a game into a grind not worth it. You may want to look at some of these issues because I don’t see myself playing it much now. Just good for thought.

This game is honestly one of the best games for me to play when I’m bored, it teaches me how to run a team even if it’s a game. The only thing I don’t like is the Returner position, I don’t think there should be independent players for that position, I feel like I should be able to place WR or RB at that position so I don’t spend any more money on my that position, another thing i don’t like is how I’m not able to specifically able to change contracts to pay players a specific amount in different years, I also think the maximum years on a contract should be 10 not 7, another thing is how you need a super team to win games, yes I agree that in nfl you obviously need a good team but realistically teams aren’t made of so many good players but only a few on each team, this is why the teams are a little unbalanced and unrealistic, and I think that there should only be 6 rounds in the draft. Other than that this game is the most played game on my phone

I so far have found the game to be absolutely addicting. No “energy” mechanics or annoying pay to win scams, just raw management fun. My only complaint is the difficulty. Maybe I’m just missing some mechanic, but despite having built a solid roster, matching gameplan and player chemistry, and a solid coaching staff, the absolute best I can do is a wildcard run, only to get absolutely stomped in said wildcard. The only thing that has been turning me off of the game lately is what seems to be a massively overinflated home field advantage, which leads to my playoff losses. If I’m playing a team with a rating even 5 above mine at home, I’ll win every time. I’ll play against the worst team in the league at their stadium and get smashed by 17+ points. Once you notice this pattern, the game gets incredibly predictable and a bit boring, and it feels like my record gets capped at 10-7. Like I said, maybe I’m missing something and just bad at the game, but if the home field advantage could be reduced a bit to make wins and losses more fair and stat-based, it’s easily the best football game on UltimateProFootballGM store and an easy 5 star. 6 if it were available :)

I wrote this in the subreddit but i’ll past it here in regards to Training Points. I in no way hate the game but these are just my thoughts:
like i don’t care about “bad personality so it costs more”, in the basketball general manager you legit get 450k TP just for winning a championship FOR AN 11 MAN ROSTER and 4 staff. But nah for a 49 man roster let’s give them 200k TP FOR 8 STAFF AND 49 PLAYERS by the SLIM chance that you win the championship. The TP system is just not it, and with one bad season you have a chance of dipping in the negatives with how costly salaries are regardless of team/player overall along with the cost if facilities. Like if the coaches had like an influence rating, which could potentially change the playstyle of a player from his current style and convert to the coaches style, it would make it more manageable because coaches should be teaching their style to players. It’s called adjustment. So having coaching play styles adopted would make it more realistic. You can see this in the game Club Soccer Director 2021. It’s a good game but needs tweaks.

I love this game so much. I spend hours playing it all the time. Slowly upgrading my facilities and improving my team. That said though, there’s a few implementations that could drastically improve the game. One such being a trade market. Meaning, making it easier to switch between teams instead of having to find a player from said team to then initiate a trade. Also, balancing the value of players. I have a young Qb rated 99 overall and he’s nowhere near in value as an opponent qb also rated 99 overall. This would make it more feasible to trade for players. Also, I would like to see a better system when it comes to negotiations. Such as being able to low ball some players and running the potential risk getting rejected. Lastly, I want to have the ability to pick up teams that are already good instead of starting off at the bottom every time. Making it to where there’s different starting points adds more flavor to the game. All in all, I love this game so much and I want to see it continue to grow and expand by adding new dimensions to the game. To recap it, a trade market system, more elements to negotiations, balancing player value, and potential adding hidden gems or bust to the game. Thanks!

I do not usually write reviews but I wanted to take the time to review this one. This game is excellent top to bottom! If you are a sports management junkie like myself I highly recommend this game. The game’s UI is very quick and you can move through categories with ease and the execution of running a team is amazing. From drafting to having to balance your salary cap I’ve enjoyed this game since the moment I started playing.

The game is already 5 stars in my eyes but I would like to highlight a couple things I’d like to see added/reworked:
1. Offer more to spend the money you make on. Once I got both my stadium and Training facility up to 5 star there was nothing else for me to level or build. Maybe a practice facility or fan experience upgrades.
2. It’s super easy to fleece a team out of all of its top draft picks for the next 3 years, all you have to do is draft a qb in the first or early second and offer it to the worst team in the league for all of their 1st round picks and usually a couple of their 2nd’s. The trade system is a little to easy to navigate in my opinion because any team will take any trade as long it is even/close to even in value.
3. It would be a lot more fun if teams came to you and offered trades. Adding this element would add another in season management factor.

But like I mentioned the game is amazing as is, I very highly recommend it!

First of all, this game is insanely fun. Definitely upgrade to the premium version. It makes the game so much easier, since moving players to new positions is a much needed feature for a GM.

A couple of things that I’ve noticed in my time on the game.
1. It would be amazing (amazing, as in cool beyond words), if you could hire legendary players as coaches. They’d obviously lose stats and see a bump down, and you’d have the chance that they’re downright terrible, but it would be really neat just the same.

2. I feel like there isn’t as much risk in the game as there could be. Maybe give each player and coach a certain chance of “busting,” or being much worse than they show when hired or drafted. That would really make drafting WAY more strategic than it currently is.

3. Being able to move assistant coaches into the HC spot. When a HC retires or is fired, maybe include the option to move your favorite assistant coach to his spot, as either interim, or permanent coach. Again, as in point number 1, there could always be the chance that they’re terrible, or that their stats take a significant hit and they have to be taught everything all over again. On the flip side they could possibly get a boost and become an incredible coach.

Just a few thoughts for the devs. Again, the game is incredible, and I honestly spend an absurd amount of time on it. Thanks again guys!

It really is a great game if you like quick pace, being able to get through seasons at a high speed even if you watch the play by play instead of simulating. If you put in some time you could literally burn through 20 seasons with tons of time left in your day. Not sure how I like the Coaching Tiers or the upgrades now being up to Level 10. Granted it does make the game more challenging, and once you get a foot hold it’s a little easier to stay on pace instead of falling behind, climbing up is significantly more of a challenge though. But still being able to manipulate a select few rules to your advantage obviously can balance it out. Still, a very good game if you want to kill time and see results immediately, regardless if you play it straight and try to build a team by the books. OR just set the cap to a ridiculous number, turn off injuries and suspensions, put the game on easy and just run wild.

Downloaded the game because I love football and this game is amazing definitely better than madden by a landslide everything in this game is down great down to every detail I've played into the 2060 season and it has perfect. Two things I hope they add are a playoff bracket because it can be confusing looking at the schedule and conferences to see who I could play next and it could make it easier to look at. Last thing because ive gotten so far i have noticed that around the last 10 seasons there have only been about 3 QB’s with a A+ grade going into the draft just wish QB’s were a little bit higher in comparison to the rest of their draft class. Other than those small details this game is definitely a great game and deosn’t have any real issues so I would definitely recommend if you like football or managing a sports team. Definitely 5 stars and Thanks to the developers for this game they did a unbelievable job.

I’ve played UFGM for a couple of years now, and it’s one of the best mobile game experience I’ve ever had. The gameplay is simple, yet addicting, and it’s fun to build dynasties that last for dozens, or even hundreds of years. The game features great balancing systems that prevent you from winning every single year as well. I highly recommend getting the premium version, as it’s only a single dollar and makes the gameplay far more engaging.

Now, I’ve played this game for years now, but recently came across an issue in my franchise in the year 2392 (if anything tells you how good of a game this is, it’s that). I was worried I wouldn’t be able to progress the game any further, and contacted customer support. They were unbelievably helpful, and were able to restore my save incredibly quickly. I give a glowing review to both the gameplay and the developers on creating such a great game.

Honestly, this is a very challenging game. It can be easier with the full version, but, it requires a lot of strategy and planning. However, if you like strategic games, love being just the GM in madden franchise mode, and are up for a challenge, this is the perfect game for you. From the way you draft, to the way you develop your coaches, everything needs to coordinate together. I’ve had to restart a few times to fully understand how I wanted to plan my strategy, but once you understand the game, you will never stop playing. It even has records, HOF, individual team records, and keeps track of all the stats players have gotten while playing for your team. If you made it through this review, you now understand how awesome this game really is and that you must download it. I hope they continue to develop and grow this game! I know they do update it as they just made the trade screen 10x better than it was. Download it now!!

I like how much faster this game feels compared to the other games made by the same developer. All of the updates add to the game in positive ways wether it’s fixing bugs or just making the game more enjoyable. This game is awesome and they have amazing developers!
The only thing that I don’t like about this game is that at a point in the game the AI teams get a gear bonus of +10? This makes their already good teams into unbeatable, as the player the highest free option for gear gives +3, if you spend money that can go up to +5. AI gets +10? It seems unfair that the game doesn’t have the same option available for the player, free or pay. The way I’d solve this problem is just get rid of that feature, only allow the AI to get +5 gear and nothing greater than what is available to the player.
Other than that one negative, it’s a great game and I would recommend you try out the other games, basically they function the same just in different sports!

This is truly an excellent strategy game. If you enjoy the process of considering multiple variables and then figuring out the right choices to make for long-term success, then you’ll enjoy this game. No mindless arcade play here. Just classic general manager decision making regarding selection, negotiation with and development of coaches, senior staff and players; sponsorship deals; facilities, etc. The season is simulated with the franchise you build, and you (hopefully) learn from the results. Create a dynasty if you can. Download and enjoy!

For the developer: no significant suggestions for improvement. A couple of minor ones: 1) It would be nice to see more options in response to player misconduct (like suspensions, maybe?), with greater variability in outcomes depending on the choice made. 2) Would be great to have the AI occasionally reach out to offer a trade (both good and bad ones) even when a player is not on the trade block. These are, of course, minor suggestions. Overall, love the game. Great work!

I love the game. A few features I would recommend to make it almost perfect. Although this games great some things in the game are slightly frustrating and some just kinda annoying. For one I find it very unrealistic and somewhat annoying that running backs are unrealistically good, for example in one of my leagues I drafted a running back who had 30+ rushing touchdowns a season and around 2500 rushing yards a season with 1000+ receiving yards and 15+ receiving touchdowns, it’s cool that I drafted someone so good, but I’m my opinion it’s too good as I found it to be too often that running backs do that good and every season it seems like the MVP is a running back and occasionally a QB which is very unrealistic. Also that running back I drafted ended with 10 mvps before he retired, pretty stupid if you ask me. Besides that I’d like to see more character customization, more scenarios, players that aren’t all insanely skilled to the point of unrealism. Overall great game, just slightly repetitive and the players specifically running backs and some QBs are beyond good, I’d like to see more realistic stats

I’ve been playing this game since around the time of its original release and it has been one of the only mobile games I will actually spend hours playing. One of the few mobile games left that doesn’t have ads and require you to pay like 5 dollars for removal of ads. I don’t usually write reviews but this game deserved a good one for how much time I spend and how much excitement I get from playing this game. The game continues to have amazing updates and to the developers my one sole request is to change up the reordering of the lineup. I want to be able to put a younger lower overall five star player as my wide receiver one rather than staring him and having to hope he performs and develops to get above the others. I feel the reorder U.I. is good but if you could move the players around their character block around to either first string, second, bench, etc. then the game would have more immersion with the depth chart because once I build my power house team I wanna develop my academy guys but have them at wide receiver one. Hopefully this is a good explanation about how I’d change the reorder system but this one thing doesn’t take away how amazing this game truly is.

I love your game and have played it extensively. With that being said, i even believe it’s the best football mobile game on the market and have gladly poured a lot of time and money into it. However, I have a few suggestions as to how you could cement its status as the ultimate football management experience.
1. Debunk home-field advantage: Obviously home field advantage in the NFL is a very real thing and teams often perform better at home than they do on the road, however I’ve noticed a pattern that the only way you’ll have a shot at winning on the road is if your team eclipses the others in ratings on both offense and defense, if the opponents ratings are equal on even one of the two I believe they win without fail. Again, home field advantage is real but i definitely feel there should be more randomness to it.
2. Draft gems: The draft system in this game is pretty solid all in all and i have no real complaints about it. Just think it would be awesome if you were to add in some hidden studs or perhaps make the scouting process more player-involved.

All in all you’ve already created a wonderful experience (love all the new hairstyles and things btw) and these are just some suggestions to sweeten it even further :)

Ah it's addicting, im turning into a feen like a junkie without there drugs, except it's me whenever I'm without this game

I honestly just like building nothing into something and to do it with my favorite sport is great, I like the challenge it gives, you really have to think about your next move

My recommendations for this game:
When you play the game I figured you could pick plays, go for it on 4th etc, I think you should make it interactive, especially pvp even though I haven't played it I assume it's the same, I think you guys should make it where YOU determine if you win or lose by your decisions instead of just skipping and seeing who wins

And I don't know If this is in the game or not but if a player has a good game they should get a training point, and with that training point you should be able to select 1 out of the 4 columns of there skillsets which one you would like to upgrade so you can choose

Add a 1 on 1 talking segment so you can boost your players personality like maybe with a dialogue

And when a player gets in trouble maybe add a dialogue to that player so you can talk to him and have a conversation because right now it's just plain and add more incidents because once you start playing you see the same thing over and over

That's about it for now
