Soccer Manager 2023 Reviews

I have given this game three chances; I saw that they updated recently and I hoped the developers fixed SM23. I am completely shocked. There is always a glitch where the user is kicked out and completely stripped of their newly-transferred players. What is even more frustrating is that the money is still cut off from the transfer! Every time I play this game I always lose, even when I had better players. This game is created merely for money; all of the bugs steal your money and block you from doing anything. I know most mobile games do not have a “Create a Club” feature, but Soccer Manager 23 isn’t worth it.

This is by far the worst game I’ve ever played. For starters the graphics are terrible and the player’s design look nothing like them. Whenever your playing a game you can have like 7 shots and 4 on target and not score whilst your opponent can score with their first shot on target. It’s obvious the game is scripted. If the game wants you to lose your going to lose, if the game wants you to concede your going to concede. There’s nothing you can do about it you can switch all your tactics up and still lose. The AI is terrible. Your players chooses to shoot from a tight angle rather than square the ball which is frustrating as the opponent is able to do it. Don’t waste your time installing this game, it’ll only make you frustrated.

I’m here to let you know that there is no point in playing this game, you will be so frustrated. Another game where you can do everything correctly but yet the game has already decided before you load it up who is going to win every single game, and it ain’t gonna be you boss. You are going to get rolled every single game, even with making the proper adjustments, fixing tempo, positioning, basically going in depth with what you want your players to do. Also you can set your players fatigue level to slow, but it literally takes the same amount of energy. I enjoy the concept of this game but it’s just a hey pay this money to get these guys so you have a better chance of winning. Oh yeah and I went through 3 weeks and only had 1 training session? The game would not let me run anymore training, so my players won’t get better at all. And I have the training facilities. Overall the devs want to to spend the money so they made the game next to impossible, BUT they aren’t as money hunger as other games. Also the animations are terrible, goal keeper literally was walking around outside the box when the ball was on our half, like what is that my guy. Idc how trash a GK is none of them are doing that especially when the opposing team is in scoring position

I want to start by saying that I love this game. I have played it for the past few years and it's been great. This year, I was 8-9 years into my manager career and was sacked for literally no reason at all. I fulfilled all of the goals and was towards the too of prem and champions league. For how much time (and money) I've invested into this game, I find it incredibly frustrating it had to end this way. I don't want to stop playing, but I have to stop, knowing I could get sacked for any reason.

Okay the game is really nice though, but the problem you will have while playing the game is the little money the club gives you. This game is by far better than any manager game I have played this year,and another problem is the way clubs like Arsenal out bid you when you are in a club like Barcelona.I will want to sign a player after selling some of the players in my team and clubs that have only 45m and did not sell any player will beat to it. Please this needs to be fixed.

The game is dupe tho but I have some issues with the transfer , 1) money given my the club to make transfers is up to nothing 2) winning the league and you’ll be given money that not even enough to sign one good player , it’s annoying, . I wanted to sign a player but the team refuse my 80 million bid then after I withdrew my bid they later sold him out for 60 million. You just need to amend that swap deal needed on the next version of the game

The game play and whole lot on the game has improve and makes the game nice but you having to pay over the odds for players is really awful. And having to you use coins on a player which the AI beats you to but either won’t sign the player or the deal collapsing is also good

And also having to play the FIFA Club World finals a day before a league game is also isn’t something realistic. And also the time the Champions League knockout matches start also needs to be looked at

Year to year soccer manager outshines Football manager, despite being a free game, it seems to have loads more content and depth. However, there are two issues that turn this game off for me. One - Transfers make no sense. I made a 60 million dollar bid for Jude Bellingham with Liverpool, and Arsenal outbid me eventually with an 85 million dollar bid. Despite them only having a budget around 45-50 mil, and having sold no players, it makes no sense that they can afford that. It’s almost like this game incentivises you to pay for coins, or buy players from the spotlight section by making purchasing players as difficult as possible and always favouring the AI. Second - the UI in this game is awful. I’ve managed to navigate the game fine, but it’s ugly to stare at, and there’s wayyy too much going on. I get pumped with ads, which is fine for a free game, but all these boosts/watch videos for perks are so unnecessary, and make the game really shallow. It’s like they combined ultimate team with career mode and then plastered ads all over it. Fun game to play for a moment, you’ll get tired of it quickly

Also can you remove the agent coin fee it is not useful since the agents asks for ridiculous contracts. Also transfer fees could Be higher This would've been a 4-5 star but this game is missing this as well as global competitions like the world cup euros and copa America. Also players don't upgrade when they perform well. Players get injured too often. You lose more matches and your team doesnt try at some points

This game is GREAT. I absolutely love the mechanics and such. The graphics are decent, but I love the design of how you do everything. When I downloaded it I was expecting to have it be a game of skill. This is no game of skill. I won one match, and was very excited. I lost 5 matches after that. At one point, my team had the ball, but the ball somehow teleported to the other team’s possession. I cannot win at all. This game is rigged. If you want to play something that is fun and about skill, go somewhere else.

..get used to wasting days of your life watching ads if you don’t want to pay $15-20 to be able to compete. Been playing for a month and made it through 2-3 seasons maybe? Also, biggest issue with the game for me, saving your game stats is NOT working. The amount of times I’ve completed an important transfer or won a critical game, to then come back after leaving the game and finding out that my progress hasn’t saved is mind boggling. Makes me not want to play anymore. This happened sooooo many times now even though game says saving. Get this under control please.

Transfer is ridiculous I can’t accept requests to sell and no club bides normally and competition money is like playing for nothing You need to change how you chose world best player and why is the monthly and seasonal best 11 4 per team when I have players playing good. GK has no clean sheets record, no record of club legends even an insight to a player’s record retired and present. The team training and development is so limited and training day notification should be amongst the top visible notifications. You need to improve this game a lot because it’s no longer as satisfying even the gameplay if made better will limit the option of canceling matches

This game is close to one of the best managing games in mobile. But I will like to address some challenges I’ve been facing
First of all I concede after a substitution is made right away which makes the game annoying to play.
Also whenever I play a match against team with low rated players it’s difficult to win and I even end up losing
To add up, I can get about 15 shots and still not score a single goal and yet concede to a team with 5 shots, in the same match my players can get ratings above 8 while the opposition team get 6.0 as highest yet they score me and I loose which makes the game look terrible.
I hope you’ve read my review and make a change in the next update, thank you.

To make the game more realistic please been a soccer manager game player since it start just reduce the time of the 3d match engine make it a little bit faster for a wonderful time experience and some audio commentary just to call out the player names I will love these experience let get soccer manager more than 4 star rating soccer is always boring with out a audio commentary

The graphics in the video look cool as well as the gameplay, but when I downloaded it on my phone it didnt look very style-ish, & the players are all wonky. Every time a player got infront of someone, they either fell down or they’re just standing infront of them and allowing them to score. This is frustrating for people who experience this type of stuff out of games and it doesnt make it fun at all. infact, It makes it to where you have to delete it, & I dont wanna delete this game cause it has potential, but that potential wont be reached if yall dont fix these issues. Again, good game, but it really needs to change now.

Please you should update the awards and giving best coach and some other things like the trophy cabinet for players and bringing some old players back as part of coaching staffs there should be options for that and I think there should be ballon d’or for best players based on stats for club and country not just some random picking.
Been playing since SM19 till now so I’ll appreciate if you can improve that’s and cautioning players to be requesting for too much game time when they are injured already and morales keep dropping drastically

Very great game for anyone inspired to be a soccer manager and control on and off decisions happening in the pitch But the game got some issues Like for example: I made a bid for Mbappé twice with a 100m dollars my bid was rejected as not big enough but after a week Madrid signed Mbappé for 70m dollars I was soo mad cuz I really like Mbappé and wanted him in my team but things weren’t just fair
But except from this all the game is great 👍🏽

I think this game as always been the best manager game ever over all the other manager games been playing this game from 2020 so I’m glad I played all and now 2023 is out it smooth as ever all transfers and stats is the best but I would be loved if we could be able to coach a national team as well as club team too I hope the developers can consider this

After playing the 2022 version I really liked the game but the graphics bugged me a bit and it felt sort of like a bootleg FM, but the new 23 version has the great gameplay and also much improved graphics which are simply nice to the eye. They made certain things here and there look better and it really improves the experience for me, so well done. I recommend to get the game right away!

Really need to add international to the game and when it’s euro World Cup or world qualifiers time you will get job offers from nations create a club or manager mode this would be quite fun because it would add more to the game like selecting your World Cup squad etc and winning the prestigious trophy. overall great game I just feel like it’s missing that to be perfect

If bids are brought in for our players, we the managers must also be able to offer our bid i.e the amount of money we require before selling the player in question. Also we should be able to set a selling clause for some of our players.

I have three complaints but I love this game so much and I don’t mean any offense because this will always be one of my favorite mobile football games but the only problems are 1. with the transfer budget, it’s always so low even when you’re a big club 15m is usually what you have even if you made 1 signing, 2. only one save slot is criminal it’s unnecessarily hard to get a 2nd one without spending money and 1 save slot is frankly not enough to enjoy the game’s potential to the fullest, 3. The loading time when I first downloaded this took almost an hour and made me wait crazy long

It’s horrible and very unfair. I’ve played it for the past weeks and it unfair. It always lets the other team get the ball even when they are worse than you and when you get the ball it’s either they made you miss or the get the ball from you and they score and your not able to get the ball from them. I’m never playing again
