    I decided to put some hours into this to give a fair review as at first I was quite disappointed but didn't want to criticise too early. However, now I have given it a chance I would not recommend the game in the state it is in. It is early access so could still improve though. I have over 15 years experience and countless hours racked up on the Championship Manager/Football Manager series so have a good idea on how a football management simulator should be and unfortunately, this is not it.…

    What a waste of money, I understand it is early access, but this is pretty terrible in this state - I would not recommend spending anything on this in it's current state - values are ridiculous, match day is dull...feel robbed.

    Finger weg! Das Spiel ist offiziell "abandoned" - es wird nie fertig erscheinen! Ist mir ein Rätsel, warum das hier noch für Geld verkauft werden darf.

    The state of the game is far from being playable -> refund. Given the time that went by since the start of the development and the state the game is in right now, I do not expect this game to make it to a finished product ever.

    Cashgrab not unlike a crypto scam in my eyes. This was dead on arrival and there seems to be no intention to invest the time and work to fix this. What a disappointment. What a way to take advantage of a loyal fanbase... Reminds me of the No Man's Sky fiasco. Except Hello Games actually worked hard to rectify that and made it an amazing come back story that deserves all its success. This only deserves the trash can. And the people responsible should be ashamed. I have never a written a review…

    Absolutely a scam. Got it to try no auto save, so you spend some time playing and lose everything if it crash and it does so often, Ask steam for refund cause it a buggy mess. but "we cant find any crash report" this thing crash every half an hour or feel like it. waste of money.

    Game is terrible in its current state, manual not in English and no idea how to download it, even if it was. The concept is great but wait to buy until the mods and create a team is available as England only has 3 leagues. And the only good thing it has so far is the graphics when in the managers office. No idea how anything works as it all doesn't seem to be connected. Maybe a dice mechanic is rolled to for win lose and draw as tactics and players don't seem to make a difference.

    Loading one screen from another takes a long time, the menus and features are confusing and not easy to understand, the match engine produces inconsistent and unrealistic results, and it crashes frequently.

    I was really looking forward to it. As a former big fan of the Anstoss 4 series, I didn't know what I was missing until I saw this announcement for a new game in the old charm on Steam. Now fresh in early access I am not disappointed. It doesn't miss anything of the old charm even if some points and functions are completely different. Of course there are still a few bugs, probably some functions that have not been implemented yet and the ingame-music takes some getting used to, but early access…

    I know it's early release but my goodness these people are taking the p*ss. Awful gameplay, awful mechanics, tried to give it a chance, nothing works as it should. Just genuinely terrible. Feels a lot like they're just robbing everyone with no intention of providing value for money.

    Abandoned Early Access Game, and the best thing they can do is start another Early Access Game. Total red flag. But hey at least we can buy the next one for 50% off (if we sent in proof that we own this unfinished pile of code).

    This Game is really bare bones,i waiting so long for a game with good 3D matches and environment. I like more casual games of this type,but i don´t know what this game is about. No change to know if my team is play well or not,3D presentation like this?In 2022?Not good at all. I will keep the game for 15 days,if until then no changes to the game are made or more feedback from the developers i will ask for a refund. I count the days to buy the game and then this disillusion! [And i know what…

    rating 6/10 this is an above average game but it's still lacking features to qualify as a manager game. i would love if this game expands modes. if the devs can improve the training system because we really don't have actual control over drills also this game is lacking on workshop tools and an editor to edit the game to fix the issues with realism especially for a real manager mode. it needs a lot of work and i'd not recommend till full release since this game is lacking modes and need to fix…

    The game is sorta fun although some of the mechanics need to be explained more. Also the fact that there is no autosave and one has to kind of search for the save function is a tad annoying.^ At present there are too many crash-bugs which, combined with the problems with saving are making it unplayable. Very very sad.

    GOAL! The Club Manager is a sports management simulator created and published by 2tainment and released on Steam. The game focuses on the strategic and organizational side of football by placing players in the role of a club manager responsible for guiding a team from modest beginnings to competitive success. Unlike arcade-style football titles that concentrate on on-field action, this experience emphasizes decision-making, long-term planning, and the complex balance between sporting ambition…
