60 of 150 · most liked firstThe fact that you can't see ALL of your team on pitch is pretty detrimental. You only see the person with the ball during the match. Are my defence keeping their shape? Are my strikers struggling to find space? Is my midfield overrun? No idea.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been playing football management games all the way back to the original Football Manager, through the Championship Manager era and right back to the current iteration of FM. Throughout this period I have fond memories of games such as Ultimate Soccer Manager, LMA Manager and FIFA Manager, and to me these were always good stable mates to the more tactical approach of the FM series. Recently, I’ve burnt out on the FM series, I’ve hardly played it this year to be honest so I was really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Are we Football? Let's face it: Outside of Burgerland (and even they catch up slowly), everybody loves Football. It's a real sport, so we are Football, because pretty much everybody at one time or another played it. But is this Football? I write this review in english because most so far most are german and don't help people who don't speak the language and since we're on Steam: I'm trying to help out but the first segment will sound like ancient hyroglyphs to most non-german people.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To play this game the way it is meant, you have to be able to read fast. Faster then i can at least. There are many timed questions with 4 possible answers. When im finished reading the question, the time is up. Football Manager games should be relaxing, tactical. Not a test how fast you can read a foreign language. Please make the timers optional!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has the right idea, but is in dire need of patching. There are some baffeling design choices that are unexpected from such an experienced team, and there are some additional annoyances that are easy to fix. 1. Let me start with this: The game is easy. Very easy. Sadly, it is easy for the wrong reasons. Having a more accessable and therefore easier management game is not bad, but maybe the only way to challenge the more complex managers out there. But there is a basic truth to these…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impressions? Not that good but has potential. The UI is bloated and confusing, the upside is that you can delegate most of the tasks so you can just do that if you feel overwhelmed and get into it in a later date. The UI in itself feels generic and boring, did mention bloated already so you're quite busy looking for thing...you do get used to it at some point, I'm in my third season right now. A lot of quality of life improvements are due, more often than ever I found myself using the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I have enjoyed this game, and will probably continue to play it for a while, I wouldn't recommend it in its current state. There are several issues with it, and I will go into some detail about issues I have found. Keep in mind that I have played about 10 seasons in different leagues and in different nations (with different players, of course). First of all, matches certainly seem to be stacked against the human player (not surprsingly). Regardless of the skill of your penalty takers,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most bugs have been fixed in the last 4 big updates. Patch 5 with a focus on the transfer market is coming soon. Game is a lot of fun. Note, this is NOT a Sega Football Manager "Clone". You act on a higher level in WaF. You are more in the shoes of the clubs manager, instead of the actual player managing trainer. WaF focuses on multi season development instead of micro management for each game,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Train a player in a new position? Nope Call up a player from my reserves if I get an injury before a game? Nope Get an explanation on what each weekly focus does? Nope See your team on the pitch? Nope Hire new staff or get rid of current ones? Nope Remove release clauses from player contracts? Nope AI will bid on your transfer listed players? Nope Negotiations limited by a few negotiation points and thus you cannot do much? Yep Completely unrealistic transfer marker? Yep This actually hot…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked EA's Football Manager, or the Anstoss series, you will enjoy this game. It is simpler than Sega's Football Manager and that is what i prefer. I do not wan't and need a full grown simulation, i rather prefer a faster pace and a little less complexity. If certain things get fixed and patched it is a pretty solid game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All you see during matches are some 'pictures' of players 'shoveling' over the terrain :( No really actions, amusement 1/10 :( For that price they should have done a lot more ! Hope they will change that soon or it's a no go.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm leaving a positive review because I would like to encourage the development of this game and others like this one. I have been a hardcore Football Manager gamer since it was called Championship Manager, and before that I used to play games like PC Fútbol (PC Calcio, PC Premier...) and Ultimate Soccer manager, so, been playing this genre since around 1995. I haven't bought any new Football Manager games since FM2015 because I don't think the upgrade is worth it. It's essentially the same…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the following bugs me: * transfers: boring, nothing happens, no offers, my players are stuck on the transfer list forever * employees, can't sack, why? no employee training * game: a red card for the opponent is jump starting them, are almost always scoring immediately and winning the game, terrible mechanic * youth: are always signed immediately, why no option for next season?! if that gets fixed, my rating goes to positive, but with those massive downsides i'm disappointed for having spent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The old feelings are back if you have played the Anstoss series many years ago. It plays more fluid and way faster than Sega FM but of course it isn't as complex. Still a very fun game for the shorter evenings and for the game itself it is only the beginning. The development will for sure continue. Don't forget to grab a community patch like from FM Zocker...a must have!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game. It has its issues - some bugs to be fixed and features that are missing - but I really enjoyed this direct competitor to Football Manager and found several aspects that I would love for Football Manager to take note of and possibly add their own twist to. This review is really more of a WAF vs. FM22, so I'll structure my biggest points as to which things I preferred from each game. Things I Feel WAF Does Better: - Negotiations in general are more fun and hands on. FM22…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game made by German football manager developer veterans with tons of leagues and teams which keeps on getting better and better! A lot of the issues players had in the beginning have been addressed and fixed through regular updates or will be addressed in future updates, It does not have official licensing but that is actually a positive in my opinion as it gives a more immersive feeling of an alternate football universe where you can lead your low-level team to international glory. Not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it brings me back to the nostalgia of the mid-00's. It could be fun to watch your club rise through the ranks and enjoy a lighter, though still immersive, experience compared to FM. However, the clunky interface is very frustrating and needs a lot more work and polish to the overall game, navigation, and tutorial to be considered worthwhile.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Developers still working on the game. While I agree it should have been labeled Early Access, I don't understand the useless downgrading. They have released three updates since the release to work on the bugs and balance of the game. Instead of bashing such Publishers and Developers you should provide constructive feedback to get the game you want. Either in the steam forums or for the German community the so called "Anstoß Jünger Forum". Not as addicting as Anno 1800 or EA Footballmanager…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this hoping it could be a replacement for FM...but sadly it isnt even close to CM 01/02, and its 20 years old. Player profiles have no attributes or numbers etc, they contain pictures telling you strengths and weaknesses, how can you compare players in certain areas? Also figues for salary etc are way off. Its quirky and niche, and potential could be there but in terms of a real life simulation its not even close
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry but I've given this about 10 hours now. This is just a bad game. We are Football is this combination of things that are too easy and things that are too complicated. Not "difficult" complicated but just made unnecessarily complicated by the interface and the utter lack of information that's given you. So first it's easy to get players via transfer that are far better than anyone on your squad. The game itself isn't hard to win at, which I can live with. Sometimes I don't want to play a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have put a ton of hours into this game. It's not easy to deduce a lot of things and the help available is okay at times, but for others, non-existent. Like, you can build youth camps all over the world. Once I realized this, I started having tons of talented youth coming up my ranks. Is it documented anywhere? No. It would also help to have numerical scales for things such as morale, etc. Still, I must enjoy it if I'm still playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, what can i say ... Usually i spend approximately 50 - 100h per "session" on a game, before i put it away for the next one. With some exceptions, this is how i cycle through my game-list year after year ... ^^ This time however, i directly spent 250h right after i bought and installed it! In one rush ... I haven't played football manager games for ages, so i'm no expert for sure. However, this one does a lot of things right in my opinion. There is a lot to sink your teeth into, but it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the idea and the concept is top notch, but the game itself feels cheap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First really enjoyable Football manager game I've played since "The Manager" from 1991. It's well done, tons of features, but you still can choose to use assistants where you don't want to handle too much micro management. Sure, it would be nice if they had real teams and player names, but a very advanced editor is included so you can change lots of stuff, such as adding your own teams and players. I also haven't experienced any bugs or crashes yet.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really tried my best to like the game but I find the entire experience lacking. For sure WAF tries to be different in a lot of things and I do find the interface refreshing and modern in comparison to FM. However, while it's always nice to look at the 3D views of the museums, stadiums, training ground etc, the core product of this game is severely disappointing. This is first and foremost a football manager simulation game so it is only normal for players to pay attention to the match day…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OMG,DOUBLE HEADER IN WOMEN FOOTBALL XD
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sorry but i tried again this game after an year and half for viewing if the updates changes something but this game is totally no sense for me. I'm playing several casual football managers in the past, but this one is lacking of everything important: - Tactics: inexistent. You just setup the initial formation before a match, make a couple of substitions during it, but everything in the tactics doesn't change a da*n thing. - Sponsors: even if you doing good, they says in a meeting they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Football manager it isn't, it has regular updates improving the game, but this wont be a competitor to FM for some time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no option tab in the menu, you cannot change basic things like set the desired resolution or the sound levels or do any kind of customization , it feels like a mobile game . 30% of the screen is not visible and is not even possible to see the proceed button therefore the game is unplayed in certain resolutions. It's such a disappointment, save your money...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wasted a good part of my youth on Mr Köhler's games. I'm ready to do the very same thing with my adulthood.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With the existing patch of FM Zocker (there on Day 1!), it is such a nice experience. I like the remote play option and it feels like back in the A3 days, but with a nice UI. Started with my buddy already a season and I guess we will spend lots of hours in this game! :) Edit after some more hours: Yes, there is stuff that could be tweaked (e.g. market value, transfer behaviour, tweaks in the game display), but still. It is pulling me in for "just one more game day!" :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, I would like to start off by saying that I never write reviews for anything, but this game has made me want to. We are Football is a great game if you understand what this game is. I feel like a lot of people want to compare this game to Football Manager and that's the wrong idea. This game does not focus so much on the tactical aspect of every match like Football Manager. WAF focuses more on the overall development of a club (ie. designing the stadium, deciding ticket prices,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is heavily scripted. Some might find it bad, some might not care at all. In english version there are things, tactical choices that seem weired and give you absolutely no hint of what they are or what you do. Counter-pressing: day and night. What does that even mean? You have an option to chose how agressive your team performs. Tired of yellow cards I told my team "We´re fair sportspeople. I don´t want to see a yellow card". Next game guess what? 4 yellows and one red. Scripted cheating…

Where to start is the million dollar question !!! The Editor is so complicated that it doesnt work . Wont save new teams , wont save new players , wont save new cities or grounds . As for Longitudes and Latitudes of cities and teams there then is Minutes and seconds ? What does that mean ? There is no tutorial for the editor either . Its slow as well and i…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →used to love this game, however since recent updates it just crashes everytime ive played, ive tried contacting the developers but they say not there problem and since i played alot when first came out i get no help off steam, so was a waste of money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is good. Much is not apparent and is not explained. That there are no licenses I probably do not need to mention (but there is workshop content and a editor). And who put this music into the game ? First I thought I was playing Warhammer with epic battle music, then I was suddenly secret agent ethan hunt thanks to mission imposible music xD. So immediately make the music off... I don't even want to talk about the injuries.. I don't know what that's about. Every week an injured and if…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, way better then FM. They get my praise for adding female footballers off the bat when a certain person at SI (Miles) thinks its not worth the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very good alternative to football manager. Just dont expect another football manager because its quite different. Reminds me of football ltd from the 90ies. Limited tutorial and you need to figure it out, but when it comes it hits the spot. Nice work and I hope it will become a yearly product. Fan based real players to import.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the football game I've been waiting for. I've played a lot of FM, but it is a manager/coach game where as this is an owner/manager game. With WAF I can make the decisions about whether to expand the stadium or improve training, if we don't have enough fans to justify expansion then I can choose how to spend resources to boost engagement. I also am really enjoying the skill tree for players, it is more fun and rewarding to craft a player in this way than how training works in FM. For a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is akin to the defunct FIFA Manager series (last of which was 2013). Compared to FM it is less of a manager (head coach) game and more of a club owner game. The developers of this game really do listen to feedback and make changes and improvements to the game. The game today had many QoL features and a few new fan requested additions than it had at release.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am having fun playing it. It has some flaws and can sometimes feel to easy or to diffcult, but overall it is a good football manager. Some funny easter eggs like in the Anstoss-Games. Decisions feel impactful and when you make mistakes, you will feel them. The game doesn't punish too hard as well, what makes it easier to get into the game. Probably best for players who are new to football managers or advanced managers. Maybe not the best game for football-manager-experts, even tho it has some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Getting better and better with every Patch. Some minor changes are still needed. Afterall by now i played like 94 hours, i can recommend this simulation after playing Football Manager 12 and below like a freak. Finally a good simulation with new graphics and stuff, the SEGA Manager didnt catched me at all btw.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →my manager has burnout since day 1 smells like refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked the Anstoss series, this game is for you! It's a well made mix between Anstoss, the EA FM and Sega FM. In this game you'll progress through a season a lot quicker than in the Sega FM and your main focus is the long term development of the club, instead of spending hours per matchday. Some negative reviews state that the match engine is bad, because you can't see the whole pitch but only the active player. While that is factually true, it's not a bad thing at all because it takes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can highly recommend We Are Football. It's just fun to turn a small club into a big international top club and to have all the powers in your hands, from the first team to the second team and youth team to the expansion of the stadium and club grounds to disputes with club members and much more. The overall focus here is more on the long-term development of a club, mostly through good management, appropriate transfers, youth work, etc. It is not necessary to deal intensively with tactics and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't worry about there not being original player/club names etc. There is already a userfile available that includes all original club/player names, pictures, badges, sponsor logos etc. Other than that so far I already like that it plays much quicker than Sega's FM and that you can be a bit more involved in the clubs finances. It also doesn't feel quite like an excel spreadsheet like Sega's FM. Although the UI could still use some work. There is no 3D match engine so don't go in expecting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game often shuts down because it is not optimized yet. In the end, I didn't even watch a game and returned it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you liked games like Anstoss, Football Manager Professional or the like, this one is for you. Is it perfect? No. As every football manager, it has some issues with KI, balancing and the like. But it has evolved greatly since it's release, the developer is continuing to pump thought and energy into it and is constantly improving the game. In short, it is the best current game of it's kind, imho the best since Anstoss 3.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the game very much, it has the feeling of an old one and the casual approach makes it very addictive for those who don't have much time to sink in a new release because of work or other pririorities. A must have for all football fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having played Football Manger all the way back to Championship Manager its fair to say I've spend a fair few hours in this arena! Well..."We Are Football" is an enjoyable game. Its very simplistic IMHO compared to Football Manager, but having said that it is fun! Changing tactics do have an impact, maybe a little too obviously, but it does make it enjoyable. There are many features missing compared to FM, but the game, probably as a consequence runs much quicker. Uploading the fans created…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For me personally, the best and most beginner-friendly football manager. At the present time, 13.07.2021, it still has many problems, but the developers are constantly working on them. I think it can become the best casual football manager in the future.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its fun but somehow its 80% non logical football 1. My Players get worse at shooting at the Goal the closer they get 2. 80% of the attack opportunitys are corner kicks which let the ball land into a new corner kick thats not counted 3. who would dropkick a ball?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very enjoyable game not to be compared to Football Manager. As a game in its own rights it is great, yes its rough around the edges for example the gimmicky things are not needed like sabotage of a match, building things like directors house in facilities and such these things are not needed and make the game almost childish. The game would really benefit from a 3d match engine although saying that the stadium view and facilities need a graphical overhaul, stadiums at the moment just look all…
