    While it shows some interesting ideas and cute visuals that are somewhat reminiscent of the Sensible Soccer games, you don’t have enough tactical options at your disposal and in the end it seems like a tedious grind – even when you are successful.

    A football manager on a Nintendo system!? Maybe not for everyone but exactly for me!!!

    I don’t like today’s football managing games cause    A football manager on a Nintendo system!? Maybe not for everyone but exactly for me!!!

    I don’t like today’s football managing games cause of their complexity and this game is exactly the opposite. Unfortunately it is a little to puristic and there could be e few more financial options but for me it’s enough to fell in love with it.

    I’m already hoping, that this game series will be continued…    … Full Review »

    I think it is really great and it's a nice introduction to the football manager genre. Plus, I didn't want to play a game with too much depth. I wanted something which I could play every now and then without too much thought. It's nice to watch the games and to see the results change with your tactics.
    You can train your individual players with training cards and their skills will rise rpg-like. I actually think there is a big system with many variables at work behind the smooth interface. Like in real life you can't see the mechanics and definite numbers behind the "ecosystem" of the players and their team interaction. But you can change many things which affects your team in many different ways.
    Shortly: It's a really good game and a somehow different approach to a football manager.    … Full Review »

    Mais les graphismes sont splendides, l'effet 3D est tout simplement magnifique et les animations des joueurs sont bien gérées. Et puis c'est un jeu de gestion, ce qui est très rare sur la 3DS !
    Le jeu sort chez moi, en France, dans quelques heures et je voulais être le premier à écrire un avis, mais ma note ne changera pas de par le fait que le jeu ne me décevra pas, c'est sûr !
    Que vous aimiez le foot ou pas, achetez ce jeu, faisons en sortes que ce jeu possède une vraie communauté et qu'il y ait du monde avec qui jouer !
    Il ne coûte que 12 euros en France alors n'hésitez pas une seule seconde !
