New Star Manager 12+

To get any pleasure out of this game you will need to get rid of the ads as this sometimes crashes the game. You can play this without getting any additional funds, but it will be very difficult. I purchased 1m funds after disappointing first season in the conference league. I was wasn’t get very far as other reviews will point out how difficult it getting the balance right with players fitness, skill and happiness, whilst managing your funds. You’ll find that you always get a few players who play nearly every match, even score or assist and they will still be unhappy or you don’t have enough money to renew their contract.

I’m in 8th season now in the premier league. I’ve not had to purchase anymore addition funds. I didn’t go mad and buy all the best players and max out on staff facilities. I built it up in time spending at least 250k in my second season which was enough to win the league. I now actually earn that in two games in the premier league. I still don’t have the best team. It’s a good champions league team doing quite well in the premier league.

So I just hope this shows that it is worth getting extra funds as it does increase your enjoyment of the game. You can get an extra shot in a game by watching an advert. I tend not to bother as it risks crashing the game, but fortunately everything is saved up until this does happen.

I like this game but......it is hard to get the balance right between choosing energy drinks or skill cards, which reduce energy, scout cards, physio cards and youth ones. Energy suffers tremendously if you choose any of the other cards, making it hard to put out a fit team. Players morale suffers as do team results. I feel that the game would be vastly improved if you had two options to choose from. The balance would be better. I happily paid for the ads to be removed as I felt the game was worth it. However, as time has gone on I am finding I might have to pay for more energy every couple of games. This is something I won’t bother doing as it would make the game prohibitively expensive. You would have to end up paying vast sums for a game that is good...but....not as good as FM2018 on a computer which retails between £15 and £30 and is far superior. I love New Star soccer and pay for boots, agents and trainers every 100 or 150 games but never have to pay for energy. Develop this game so as you keep loyal players like me happy and you might have a winner. Better to have many low, regular payers than a few who may or may not pay lots because they have nothing better to do with their money.

I am really enjoying this game and as far as I’m concerned many others are too. The graphics have been improved a lot since the last one (New Star Soccer) and I really like that addition. However, I believe an instant reply when you score would be highly beneficial because seeing a goal twice can be rewarding knowing you may have scored a good goal, and it can also improve your game in real life, whether it’s a mobile game or a goal you have seen on TV. Furthermore, I believe taking ads out is better then having them in as this could disrupt your gameplay. Also I really like the addition of the team-talk and the player attribute cards -dribbling cards etc. What I also like is the fact that you can build a fitness centre etc. and that just makes the game a whole lot more realistic for those young people who want to be football managers so they will have to know that you will need a fitness centre and to know that at such a tender age can be beneficial. Despite what I have said about what would make the game better, there are also a lot of things which are very good about the game. I hope you have found my feedback constructive and agree with what I have said. This game is really good and (in a good way) addictive. Credit given to everyone who has helped out making this game, it is brilliant, it is simply one of the best football games out there.
