Looks good enough, and the idea seems fine, but I couldn't see any ability to make alterations during the game (substitutions, formation changes etc.), the formations are completely rigid, so can't be altered, and despite having higher team ratings, completing my scouting missions and having a highly favourable formation against all my opponents, I lost (with no indication as to why). Appreciate the effort that went into the game, but it's not for me.

Game looks to have potential but why can't I change players around on the pitch or setup the team the way I want, all I can do is change the formation, I have a RB playing CLB for crying out loud even setting attacking and defensive tactics seems to be completely missing, you would think to add these small and simple features in the game before you released it for early access. Hell while I'm in a rant, I look to only have 11 players available, no subs or nothing!

Sorry if there is some confusion here on the layout of the squad. If you go to the SQUAD page, you'll see your subs there and you can move them in and out of your starting XI by pressing players and moving them up and down. Please try this and contact support through the app if you have more questions about the game.

Suffers from the same issues other games of this type do. It's all based on randomness. I'll have games where everything is better than the opposition. Stamina, morale... even all three of the commentators predict me winning. Then, the match starts, and none of that matters. I get obliterated. The graphics, storytelling, and management are top-notch. But the positives stop there.
