So far the major issue I associate with is the injury problem for almost every training session. But overall the game has some tremendous new and improved features. I'm buzzing here the game is crazy especially considering when I first played it in 2017. A big congrats to the team. Any real manager out there looking for a real challenge don't hesitate to even think about downloading the game. It is absolutely worth it.

Good user interface and nice improvement, but the players are so prompt to injury, and also the fatigue and morlae of the players should be worked on. Players get tired so easily, and lastly, the transfer value for players is way too high, and the bid auction feature is making players so highly valued.

I started playing First Team Manager since CDS18, and I’m happy to have started this journey. The 2026 edition brings a lot of new variables that make the game more realistic and engaging. From tactics and transfers to player development and match day decisions, every detail matters. It’s a challenging and rewarding game that truly tests your skills as a manager. Big kudos to the developers this is a must play for football fans!
