Global Soccer: A Management Game 2017 Reviews

Too simple to be worthwhile.

This game is unplayable

Good manager, simple gameplay and great support from developer! I recommend this game :)

I cant honestly recommend this the game is cheap enough i got it for under $2 and may be worth it to some but the new player help menu with its very small hard to read text is to hard for me to read even though i purchased this understanding it was a data based game if reading the text in the help screens annoying for me sadly i dont have time for the game or the patience to just try fumble my way into it learning good luck for anyone wanting to have a go it may be a good game if you get past the reading the help section and also it drove my screen nuts constantly telling me the resolution needed adjusting every time i went in and out of screen to look stuff up best it can do is 1080p which is ok but the constant messages were annoying to me

This is an amazing game, especially when comparing it to its predecessor GSM (2016). The most important improvement for me is the reduced waiting time when the game is processing all the results. Moreover, it shows what percentage it already processed which gives a good indication how long to wait (which is not too long). The other feature that i loved are the player pictures/images. Moreover, the games and scores seem realistic, and the transfer system balanced. It is great to know what a player expects prior to buying him because in the previous GSM one would sometimes need to spend unnecessary amount of 'turns' to figure it out. If you want to have the CM feeling you should buy this game. However, that doesnt mean it is CM or should become it. Maybe in the future it would be nice to be able to add the feature of defensive, neutral, and attacking mentality. However, it should never become FM in the sense of its complicated unrealistic 'realism'. People should remember that gaming should be fun and not a part-time job. This game realizes that and within five years - if the developer wants it - it can overcome FM.

Simple, yet a very enjoyable game! And the best of all is that the dev actually cares about people's thoughts and work in order to improve it!

Well that was a waste of money. bought it, installed it, opened the game then closed it and uninstalled it. I wish I didn't spent that long on it. I could have put up with rest of the rubbish if at least it was proper licensed names. Why would the developer think people will pay money for this? they were not willing to pay money for licencing. It's a sandwich without any filling for the same money other fully licensed games. Frelling Dren!

Championship Manager wanabee, but still far off the target - available options are very limited, interface is a bit of a mess, some of the functions not really though through (like planning training sessions for each day without any schedule options available), match engine does not give any statistics nor inclination who performed well or not

Great game, although the names of the players are not correct but you can guess who are they. Although is missing from transfer list to send scouts to find you some players, you have them enough on the transfer list. Shortlist has sometimes bug that sometimes is filled with player you only looked once but in shortlist you have it on 20 or more places but. So you need to remove him from shortlist so you can add new players. This is a minor problem. Save your games often because it sometimes crashes! This is a bigger downside. When you start with some club, and later you switch to a new club on the other continent, you will have to play with some club which is not famous and start from bottom, but with time and your success your fame will grow and more famous clubs on that continent will appear on the list for potential jobs. Also you will be able to hire better players as the time passes.

This game reminds me a lot of the old Championship Manager series but with a large world-wide database of teams and players. The game is reduced to the most important features. But I see this as an advantage because you can play seasons quickly. It definitely requires some time to spend with the game to notice that the game has really depth. I can recommend it to all players who had fun with the old Championship Manager series that don't want too much detail complexity but have a faster season progress instead.
