Pocket GM 3: Football Manager - Worth Playing?

Pocket GM 3: Football Manager is a football management mobile game where you can play as football manager trying to create an ultimate football franchise. I was quite excited to see that I had the ability to sign, trade and draft players just like a real manager. With these options, surely I was looking forward to create a best team with very high possible overall ratings. Looking into the gameplay, you play as a manager for a standard set of players and rosters or you can just generate random players and rosters to spice the things up. I really loved this feature in the game as this could make the gameplay more challenging and new every time I start a new game. We can save the game progress in multiple save slots in this game. You can play the game in various difficulty and reputation levels which I think is fantastic as this allows you to try out your performance level at various modes with possibly different gameplay styles and strategy. I really appreciated how the game showed the players, teams and game standings stats in a very detailed way. You can weight out your players and team based on their defense, offense and overall stats. These stats are the fundamentals for creating an ultimate team in this game. While playing the game, you are shown the match events in a very exciting announcement way as the game change the tides depending on the performance level of the opposing teams. I really loved the detail of the gameplay events announcement which could give me an overview of how well my team or opposing team is performing in the field.

Easy to play, sometimes frustrating when you think you have what it takes to beat an opponent and you lose. 3D has made coming to the games a lot more worthwhile. Upgrading players is a little bit more money-based than I would like, but the youth academy and ways to earn tokens are quite creative and fun. I would like to see more variety in 3D gameplay, since it can get quite predictable after watching 5 matches. Counter attacks usually end the same way, every free kick being direct, rebounds being very rare, and yellow cards leading to corners feel a bit strange.
