Soccer Manager 2023 Game lets you create your own soccer club and focus on the management aspect. At the start you get to choose your teams jerseys, name, and location of the stadium. The game lets you customize the stadium in a few different ways. You can change the pattern on the grass and also construct building upgrades around the stadium to make it more fun for your teams' fans. Once you get into a match you will be facing off against other real life players clubs. The game also features a live pvp mode where you can compete against another person in real time. The gameplay consists of you watching a bunch of circles on a soccer field simulated and actual soccer match. You can speed up the gameplay or just instantly simulated the match to see the outcome.
I really wish they added some cut scenes that would switch to a 3d environment with 3d character models for the big plays. Like when a goal is scored or something important happens. The matches themselves feel boring and not engaging as they could be. Most of the time you will just click instant simulation because watching circles bounce around gets boring fast. Monetization wise the game has several different ways for you to spend real money. The cash shop isn't overly aggressive, but it does get a clear-cut edge to someone who spends verse someone who doesn't. The community is great though and playing against another person's team really makes the game fun and exciting in that aspect. Sometimes you will play the match at their stadium and you can see how they chose to create it. While other times you will play home and see your own stadium in action.
Overall, it's a pretty nice game with good management features. Any fan of soccer will enjoy it for sure. I just wish there was a little more live action for the matches.
