Great game but have some issues I play this game as arsenal manager but still have some issues like some missing talent from youth academy like dragovic, nelson. Also what point of tactic in reserves? Hope to have youth manager to manage arsenal reserves and also has their own youth league like the real one. Last but not least, training has no effect on player especially on reserves compare to fmh2015. The effect of training only active if we play player several time on game. Hopefully can fix it.

Good game, well played EDIT: Finally all the issues I've seen have been fixed. It took some time but we finally have a stable version. Now I can actually review the game which is a significant update from the last version. I like the uefa co effs and work permit appeals. Game engine is 99% same as the previous version. But overall gameplay has improved. Performance is slightly better than the previous version

Screens went overly big This is the best version of the game to date, played since the start of handheld football manager, finally youve made the jobs realistic after a season in the conference after starting unemployed i got a job with ipswich, that us because i had an outstanding season. Finally this game realises your achivments and rewards you with teama further up the food chain.... about time though

All bugs gone!! Uped rating to 5 as all the bugs have been fixed . Great game, though much simplified over the PC version (that's not a bad thing for a mobile version) consider it FM lite. Must congratulate the developers for fixing issues so quickly.

One issue It's a great game and all, but I had one issue, there's something wrong with the managerial award, how is it that when I win all my games in the month (4) and Klopp wins 2, loses 1 and ties 1 then he gets the award? Please fix this cause I deserve to be winning it consistently (I'm undefeated for like 15 games now).

Hi - we believe everything you list should have been fixed by 8.0.2, can you let us know? Screens went overly big This is the best version of the game to date, played since the start of handheld football manager, finally youve made the jobs realistic after a season in the conference after starting unemployed i got a job with ipswich, that us because i had an outstanding season.

Thanks, good to hear it's working well for you now! One issue It's a great game and all, but I had one issue, there's something wrong with the managerial award, how is it that when I win all my games in the month (4) and Klopp wins 2, loses 1 and ties 1 then he gets the award?

SEGA January 6, 2017
Hi - we're looking into some odd awards at the moment for the next update. Great game (annoying glitches) I've spent ages improving my youth setup. And every season it says someone has been promoted, yet I can never see them in my 1st or 2nd team!
SEGA January 3, 2017
Sorry to hear. If you could please report to help@sega.co.uk our support team will take a look into the bugs for you. Thanks. I dont see much of a difference from previous editions Only been playing a couple of days. Constantly losing to 25 yard screamers from opposition. I wouldn't mind but playing as Doncaster and a Crawley player scores a van Basten it kinda puts you off 😀
SEGA January 6, 2017
Hi - sounds like a run of bad luck to me, but if you don't have a defensive midfielder you could try dropping one in if the opposition is finding space there. Got bored after 2 days same game as every year just new names apart from this year the sugar daddy add on purchase actually seems to make the game harder? Bought this game every year for a while now but will be my last year with the free to download games catching up to the quality of fm
SEGA January 10, 2017
Hi Paul. Thanks for the review. We've added several new features to the game this year which can all be seen at ftbl.ma/playFMM17. Is there a particular feature you'd like to see in the game? too many injuries seems every week another 2 month injury! would like to see a stadium in 3d image like the LMA manager series instead of just a stadium capacity figure! the youth system isnt great either the youngsters are hopeless unlike previous fm 2016. overall its ok but 16 was better for me so i cant get into this version for the reason listed. sega you need to improve the naff image when winning a trophy its just cheap you need to look at a ceremony or lifting a trophy but come on £7 for that not great really just very lazy
Disappointed I have played FM since 2013 season and by far this is the worst. There are no news on other clubs transfer activity or other leagues activities. The interface has just news regarding the club you are managing unlike in the previous FM seasons.
SEGA January 10, 2017
Thanks for the review, Hussein. You should still be able to see other clubs' transfer activity. If you can't please raise to help@sega.co.uk. Thanks. Great, but please expand commentary Would be great if there weren't so many arguments and bookings about offside after goals. Feels quite repetitive. Bit more variety on reasons for bookings and controversy would make it more exciting.
Overall good game but battery killer. If you think Pokémon go was bad for battery eating try this , recon my battery would last 2 hours tops playing it.
HUGE FM series fanboy/addict.My first foray into mobile fm. It's ok, bit overpriced imo It's basically like an older early noughties version. I wish there was more player info and interaction, learn new moves. The match engine is playable but still get occasional unrealistic shot from halfway line. Also even on very slow the matches go very fast. I don't regret my purchase but not as pleased as I hoped. Last update also deleted my saved games 😬
Great but It's a great game, but there is one massive problem, I don't know if it happens in other countries but I have managed a lot of UK clubs. When ever I try to bye a player that isn't from the eu the work permet always falls through. Is this meant to happen?
It's an improvement. Nice little touches but greedy as always I would've loved more. One point that annoys me is that I have just reset my device and I can no longer play last year's version. Same thing happened to the 2015 version also. Anyway I can get these back? I mean I did pay for them, seems a bit stink if you only get it for 12 - 15 months...still enjoy playing them from time to time as the squads are different and players in different stages of careers etc
SEGA January 10, 2017
Thanks for the review, Peter. You should still be able to play the previous versions that you've purchased. Worth sending an email to help@sega.co.uk and we'll take a look. Thanks. Its okay, prefer 16 Unable to give negative feedback to players..why??? Scout report redevelopment and new staff are a solid and smart addition tho as is ability to see youth ac youth season when promoted..however youth in reserves that can be offered contracts are garbage now. 2016 I had my full utd squad of 5star youths I'd developed from it.
SEGA December 5, 2016
Non-symmetrical formations are not unknown in the world of football today especially if a team has a particularly attacking player on one side of the pitch, as such this isn't a bug.
Players being expensive is also a fact of modern football I'm afraid. Reviewed opinion Thank you SEGA for listening to the players. Seems that most issues have been fixed properly and the game is now more streamlined and enjoyable. Some small issues adressed before just need a lite look. Great game!
SEGA November 24, 2016
Thanks for raising this. We're aware of the issue with penalties and have been working on a fix that will be sorted in the next update. Thanks. my first download and installed, got vertikal layer.. now after few upgraded.. become horizontal layer.. small pic and small font.. can i get my old version? hard to see when all become too small to see
Same game as last year with updated squads. I am only giving this review because the game was constantly reminding me to add one which is annoying. Decent game but not much different from last year. I realise that some of the functionality is restricted by being on mobile phones but it'll be nice if they could update the player interaction the press questions and the training so it can be more targeted. Otherwise it's ok but if you've put month into last year's game you might as well save your money and carry on with last year's version.
How to sell player? It so hard to sell a player. Reply for the reply: I put it on the list, but it is very rare to get an offer. I have a season without any offer for good players like mathieu, vermaelen, and arda turan.
SEGA January 6, 2017
You can also try to offer out the players, but do note that these are quite old players on high wages, which may impact the interest from other clubs who can't match what you already pay them. the best can't stop playing it even at work it's been the best mobile game I've been playing this game since 2007 so you do the counting while am playing my 5th season with mancity got to have it on your phone pc extra. go and download
Not different enough Players are still to expensive for the first few seasons. 5 million player under 30 and the club want 20+ million. I had 3 seasons with Bournemouth. I won league cup and euro cup finished 7th 6th and 4th but still got rejected for top 6 club job. Such as Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal.There arnt enough changers from the previous version of this game. I bought this at launch and am board now. I have loved this game for many years now but am saddend by this latest addition.
Manager of the month/year? Is this drawn out the hat? ive won the league twice consecutively, and not had the manager of the year award, let it go at first as ive played 4 seasons and won 1 manger of the month only, but when Leicester citys boss won the manager of the month for August for winning 1 from 3 and are 16th, i have 100% record, its getting really annoying, also the youth set up is poor. None of them have come close to getting in my team, not like in fm15/16
Error The game opens then just gets stuck on the Sega screen. Paid £7 for this and it doesn't work. Don't waste your money as well.
SEGA January 3, 2017
Sorry to hear this. Please raise at help@sega.co.uk and our support team will get this looked into for you. Thanks. Nice, but... 1. Manager of the year. I won the serie A, but the coach that won manager of the year is the 11th team coach. Even, the runner up is 5th team coach | 2. Club history is not fill such as most games without wins etc | conclusion : It's too expensive for such a mistake
Still great Played a couple seasons. I like all the new bits, more interaction etc. I do seem to be getting a hell of a lot of injuries, maybe that needs to calm down a bit. I would also like to see the stadium as it develops.
Loved it but rough start First few days were very laggy and i was worried that i have wasted my money, but the game had an update and all was good although there are some lags while changing pages fmm17 overall is a fun time for football fanatics.
Joke Freezing in game not a happy bunny lucky i saved my game before i have never had anything like this before i suggest you sort it out or i wont by buying next years one. The update has done the trick happy days
SEGA November 29, 2016
Hi - are you still seeing freezing please with the 8.0.1 update? If so can you describe a little more? Waste of money Spent £7 on this game and it won't let me save it says "error code:3" when I try to save
SEGA January 9, 2017
Hi Daniel. We're aware of this error code and are wanting to look into it. Please send the details to help@sega.co.uk. Thanks. As always, fantastic game. Only one thing that stops this years edition being a 5 star rating, I've now got two players stuck as "Pending Transfer" two years after they were supposed to finalize :( Is this a bug? Really frustrating in an otherwise superb game. Cheers! As per question below, players have both had their previous clubs contracts expire, one of them 2 years ago :)
SEGA December 8, 2016
Hi Nathan. Can we just check when the player's contract ends with you? Loan issues Great game.. Already spent ages playing, only issue for me is that every loan offer is 3 months.... Every one regardless of age and calibre of player
Liked it Great game as always .. why I keep encounters played rejected to move because failing medical ? Too often too much .. interaction need to be enhance.. and also the formation .. and for some its very difficult to sale player
Dropping to 3 Star The transfer system isn't good and need to be fixed. Ive been holding my player for two season to get more profit but the Bot will only pay less... Example : The price is 48Mil , They will bid <48Mil
Loose one more star for keeping asking me to review it Never won annual manager despite won all the titles. Inaccurate scout reports.
Addicted to FM..but not to FM2017 Always loved playing this game. Somehow i feel like this version has been hurriedly done without doing proper testing. Please sort out the positive/negative feedback thing. I would like to be able to give negative feedback, fine them or appeal their red carda as an when i choose to. Also, I believe there is some bug with the Manager Awards thing. There are a few other bugs but i don't have the energy. Hopefully a new patch arrives soon. Thanks.
Still needs to improve. I've been a fan of football manager since it was championship manager and to see it on a mobile platform is fantastic, this is the 4th year I've bought the mobile version and to be honest I'm quite disappointed with it as a whole! Same layout just different colours! And looks wise, it's still a bit basic. The new features are good but I hate to say it I don't think this game is worth the money. It's almost like I paid £6.99 for a bad update. Sorry guys.
Same game as years ago! Failing to see what makes this game worth £7. It is literally the same game they released for FMM 15 with updated squads. In fact I lie, the new addition to this year's game is that it pushes microtransactions at every turn. I wish I hadn't bothered and I advise that you don't too. The game engine is ridiculously shallow, and that's with me winning. Poor from Sega to release this as a 'new game' - It has 'New!' next to a few small features (hiring a physio? Wow!) As if they're proud and see it as notable.
SEGA January 6, 2017
Hi and thanks for the feedback. There are no new purchasable items this year, and the feature list can be seen in the header of our forum here: https://community.sigames.com/forum/28-football-manager-mobile-general-discussion/ Bruh Why you can't even criticize your own player? Eventhough he was playing bad and acting indiscipline? Help or i want a refund
It's a great game The only game I ever play and buy. It's far quicker than older versions (I last bought fm15) so coding for the mobile version must have improved. Only down side is it's abit too easy.
