User Reviews for New Star Manager

Great amount of depth, simple, and addictive

I'm not one to leave reviews for apps but I have been playing this game nonstop for weeks if not months at this point! This is an incredibly well-thought game, comparable to the likes of Football Manager or career mode in FIFA. The gameplay is simple yet engaging, I never feel like it's a drag to play through the games. Since it's a mobile game, the pick-up-and-play aspect is really convenient which is why I think I've been so immersed in this app. The only complaint I have is the aggressive marketing of in-app purchase. However, I've had this app since July and I've never bought in-game currency and I'm doing just fine. I will admit I've watched a lot of ads because of this app. Ads are everywhere, after a game you can expect to see an ad. However, I rarely play more than one game at a time, so realistically it's not too annoying. By watching an ad you can increase your players' energy. Usually I hate this in mobile games, but I watch a bunch of ads anyway because I wanna support the creators. I just play them in the background while I listen to music. So again, great app and an amazing upgrade to the original New Star Soccer!

Having a bit of an issue

New Star Manager is one of the best sports manager games out there. Every aspect of the app is good. The you you buy a player or staff member is good. The way you upgrade a player of staff member is good. The way you upgrade a building is not the best because it gets very expensive very quickly, but other than that I like it. The only thing I will criticize is the way you play the actual games. I don’t like how you only play short clips of the game, rather than the whole thing. And I guess I get how it’s supposed to be more of a managing game than a player game, but it’s just something to think about.My main issue is that starting yesterday, when I open the app within a few seconds a white screen comes up, and it doesn’t go away. I’m not sure if it has to do with the update that happened yesterday, or something else. Either way I can’t play the game, and it’s driving me crazy. This game is definitely my favorite game at the moment, and now I can’t play it at all. Please do something about this as soon as possible. For now I am downloading another manager game to play, so that should give you some encouragement to fix it.

IS THIS REAL?

How?! You guys went from an amazingly fun game with New Star Soccer, to an even more fun, slightly different 3D version(which is perfect, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. And if it’s just a little worn out then a little upgrade never hurt did it?!)!! And the best part is that this game you can play for hours on end and never once have to worry about paying or having to get off to get energy back or something!! This company truly is a modern marvel, and should be considered the ideal model for other companies to follow. What I love is that they seriously brought every issue that they had to the table with NSS and clearly, they said “what can we do right now to either fix this, or to make it more fun?” And they absolutely nailed it! Easily the best game I’ve ever played. So far no bugs, no glitches, just another excellent game created by this company. Can’t wait for more from them! Thank you so much!

Solid and excited to see the future

This game is truly remarkable when it comes to its ability to combine fun and challenging gameplay with an in depth simulation of managing a football club. This alone makes this game an amazing experience for me the only things that could Improve this game are.1. Having the ability to manage a national team.2. More customization of club kits and crest etc.3. Manager transfers or the ability to manage another team.Also an extra thing that could be interesting would be the the ability to select a location or city that your team plays in and have certain rival teams which can correspond (teams from the same city or area or maybe a team who tend to beat you ) these rival teams would serve as extra objectives and could be used to make playing in the lower leagues in the beginning of the game more interesting as playing a rival team could mean could mean losing or gaining a large amount of trust from the fans or board. This same affect could be used if I player was bought from or sold to a rival club.

I have always been a fan of new star but...

I love literally everything about this game, however three things should be improved. One of them is the free kicks, they are either great scoring opportunities or pointless play resets. What I mean by that is that you can either directly shoot it or you are forced to pass it to someone next to you, there are no real set piece plays in the game. And I think this is due to the next problem. Why can’t you lob the ball? Pls pls add that with the passes just lets select the player and give us an option to hit the ball in a certain way or just two passing options. At least when the player is in a certain position, give the high cross option pls. Finally, the tutorial is kind of sloppy and I don’t feel like it fully introduces the functions of the games. What I mean by that is that there is a lot of managerial goals set by your bosses that I don’t really know how to achieve because the tutorial doesn’t really cover those aspects. For everything else, this game is pure gold.

Needs some tweaks

This game has such a solid foundation but there are some things that can make it very frustrating. First of all the sort of downward spiral you can get stuck in is nearly comical. Let's say you lose 2 or 3 games in a row, now your players are concerned about team form which makes them unhappy, which causes them to make mistakes which makes you lose more, causing then to get more upset. You end up getting stuck as they keep making mistakes and it becomes very difficult to string a couple wins together, as only 1 win has a minimal effect. Maybe to combat this there could be some type of boost to happiness for breaking a losing streak? As the players would be happy for finally getting a win. Another thing that ties into this is player happiness. Maybe some players should be less effected and some be more (and not just from traits)Again tying with the happiness, I'd like to see a system where you can designate a players role. There's only 11 positions, not everyone can be a starter. But if you could search/sign people who are ok with being rotational players or subs it would also help with the happiness problem.

Should be 5 stars but..

The energy and team improvement systems are lacking badly. This game has a ton of potential however. Players should generate energy in between games. One game should not completely make a player useless and extremely vulnerable to injury. The ability to acquire better players is also lacking. There should be a way to get packs without paying real money. Possibly another form of ingame currency that can be earned by winning matches or completing task, or leveling up your manager. The fact that there is no other way to get a pack is very unfortunate. Players should also progress or regress naturally whether that is at a halfway point in the season or after each year goes by. I want to grind to improve but I feel as if the developers of this game are heavily focused on forcing players to purchase packs. I hope there comes better ways to improve. Really want to continue to enjoy this game seeing that It has a ton of potential.

Decent game overall

I like the concept of the game with the managing and all but there are some things that could be improved. For example, you start out in the bottom league. My team finished first but my players ratings were well below some other teams ratings so I lost a good amount of games. I was fine with that cause I thought I’d move up one league and still be able to compete. Nope. I moved up 4 leagues and now my team is nowhere near the level of other teams. I didn’t realize that this was gonna happen so now my team gets hammered every game and I have serious player issues. I think each league you win you move up one league not a ridiculous amount. There was no warning or anything about this so it’s kind of screwed up my entire progress. There are also game control problems. For instance, you can’t lob the ball for a cross or play it over defenders. Also, when you give a pass, you can’t determine power. So lots of times I’ll give a through ball that goes all the way to the keeper even though I put it a little ahead of a player. I know I wrote a lot of things but this game is fun and addicting but could be a lot better.

Has potential

This would be a great game but there needs to be a few things worked out first. Firstly, when you’re chasing the ball you have to use your finger on the player you want to use but this often means covering up the portion of the screen that you want to move in to essentially making you blind to whatever is happening in that portion of the field. Secondly, sometimes this game feels very scripted, like it knows you have an objective to accomplish so the difficultly gets turned way up to make it near impossible. Third, the energy levels on players need to be reworked so that players regain at least some energy between games. Without this you’re constantly needing to focus on energy cans and, because of that, you can barely focus on player development. If they can fix these problems this could be a great game.

Really fun but needs work

TL;DR: Good gameplay, players never have energy so you can’t train them, also you never make money and can’t buy thingsI love the gameplay, the way to pass and dribble and shoot is great. However, it’s so easy to win games. In my first full season I am currently 19-1-0, I should not be that good yet if ever. Plus, there are many out of match things that are lacking. Players should gain energy between games and at halftime. If you don’t rest team at least every other game you will have no one that can play. This also makes it impossible to train the players which always makes them upset they aren’t training. This also means my team is never getting better which is a problem. There just needs to be more energy automatically given. Plus, it is soooo hard to make money and I never buy anything because I’m always broke and stuff is expensive. It takes me a whole season to upgrade 1-2 facilities to level 2, buy maybe a player and that’s it. I love the gameplay and overall feel but a lot of managing aspects need rebalancing.
