The game is great, being a new game to Steam and all. There is plenty of room for improvement, but it is still far and away the best AFL management sim on the market imo. With time, the game will only get better, hopefully with continuous game improvements from the devs. Definitely a game for AFL fans and for people looking to sink a few hours over the offseason.

The game has potential, but in its current state, I just can't recommend it. The menu and buttons are messy and don't work half the time. The gameplay is basic as hell. Stats are VERY unrealistic in my opinion (Ruckman ALWAYS have the most disposals in each game). And for the price of almost $20, I just can't see it being worth it. I'll have another look in the future, but right now, I'm requesting a refund.
If this game was free it may be worth a go but it's very poorly made and even die hard AFL fans will struggle to find enjoyment here.
Has lots of potential to be a really good AFL sim. But small things hinder it. Really need to figure out how to stop the ruckman averaging 40+ disposals a game and kicking 5 goals. Also increase the simulation speed between the days, to much stagnate time waiting for the day to pass. Other then those two things really enjoyable. But would highly recommend sorting those two issues out asap.
The game is so sluggish its unplayable. Arefund would be great. Cheers.
Best Australian football management game i've ever played. Play your style of football, plenty of strategy options. What positions do you put your players in to get the best out of them? How shouold you train them? What players to resign, who to trade, who to draft? This game makes you think, it is quite addictive. Plenty of room to grow and a very responsive developer. I enjoyed it. theonlinegm.com
