A high-level footballer earns a lot of money during his sports career, but not everyone invests it, much less in creating a company that is dedicated to launching a football manager. In this case, colors aside (I do not share them myself), we must applaud Piqué's initiative to create from nothing GoldenManager.
More easy
The benchmark in the sector for years and years has been and is Football Manager, while Top Eleven has also pushed hard. The Sports Interactive title has always been the favorite of critics and users for a few years now, but it is also true that the experience of its mobile version has never finished convincing. And Golden Manager believes it can fill that gap looking for simplicity and leaving aside the eternal options of the simulator distributed by SEGA.
The truth is that Golden Manager does well to simplify, but perhaps they have passed (or have not yet reached that point of development) and the feeling it gives is one of lack of options. For example, we cannot see the matches in real time and interact within them with changes in tactics or players depending on the development, just as we cannot improve the club's infrastructure (beyond the price of tickets) or even see competition scorers, something really basic.
A good start
Despite the important shortcomings, it must be said that the game has just started its way and has time to improve. As a start it is acceptable, the most important feature being of course the use of licenses to have the real names of the players, something that is not entirely common in mobile games and that is greatly appreciated since it is usually a significant financial effort.
The menus and the distribution of the game is correct, although it is true that the game in this aspect needs to be debugged since the crashes and disappearances of menu items are still present despite the updates that the game already carries behind it.
Golden Manager is free, but follow the usual purchasing system within the game through which we can move more easily and solve situations that without this type of help would be more complicated. There it goes in the mentality of each one if you want to checkout or prefer to bet on zero spending.
Our assessment
Thanks for the analysis!
It has been a tremendous surprise to have aroused your interest and found Golden Manager in a blog that several members of the Kerad Games team have followed for years.
I take this opportunity to share some information:
In a week the viewing of the game will be available live, with the possibility of interacting and making changes to the line-up and tactics during it.
Before the end of the quarter we will be able to enjoy statistics of our squad and that of the rival.
Before the end of the semester we will be able to intervene in the club's structure by managing real estate assets, new sources of income and other aspects of the economy.
And overall we will continue to work to improve the stability, user experience and depth of the game.
Regards,
Kerad Games Team
