"It's certainly casual compared to the Football Manager games, but thanks to its adorable presentation and its ability to make you truly care about the fortunes of your little soccer players and team, this is the equivalent of a pulp fiction page turner; it's not necessarily fulfilling, but it's truly entertaining and impossible to put down." ...

I think it is really great and it's a nice introduction to the football manager genre. Plus, I didn't want to play a game with too much depth. I wanted something which I could play every now and then without too much thought. It's nice to watch the games and to see the results change with your tactics.
You can train your individual players with training cards and their skills will rise rpg-like. I actually think there is a big system with many variables at work behind the smooth interface. Like in real life you can't see the mechanics and definite numbers behind the "ecosystem" of the players and their team interaction. But you can change many things which affects your team in many different ways.
Shortly: It's a really good game and a somehow different approach to a football manager.… Expand

It's not too simple that it'sNintendo Pocket Football Club is fantastically colourful, fun and simple; working perfectly for Nintendo's 3DS. It's not too simple that it's easy, though, because different choices mean different results, and every team has different traits. It's not only good off the pitch, though, as on the pitch, aside from looking fantastic (especially with 3D on), the complexity of the game is great, and every game is as exciting as the one before it. I love this game to bits, and it's hugely addictive.

Mais les graphismes sont splendides, l'effet 3D est tout simplement magnifique et les animations des joueurs sont bien gérées. Et puis c'est un jeu de gestion, ce qui est très rare sur la 3DS !
Le jeu sort chez moi, en France, dans quelques heures et je voulais être le premier à écrire un avis, mais ma note ne changera pas de par le fait que le jeu ne me décevra pas, c'est sûr !
Que vous aimiez le foot ou pas, achetez ce jeu, faisons en sortes que ce jeu possède une vraie communauté et qu'il y ait du monde avec qui jouer !
Il ne coûte que 12 euros en France alors n'hésitez pas une seule seconde !

A pretty fun light soccer management/training sim game with strong manager-simulation elements (pretty tough to classify really!) andA pretty fun light soccer management/training sim game with strong manager-simulation elements (pretty tough to classify really!) and substantial 90s nostalgic vibe. Can get quite time consuming at times, especially later on while playing in higher leagues, but the actual matches play quite well, and it is really nice to see the players apply the tricks and skills learned through training between matches. Broken multiplayer (especially national for low-populated countries) and paid DLCs (aka training boosts/cheats) do set this game back, however - I could really live without these features. There is also not much actual game in this also, which is a drawback for me, an arcade lover. This is a curio recommended mostly for football fans.… Expand

A football manager on a Nintendo system!? Maybe not for everyone but exactly for me!!!

I don’t like today’s football managing games cause of their complexity and this game is exactly the opposite. Unfortunately it is a little to puristic and there could be e few more financial options but for me it’s enough to fell in love with it.

I’m already hoping, that this game series will be continued…… Expand
