I have put a ton of hours into this game. It's not easy to deduce a lot of things and the help available is okay at times, but for others, non-existent. Like, you can build youth camps all over the world. Once I realized this, I started having tons of talented youth coming up my ranks. Is it documented anywhere? No. It would also help to have numerical scales for things such as morale, etc. Still, I must enjoy it if I'm still playing it.

I really like this game. It has its issues - some bugs to be fixed and features that are missing - but I really enjoyed this direct competitor to Football Manager and found several aspects that I would love for Football Manager to take note of and possibly add their own twist to. This review is really more of a WAF vs. FM22, so I'll structure my biggest points as to which things I preferred from each game. Things I Feel WAF Does Better: - Negotiations in general are more fun and hands on. FM22 is certainly more granular when it comes to all the possible options for contracts and transfer offers, but at the cost of being a bit too opaque for all the but the most hardcore negotiators. Negotiations in WAF feel more like a minigame. - I really enjoy the passage of time in WAF, and how you need to balance your time and thus pick and choose which items you're going to address in a given week. - WAF gives you the ability to add and negotiate with sponsors directly, and I loved having direct control over this aspect. - I love having full control over both the training grounds and the stadium. In FM, your training area is a hidden number between 1 to 20 that controls how well your players train, but in WAF, you have all manner of buildings and fields with specific bonuses. Likewise, choosing when and how to expand your stadium is left up to you in WAF vs. oftentimes infuriating back and forth with your board in FM. - The UI itself feels much more accessible in WAF. While there are plenty of great skins in FM, all of them fail to achieve the kind of openness and intuitiveness that I found in WAF. Things I prefer in FM: - Attributes. For both staff and players, the single most important attribute in WAF is basically a "level" between 0 and 15 that is indicated by the number and color of stars. On the one hand, I love the simplicity and it does generate some excitement when a player or staff gains a star...but on the other, there is next to no indication of what staff/players are good at on any kind of granular level outside of a handful of skills they can unlock. - I feel much more connected to the games themselves on FM. WAF has the ability to see the stadium and plays during games, but I quickly turned it off once I realized it was just going to show me diagrams and not actual gameplay. - This is an area I hope will improve as more people play WAF, but while both games suffer from a lack of licensing, FM has a MUCH larger collection of add-ons to be able to mimic real-life teams, leagues, and tournaments. WAF has a great database editing tool that allows you to import custom databases, so I was able to play with real teams in roughly the correct league structure, but I still felt pretty disconnected calling the English leagues "1st Division", "2nd Division", and so on and without any of the correct cup titles. - Coaching licenses, work permits, cup registration restrictions, finance rules, and I'm sure plenty of others that I'm forgetting about. FM is ridiculously accurate when it comes to its depiction of the leagues, and everything I mentioned above is missing entirely from WAF. This makes WAF a bit easier to approach, but is still a net loss for those of us that appreciate really feeling like we're managing a real club. All in all, I really enjoyed my time with WAF, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre, but after a week or two, I found myself back on FM22. I'm hopeful that this marks the beginning of a rivalry with both franchises pushing each other to be better. I definitely have room in my life for more than one football management sim.

Most bugs have been fixed in the last 4 big updates. Patch 5 with a focus on the transfer market is coming soon. Game is a lot of fun. Note, this is NOT a Sega Football Manager "Clone". You act on a higher level in WaF. You are more in the shoes of the clubs manager, instead of the actual player managing trainer. WaF focuses on multi season development instead of micro management for each game,

I’ve been playing football management games all the way back to the original Football Manager, through the Championship Manager era and right back to the current iteration of FM. Throughout this period I have fond memories of games such as Ultimate Soccer Manager, LMA Manager and FIFA Manager, and to me these were always good stable mates to the more tactical approach of the FM series. Recently, I’ve burnt out on the FM series, I’ve hardly played it this year to be honest so I was really excited that we may have an alternative, something a little more casual and less of a time sink. So far this This Is Football is nicely filling that gap for me, and I’m really pleased I took a chance on it. It’s a great change of pace and I think that as a first release of a new franchise the devs have done a good job. Basically, this game focuses more on the building of an entire club, through the building of club facilities, sponsorships, looking after the fans etc. rather than just heavy tactics. So I’ve seen multiple reviews berating parts of game, but in my opinion anyone expecting a new football management game to be ‘perfect’ on day one is not being sensible. There are so many moving parts and simulations that interact that I fully expected that to be the case. Even the current iteration of the FM franchise has to issue multiple balance patches every year. What I think we have here is a very solid foundation of a franchise that sits very nicely as an alternative to Football manger, and competition is important to drive both franchises forward. I truly believe that the devs can build on this create a really strong product. But the most important thing is I’m having fun with this game. I’ve had a terrible couple of weeks due to the loss of my mother, and this game has successfully provided moments of respite. I’m happy with my purchase and hope this review helps you decide if this game is for you. A few things for people to consider who may be thinking about a purchase: • The UI is confusing at first, but after spending some time with it I think I know where everything is. It certainly gives a fun throwback vibe to some of the other games I mention above. • I really love how you can literally just drag and drop players anywhere on the tactics pitch and enjoy the more simple way the player rating is shown. • The teams and players are not real, however it can very easily be patched with one download. Its very simple so it’s not really an issue. • The match engine is very different to FM, I suggest watching a YouTube video if that matters to you. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but it’s grown on me. The devs have said that they are looking to develop a fully 2D/3D engine. • Some of the German to English translations are a bit weird – it can make things a bit difficult to understand at first. • There are a few minor bugs, nothing major or game breaking that I’ve seen. I’ve had no crashes. The worst one is an issue with young players asking for way too much money when signing a contract.

With the existing patch of FM Zocker (there on Day 1!), it is such a nice experience. I like the remote play option and it feels like back in the A3 days, but with a nice UI. Started with my buddy already a season and I guess we will spend lots of hours in this game! :) Edit after some more hours: Yes, there is stuff that could be tweaked (e.g. market value, transfer behaviour, tweaks in the game display), but still. It is pulling me in for "just one more game day!" :)
