Review: Soccer Manager 2025 has elicited a wave of disappointment among long-time fans, especially those who remember the glory days of Soccer Manager 18. Since that iteration, there appears to have been a decline in the quality and engagement of the gameplay. Many players have voiced frustrations about the game being riddled with bugs and glitches that hinder their experience. The developers promised a more realistic simulation each year, yet it feels as if the opposite has occurred—losing authenticity and enjoyment with each release. Features introduced over recent years seem more superficial than substantive, and critical issues that affect gameplay and enjoyment remain stubbornly unaddressed.
This year’s version suffers from numerous glaring faults, often leading online discussions to emphasize how troublesome these persistent bugs are. For instance, players have reported that the game often forces them to watch advertisements before matches, with it sometimes freezing into a blank screen while only audio can be heard. Such bugs paint a grim picture of a game that seems to have prioritized profit over user experience. Worse still, the aesthetic elements that fans once adored—the players’ faces, the club badges, stadium names, and even the crowd animations—have vanished, leaving a sterile and uninspiring environment.
Long-time players, who’ve been in the franchise since as early as 2018, lament the loss of engaging gameplay that kept them invested. Many have pointed out that while features like the revamped home screen and training notifications show some promise, they cannot redeem the surrounding issues. Match scheduling is abysmal, with players forced to compete in back-to-back matches with minimal recovery time, which shatters any semblance of strategic management. The AI responsiveness seems to have taken a step back, making it far too easy to feel frustrated with player performance and the overall match pace.
Compounding players’ frustrations, match highlights have become tedious. Each highlight ending with a goal take an excruciatingly long 12 seconds, while unsuccessful ones last about five. Consequently, players are caught in a cycle of rooting for failed plays to end both suspense and the highlight reel, which feels contrary to the heart-pounding thrill expected in a football simulation. Unlike previous iterations, where score changes and match dynamics felt engaging, SM25 gives players the sensation that they are mere spectators rather than managers.
Critiques surrounding the tactical management system have also emerged, with users complaining that the squads do not update correctly when transferring players. Players who’ve become accustomed to adaptability in tactics find it hindering that such basic elements function improperly, leading to unnecessary frustration. The overall lack of depth in strategic management—the emails and player requests circling almost exclusively around game time—feels repetitive, eroding the dynamic nature the game once offered.
While Soccer Manager 2025 features improved graphics and some new elements, such as celebratory animations and a newly formatted European competition, they fall short of addressing the fundamental gameplay issues that persisted in prior versions. With the overall user experience marred by a clunky user interface and buggy performance, many users have voiced their dissatisfaction by revisiting older versions of the game, such as SM24, which remains preferred. The fans representing the heart of the community are left to hope for steady updates to address these substantial problems, but as it stands, the title is seen not as an advancement, but rather a profound step backward. In conclusion, Soccer Manager 2025 needs a significant overhaul to restore the excitement and strategic depth that fans yearn for, lest it fade from the collective consciousness of gamers seeking a rewarding simulation experience.
