I've played this game in career twice and jave grinded my way from league 2 into league 1, but after i reach league 1, i always get penalized, whice reduces my points. force me to drop back to league 2. no matter what path i choose whether i engage in match fixing or try to best honest and play fair i always got relegated to league 2. is this some kind of bug? or is the game actually design this way? if so, please fix this. its extramely frusrating. Terimakasih.

Football Referee Simulator is an affordable and enjoyable game, great for those who want to experience life as a referee. The mechanics are solid, but there’s definitely room for improvement. One big issue is that halftime and full-time are often whistled in the middle of an attack – players should have the option to blow the whistle themselves. A better advantage rule would also make the game feel more realistic. While fun, the game can feel repetitive after a while. Adding more diverse scenarios, unexpected referee challenges, or dynamic match events would help keep it fresh. A dedicated VAR mode, where players only review controversial decisions, would also be a great addition. Overall, it’s a cool game and worth the price, but with some updates, it could be much more engaging!

Nice casual game, would recomment. Needs a bit more flavor. Would be nice if there was a way to add more leagues or there was a way to make our own league either with an editor or editing files. The time we have to read some parts of the story is too short and we miss info.

Very simple, easy-to-learn and very relaxing. Great game. Suggestions to DEV: - When its snowing its very hard to see the mouse cursor. Change the snow, or the mouse cursor. - More leagues, so we can choose in which country we want to play. - Real team and player names - Maybe you could add an editor, so we could edit the names.
