This game is terrible in every way. A total waste of money.
The single player game where you play the game is way too fast to have any effective control. It becomes kick and rush football.
Sensible Soccer it is NOT.
You can choose Real Madrid and play somebody from the bottom of the Cypriot league - you will have no shots on goal and get beat.
Because the game is so fast it really does not matter about individual player ratings - you just lump the ball into space in the hope somebody will latch on to it.
Dribbling is impossible.
Players constantly foul the opposition even when you don't tackle.
The manager side of the game is equally bad - too fast to make any tactical decisions - its going so fast its a blur.
Again, individual player ratings are a waste of time - they have no effect over the game.
You are forced into utterly ludicrous formations to have any chance - i.e. 3-6-1 or 6-3-1.
Don't even try to set up in a natural 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 - you will get battered by everyone.
Want to keep the same formation for 2 games on the trot? - you will get battered in the second game. Its total guesswork.
When selecting your team it would also be a help if alongside the circles on the pitch with numbers in them you had player names.
The interface is clunky and seems to have been imported from 2003 Championship Manager - it is not pretty.

Thank you for taking the time to describe your experience in detail. I would particularly like to address the game speed: you should be able to control the game and make tactical decisions. There are already settings for some of the points you raised, and there have also been concrete updates concerning fouls and player names.
Game speed
Under Game Options → Game speed, you can adjust the pace to your preference, for example to 50, 55 or 60 fps. You can also adjust the speed during a match using NumPad + and NumPad -.
If the settings or keyboard shortcuts do not respond, this may be due to a technical issue, such as the known problem involving G-Sync. In that case, please try the Precise adaptation mode if Compatible does not work. Depending on your hardware and monitor configuration, Decoupled may also help.
Different combinations of CPU, graphics card and monitor can affect how speed adaptation behaves. If you still cannot reliably adjust the pace with these settings, I will investigate the cause.
Player attributes and Daily Form
Individual player attributes do influence the game. In addition, the Daily Form setting applies influences such as morale and form on the day. It defaults to 50%, allowing for more unexpected match outcomes.
If you prefer the underlying player attributes to have a more direct influence, you can reduce this setting. At 0%, that additional influence is disabled. This does not guarantee that the stronger team will win, but it removes the additional variation introduced by Daily Form.
Fouls and player names
I have acted on your feedback about the frequency of fouls: updates 2026.09.19.1 and 2026.09.19.2 introduced settings that let you reduce tackling frequency and aggression in the game. I would recommend around 25% as a starting point. You can even set the tackling frequency of CPU-controlled players to 0%, disabling their tackles entirely.
The requested player names are also now displayed directly beside the position circles in the lineup as of the latest update. Both additions are already available for you to try.
Interface and formations
I also take your comments about the interface and formations seriously. Player career, player-manager with individual-player or full-team control, and the manager-only mode place different demands on pace and balance. I am continuing to refine that balance.
If you would like to discuss these points further, you are welcome on Discord. Your hardware and monitor details, along with whether Precise mode or the NumPad shortcuts work for you, would help me narrow down the speed issue.
I take your criticism seriously and will continue working to improve the game with each update.
