I'm a premium user of this. I love the classic game and I'm committed to sticking with this and getting better at it but the bugs are just killing the experience. I've started just forgetting about the mobile version and sticking with desktop because it's really frustrating to use. I'm hoping that as a paid user my concerns are listened to and more is done to stabilise this game. I'm honestly not prepared to pay for another year at this stage.

Thanks for making the game I play Top Eleven and I was keen to play something similar in Rugby and Cricket. Definitely ok to be original and do your own thing! However I far prefer the Live match of Top Eleven. I like that I can change tactics and make substitutions 'during' the game. Your game is pre-set and watch. I've read you're going to fix the animations ect and that's fine. But it's really missing the Live game feel. Look forward to see how it ends up and what you do with Cricket

This game will be one of the best rugby manager games I've played haven't played them all. I like how they don't stuff ads and promotions down your throat just let's you get on with the game. 1 thing I would like to see is to be able to sub and change tactics ect. during live matches would be a great addition. All in all awesome games creators keep up the good work looking forward to the next project if there is one.
