# Play Pocket Manager

A browser-based six-a-side football management game built around a sticker album: open packs, collect 260 players across five tiers, set your six on a tactics board, play matches live with penalties and free kicks, and go through league and cup seasons with promotion and relegation. Free to play, no ads or timers, saves stay in the browser.

## Description

Play Pocket Manager is a free browser football management game made by a solo developer. You rip open sticker packs and flip stickers one by one, collecting 260 players across five tiers from Common to Legend, each with their own slot in the album. You pick six players (keeper plus five) on a drag-and-drop tactics board where chemistry and positions matter, then play matches live, taking penalties and free kicks yourself, making half-time substitutions, or simulating to the end. Each season includes a league and a cup with promotion and relegation, and the table is drawn like a wall chart. Packs are bought with coins won from matches; there are no ads, paid packs or waiting timers, and the save stays in the browser. Season 1 is completely free, and it works on PC and phone.

Made my nephew his first football manager style game, its basically a sticker album you manage (free in browser)

Game Title: Play Pocket Manager Playable Link: https://playpocketmanager.itch.io/play-pocket-manager Platform: Web browser (works on pc and phone) Description: So my nephew is football mad but Football Manager is way to much for him, all spreadsheets and menus. I wanted to make him something that gave him a taste of it without all that, and it kind of grew from there lol. Its a six a side management game built around a sticker album, like the ones we all used to fill in as kids (I definately spent too much pocket money on packs). - you rip open packs and flip the stickers one by one, theres 260 players across five tiers from Common up to Legend and they each have there own slot in the album - pick your six (keeper + five) on a tactics board, drag them about wherever you want, chemistry and positions actually matter - play the match live, take your own pens and free kicks, make subs at half time or just sim to the end if your impatient - league and cup every season with promotion/relegation, and the league table is drawn like those wall charts you used to get free with Shoot and Match No ads, no paying for packs, no waiting timers. You buy packs with coins you win from matches. Season 1 is completely free in the browser and your save just stays in your browser. Would really love some honest feedback on: - did the first 5 mins make sense without reading anything - did it feel like your decisions in matches actually mattered - anything get boring or repetitve after a few games? Free to Play Status: ☑ Free to play ☑ Demo/Key available ☐ Paid Involvement: Solo dev, just me (Buckminster Interactive). I design and playtest everything, had some help from AI tools along the way.   submitted by   /u/Specialist_Train4579   to   r/playmygame [link]   [comments]
