Outstanding game,intelligent gameplay
Best football manager ever :D

The game is much about building your club by following rather non-intuitive (from a football perspective) rules about training and economy. It can be quite addictive to progress, but on the other hand the match simulation is simplistic and lacks any tactical depth. If I want to play a simplistic game that requires time and little brains there are other games with better graphics. If I want to play intelligent games in the same genre, there are some that just blow your mind in comparison.

best browser game of all times and times to come.

Been playing since November 2000 and I am still hooked :)

This game is really showing it's age. It has changed little since 2000, and has a declining userbase

That being said
- it is a nice long-term strategy game
- The developers are active, and attempt to actively balance the game (to stop dominant strategies)
- The community is decent. It used to be the best online community (bar-none), but it has become increasingly polarized over the past few years.

------------------------------
I think that the final fate of Hattrick lies in the balance. Can the developers make this the lively, vibrant game it used to be, or will it continue its decline?
------------------------------
tl;dr: Good game, but getting long in the tooth. Future : unknown

The best online Manager. A fantastic Game!

If you are looking for a realistic and interesting soccer manager with a smart gameplay you should try Hattrick.

Awesome game

I was looking everywrehe and this popped up like nothing!

I know it's the oldest out there, but it has really been surpassed by other games. Tactics and player development isn't nearly deep enough; it's impossible to gain in-game money; paradoxically, the only way to advance, as a newbie who starts in division 7, is to buy out a star-laden squad. Most games have a lot better graphics and personalization features also for free. The only thing I think HT still has over everyone else is the ongoing match commentary: no game that I know has a similarly good game commentary; but it doesn't save the game from its other problems.

It's a good game, but if not buy Supporter package,in max 2-3 seasons banning you.Then you say that you can start again if you want.

u play usually only 1 game per week unless u r still in cup.no graphical representation of match played just a written match report.i think managers do not stop on line cheats in transfer system.

It's a good game. Maybe it's not appealing to the stupid new generations, who only cares about graphics and one million games per week, and all this kind of idiotic things. But to play you have to be good at long term planning. You learn about economics and you have a good time interacting with a vivid community, where most people are above 20 y.o., rather than crying and cheating teenagers. It's also great to build a team, to choose the right kinds of players. I've never seen a manager game that gets close to hattrick in terms, it's much better than anything in the market. And I've been playing it for almost 5 years!

After eleven years, I'm still hooked. A great game.

Have been playing for years, but running out of motivation. It's gotten harder to make money and tactics don't seem to matter very much. Quitting soon.

I had a team for three years, focussing on buying real name players and making a fantasy side. I neve really progressed through the levels, but had more fun creating a side with players like van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney. I even had a growing fan base as was an active member of the community... I was even a paying customer for three years running.

Then in 2012 the mods decided to ban me with no chance of appeal. Their reasoning:

I had 'overpaid for players, which was not allowed at all'. The fact I was bidding against other fantasy team managers made this even more baffling. I argued and argued that they were killing the game with their heavy handed modding, and sucking the fun out if they weren't going to let me spend my own cash, of which I had saved £10M, which is a lot in Hattrick.

Three years of hard work, wiped out and over £100 spent, gone, with no right of appeal. And for what I ask!?

In all honesty the mods ruin the game, they don't listen and their main argument was that the extra £100-200k I was paying for players was giving the other teams I bought from an unfair advantage.... Pathetic.

I would never play this game again due to the fact it's in decline, become impossible to succeed as a new manager... And is about as fun as having a rusty spoon through your eye. The mods for me, are the worst, money stealing, morons, I've ever had the displeasure of talking to. Just be aware you could waste years of your life, only to be banned, and your money taken for nothing.

Hattrick is an unbelievable load of bullsh** run by greedy Swedes.

The match engine sucks big time, the game developers have no ideas and only fix stupid details. The game is running dry (lost 70% of their users). The community is not satisfied with the way things are going.

The game is controlled by secret scripts instead of the manager. Tactics rarely matter.

Find yourself another game or read a book.

If you like a game engine that f**** you in the a** every other game, then this is the game for you !

I've played this game for years. I think this is a very mediocre game. I "visit" other teams often and I can tell you truly that supporters get ALL the game advantages. People do seem to be leaving the game in huge numbers. That said give it a try if you want to play and easy to start soccer game.

the best managerial game I have ever played

A great game with over 200.000 real managers in 134 country leagues! Start building your own team with 17 year old players or trade yourself to the top. You can also start your own youth team where you can scout players of 15 and 16 year old.

My advice: start training different U19 players in the weekend and midweek matches to gain some money and be aware that the playmaking skill is really important. Everyone plays at their own level and the game engine is well-built.

Game must be dead.
