What real reviews say
★★★★ Fun but… So fun but you only get to play one season and you don’t get to continue to the next if you win the whole thing. I wish they would continue to develop the game further instead of setting it up and forgetting it. Very fun though.
★★★★★ Home run This game is amazing as someone who has never played the original version this game is just great
★★★★★ Best BEST GAME EVER
