Evaluation

Chinese Football Simulator launched on Steam on March 12, 2026, after eight years of development by a single developer. Since launch, the game has received an exceptionally high volume of updates — including 17 feature patches and numerous bug fixes in just over three months — demonstrating very active ongoing development. On April 1, 2026, the developer published a roadmap covering April and May 2026, explicitly detailing upcoming features such as Foreign Player Naturalization, an Editor Expansion, and Transfers & Playing Abroad upgrades. This confirms the developer has concrete plans for additional content that had not yet shipped at the time of publication. The developer acknowledged in a post on March 14, 2026 that, as a one-person project, updates may not always be rapid, but committed to carefully reading all feedback. The store description similarly notes that multilingual support and further development are priorities going forward. Given the active update cadence and the confirmed roadmap of planned features, the game is clearly still in a phase of substantial ongoing development, with more content and improvements on the way.

About this game

Foreword

Unlike other Chinese football games filled with self-deprecating jokes, repetitive memes, or excessive focus on negative stereotypes, this game carries a different vision.

I believe in Chinese football's brighter future. We're no football desert. Even if we're not at our best today, we deserve dreams - to find our path forward with courage and determination.
