How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.
| Component | Positive | Quality (0-100) | Weight (pseudo-reviews) |

| All-time Steam reviews | 81% | 75 | 524 |
| Metacritic user ratings | – | – | 0 |
| Post-patch Steam reviews (trust-weighted) | 84% | 78 | 138 |
| Calibration prior (typical game) | – | 72 | 50 |

“WE ARE FOOTBALL 2024 may not be a revolutionary game in the football management sim genre, but it's a much more accessible title for fans who don’t want to get too into managing their own club.”

“We Are Football 2024 is going its own way, improving on what we saw for the first time three years ago. It still hasn't caught up with its rival, but that's impossible with such a small team. In some ways, the game makes sports management accessible even to non-players of the genre. In others, however, it really falls short.”

“We Are Football 24 is an excellent gateway to the world of sports management. Not as in-depth or complex as the established competition, it is no less rich.”

“Greatly improved soccer manager that revives the old Anstoss feeling, but hasn't quite arrived in the modern age yet.”

“Brings to mind the great football managing sims of old, but doesn't rely only on that nostalgia. It plays well and is beautifully approachable.”

“The pleasure of managing a football team, which was presented in the previous game, has been preserved exactly as it is, but almost nothing has been added to it. As it stands right now, there isn't much reason to abandon the first game and move on to 2024.”

“We Are Football 2024 is a good step in the right direction. It aims to be a more manageable and user-friendly version of Football Manager, but it needs more realism in the simulation and a better match engine.”
