Every time a match is completed, Glory Points are earned. Glory Points can be spent within the game to unlock certain players, extra features, etc. When a certain total is reached, you can apply to manage at a new club (the better the club, the more Glory Points you need). As you stay at a club for longer, you will earn more Glory Points.

Reception

The game received fairly negative reviews, mostly due to the high quantity of unlicensed features in the game. Several team managers and team names are incorrect. Also, if a player is not licensed in the game, they will not appear in search results.

Another point of criticism is the fact that clubs cannot be relegated, therefore the same clubs stay each single season. This has been considered very unrealistic and 'lazy' on the part of the creators. This limits gameplay and enjoyment for the player.

Future

It is unlikely a sequel will be produced, due to the initial failure of the game in the gaming world. However, it has become apparent that some fans of Pro Evolution Soccer and Konami consider Let's Make a Soccer Team!
