The note is concerned with the theory of many players differential games examined within the framework of mean field approach. The results presented in the note are as follows. First, we show that the solution to the deterministic mean field game can be nonunique. Second, we present a property of the multifunction of the mean field game that describes the value multifunction using its value in the intermediate time.
