    Online version of the popular football manager game is truly addictive even though at some moments you feel like a non-paid beta tester. Stadium management needs lots of improvements. [Feb 2009]

    It’s Football Manager, but online on a vast scale. You can’t beat playing against human managed teams.

What this means though is that there is an entirely new game to love and you can quite easily lose hours, days, weeks and months of your life striving to bring through the youth that will turn your local pub team into one of the best in the gameworld.
