    [app]Manage Your Football Club[/app] is on sale now for $5.99, so those that were waiting for a lower price-point can get in on the action.

    Cool, thanks for pointing that out. I was leaning towards getting it and was waiting to see if they might have a sale now that there's more competition.

    Just bought myfc.

    I knew that it only had the English competitions... I can't find players based on non-UK teams on the market. So the player database is limited to within UK too?

    If that's true they really need to expand the players database!

    I think he meant MYFC. I emailed them earlier today and they told me the exact same thing. Update should be available later next week!

    I bought MYFC this week, in the sale. Haven'g played it a great deal yet though.

    Jeez, the UI is really nice in comparison the unbelievably awful Champ Man.

    Hope the simulation is up to the job, though.

    I was talking about MYFC, MYFC certainly looks great and in my opinion is the best manager game out there epecially with the new features coming out:

    1. Out of contract (Bosman rule) player contract negotiations function correctly.
    2. Intermittent- ‘friendly game bug at the start of the second season’ fixed.
    3. Intermittent- ‘difficult to win matches bug’ fixed.
    4. Modified- ‘frequency of red and yellow cards’.
    5. Player profile now displays- Goals (con) for goalkeepers and (Scr) for outfield players.
    6. Foreign Players tab added to transfer filter. You can now buy and loan foreign players
    7. Out of contract players (Bosman rule) tab added to transfer filter (operates from the start of the second season).
    8. Formation screen numbering sequential as squad screen
    9. Commentary window now displays Goals in yellow text and sending off’s in red.
    10. Amended player database
    11. Smoothed out ball movement and included club badges on match radar screen to indicate which goal your team is attacking.

    The bolded new features will make the game a lot nicer and smoother, the main creator of this game is really helpful and responsive, many of these changes being made have been because of feedback, I think that MYFC has great potential especially with the attitude that the Creators/developers have.

    Add all this to game's existing awsomeness, and this game will rule. Also according to the dev: "Multiplayer - I have big plans for this, more later." Cant wait to see what these plans turn out to be.

    Los perros cojones.

    multiplayer may be done like soccer manager (online game not the other app). You have a time to submit your team and tactics then you get the result back. or if you are online at the time you can watch the match

    Multiplayer would be quite hard to implement

    I think the updated Soccer Manager is the best manager experience at the moment. But I have some suggestions.

    One thing I would like to see in this or a new version is a team auto select. The players tire quickly from match to match and I find myself having to constantly swap players about between matches - sometimes it's 8 or 9 players. And you have no choice but to swap your players when they get really tired in a game because they will automatically become injured. Just because someone's exhausted doesn't mean they're injured and just because someone's very fit doesn't mean they can't get injured.

    Anyway, I'd prefer it if I could press one button and the strongest fit team is automatically selected for my formation. It would save a lot of time. But tiredness and injuries needs looking at anyway.

    Finally I think it's a bit tough to do well. I play with the current Man City squad and seem to lose more than I should. I really don't think it's my tactics which I've tried a lot. I think some AI teams over perform. I love the stats updates though. It's great playing with the current squads.

    Hope the feedback helps.

    MYFC is good but the finance model is wrong. When you pay signing on fees for contract renewals, the money is taken directly out of the transfer budget. It doesn't work like that. Also I'd like to see individual players ratings. I can't see any only group ratings like for defence.

    I have both as well and like Soccer Manager a lot more. They do need to have lineup slots where you can set different lineups to rest players. I would be happy with just two, if not three or more. Anything to keep you from having to manually change before every game would be welcomed.

    MYFC isn't bad, just too buggy to be able to play regularly.
