Excellent, realistic game

Game: Trophy Manager

I often search for online football management games and I can say that this is the best I've ever come across. Unlike many other online football management games, it has the feel of an actual football team. You won't find a team with a row of players at 90% skill nor will you have to purchase 10 doctors to keep your players in shape. The matches are as enjoyable as a browser-based game gets. You find yourself cheering, hoping that your team scores an equalizer right into stoppage time. Although the defenders seem a bit too weak and the goalkeepers too skilled (like in the PC game FIFA 07), most of the matches play realistically with with every player having their individual skills. You can buy an OMC with good technique and watch him dribble past the defense (or pass the ball to another striker). The training system, the stadium facilities and finances are also excellent, albeit a little predictable. It appears to be a new game, so one can forgive some of the flaws. The only thing the game suffers from is an unrealistic bidding system (although like in real life, good players tend to be overpriced!), a few bugs, and the fact that the early players tend to be in higher leagues. It's the game I'd highly recommend, but I give a 4 because there is still some room for improvement.
