Managing Bayern Munchen Reserve Team

[pvtsilver]

So I found out recently that you can pick Bayern Munchen II at the start of the game and actually be the Manager of Bayern Reserves. Seems like a cool feature, lot of ppl were asking for it, but now that it's here seems nobody is talking about it. Wonder if you guys have any experience playing as Bayern Reserves? Did anyone encountered any special interactions? Is your squad changing a lot during the year? Seems a bumer that you can't progress beyond the 3 bundesliga. Please share your experience if you have any. Thanks!

This is only due to the introduction of the third tier of German football and as such is no different to managing one of the Spanish reserve teams who also play in the lower leagues. Usually you will find that you don't really have much say with regards to transfers and squad selection which coupled with the lack of progression into the top leagues really limits what you can do. Yes it can be great to develop the next big star but do you really want to only be a stepping stone without any chance of really making a name for yourself as a manage?

AS woolly says, it is, to all intents and purposes, a separate club, so when the 3rd tier entered the fray it became available to us.
Would be a nice pathway to follow if Bayern are in the habit of bringing the reserves coach up to first team.
