im still in the dark about how the whole thing works :worried:
 
Okay I'll try to explain it best I can....

First thing's first..there are no real teams. At the start of the game all players are unattached. You then create your own team and sign players to make up your initial squad.

There will be many different game worlds in the beta each consisting of about 1000 different managers. 28 Days real time = 1 year game time (although different worlds will have different amounts)

Player wages are paid out every 24 hours and you make money by your team ranking in the world (£150k a day is the minimum and £300k goes to the top ranked team). At the moment my player wages are £280k a day and i make around £230k from the rankings money so as you can tell I'm currently making a loss and eventually I will go into debt.

Anybody can create a competition. You can then join these competitions (leagues, cups etc..) for a fee and you can win prize money from these to help pay your player wages.

Once in a competition you get your fixtures. These fixtures have a deadline when they must be played by. If you and your opponent are online you can challenge your opponent any time before the deadline date. If your opponent accepts you will then have to do your team and then when you are both ready the match gets underway. Once the game is over you can challenge another opponent. If you don't have any competition fixtures to play you can play friendlies instead. These can also be played any time of the day.

So does that explain it a bit better? :D
 
it sure does, but surely its hard to sign all the good players because there could be like 500 managers all afta one player
 
Yeh that's true. But the good player like Gerrard etc.. are all on extremely high wages due to the demand so teams can barely afford one player so you don't have to worry about a shortage of good players to sign :D

For example in one of my first blog posts I showed a screenshot of an auction for Diego. I think his wages ended up at around £80k and like I said teams will only get an income of around £150k-£300k from rankings. So you can see that the £80k wages will take a huge chunk out of that.
