I've been playing this game for quite a while now. I've managed to progress to the 2nd division. It has its flaws but it's still really fun.

Who's your team?

Houston 1836

Oh, haha, I talked to you the other day. Mine is Austin Football Academy

Ah yes...I remember that. Small internet world.

I found this dialogue humorous.

Why would you choose a subtle yet outrageously insulting name like 1836?

Looks like this thread has inspired a few of us to create a team. My team was placed in the same league as The Aggies, and I'm betting their manager (like me) got the idea here.

So to whomever created the Aggies, I'm coming for ya! I hope you don't back down from my challenge to a friendly. The LBZ 2006 will play you anytime, anywhere.

I was going to name it Death to Santa Ana but decided against it.

If anyone is looking for helpful hints/ideas, I'm willing to share. It took me a little while to get into it but once I did, I was hooked.

Yeah I created a team and will definitely be playing with it once I get done with test week

how do you change kits? Mine is god awful ugly

First suggestion:

Complete your FITA license. It will walk you through the basics of the game and after you complete it, you get about 15,000,000 dollars to add to your bank. I actually can't remember how to change kits now because it has been so long since I've done it but I know they show you how if you do the FITA license program.

From the registration screen, you should see a spot well over in the right margin that allows you to change the kit. Which country did y'all set your teams up in? Due to the current situation at Newcastle, my team is playing in Germany.

One of the early parts of the licensing process is changing your team's uniform. If you don't do the licensing then you can get to your uniform from your team's clubhouse. Just look for a "Change team kit" on the right hand side of the page under a heading called "Club Tasks".

Mine is in the USA.

Everyone put in your club name here so we know who your team is.

Club: Austin Football Academy

I'm in the USA as well

Club: College Station Gunners

I definitely wasn't feeling creative when I created it but eh, what can you do

USA, league 7.9

Club: LBZ 2006

Allegedly 2 other friends of mine just joined, but the site went down so I can't confirm. They are Jelly Legs (a fellow Ag) and Texas Stampede (obviously a horn), also in league 7.9.

damn this looks cool. i want to sign up but it looks like it might take away from productivity.

dre, how much time did you spend on this?

I really need a win tonight against an average team. Or else im facing relegation.

Well I got the win I needed, now I just need to win about half of the rest. :/

Well, FC Spaten is stuck in Germany. However, I'm only 4 points from promotion to the 4th division, so that's nice.

I'm also in League 7.9

somehow I already have a win, guess my assistant manager picked a good squad for some match

I'm also in 7.9

CS Liverpool

Houston Wrecking Crew in USA 7.10.

I am currently the only human owned team in the league with a record of 0-27-1. There are 8 teams tied for first with a record of 1-27-0.

I don't know...maybe 30 minutes a day? Some days, if I'm bored, it will be longer and initially you might spend longer to learn some of the nuances. It's not a game where you have to spend a lot of time though if you don't have it but the more time you spend, the better you'll do.

For those in division 7, let me assure you that almost every one of you will be promoted...some might skip a division and go to division 5. At the end of every season, the developers delete dead teams and banned teams and a large majority of the teams in divisions 5, 6, and 7 fall in that category. In fact, it can make the experience a little less fun when you realize that your league of 18 has 5 active members. Generally speaking though, by the time you hit divisions 1-4, the majority of the teams are active which makes the game a lot more fun.

Also another thing, you don't need to buy Pro membership to play the game but I find it extremely helpful. It comes out to about $4 a month if you buy the 3 month membership. I wouldn't suggest buying it straight away in case you don't like the game but if you think it's something you'll spend a fair amount of time on, I'd do it as it provides a lot of tools that makes the game easier.

I have a couple of questions:

Transfer List
1. If you put a player on the transfer list, can you change your mind and remove him if no one has bid?
2. If no one bids on a player is he automatically removed from the transfer list after a set amount of time?
3. Is there an easy/cheap way to get good players?

Player Development
1. How quickly do the youth players progress?
2. Do you need to play you players to progress them or just train?
3. How quickly do older players loose their skill?

Misc
1. Can you change your sponsor?
2. Anyone interested in an all Aggie Friendly League?

I joined just in time to set my training up prior to the weekly training session. The next day most of my old farts already lost a point in some stats, and well, that kinda sucks. Of course at that point I didn't have any coaches signed (still don't), so I don't know what kind of difference that will make.

If I read the guide correctly, I think the skills only progress from training and 'routine' increases from games.

Does it matter who your sponsor is? Are you looking to change just for a cool/different logo on your jersey? I think those can be changed only during the first few weeks of a season.

I'd be up for joining an Aggie friendly league, but only Pro members can set up friendly leagues.

Yeah, I want to change my sponsor for a different logo. My current logo just looks like a jumbled mess on my jersey.

You cant change the Logo until next season.

Ag in a box, its ONLY people with Pro that can join, so you cant do a friendly league unless you are Pro.

Transfer List
1. If you put a player on the transfer list, can you change your mind and remove him if no one has bid?

No, have to hope no one bids for him and you get him back, or you can bid for him like the rest of teams.

2. If no one bids on a player is he automatically removed from the transfer list after a set amount of time?

After his bidding time is up, I think bidding time is 5 TM days.

3. Is there an easy/cheap way to get good players?

Ehh, not really, the easiest and cheapest is to generate good youth players.
Player Development

1. How quickly do the youth players progress?

Depends on skill of the player, I recommend getting at least 2 scouts, and scout every youth player you get at least twice with a different scout. In my opinion if he is less than 10*, he is not worth keeping.

2. Do you need to play you players to progress them or just train?

You dont have to play them, just train them until good enough to start.

3. How quickly do older players loose their skill?

This also depends on the player, all players start loosing skills when they turn 28.
Misc

1. Can you change your sponsor?

Between each season you can.

2. Anyone interested in an all Aggie Friendly League?

Have to have TM Pro to be in one.


To Ag Box's Question:
Does it matter who your sponsor is? Are you looking to change just for a cool/different logo on your jersey? I think those can be changed only during the first few weeks of a season.

No it does not matter who the sponsor is, I just pick which one I think has the best looking logo, and I usually switch my uniform up to go with the logo. The Uniform can be changed any time you want.
