I agree with that Brads, it definitely gets tougher, but its a challenge I'm really enjoying,
To be honest, when I get home from work, the game I want to log onto most is Rocking Soccer as opposed to SL1.
I was content to start at the bottom and take a poor team up the divisions, I've got one promotion from division 6 to 5, but looks like I'll have to avoid relegation this season and strengthen my squad.
I know you can take short cuts, but I've no intention of resigning and getting a bigger club. I feel like the Wimbledon of old if anyone can remember, from the old division 4 to Division 1 in straight seasons, although it may take me longer. I've invested so I'll stay with this club.
What's enjoyable are the decisions you can make about how to earn and where to invest finances, infrastructure or players. The tactics are pretty good too, I spend quite a while tinkering with formations but then run out of reports. Its kind of good also facing different challenges, like avoiding relegation, juggling resources, training methods, and the spreadsheet bits for us staticians.
I'll be on the lookout for your loan players brads
I'ts a pity you can't cancel someones loan though in Rocking Soccer, would also be nice to edit the player names, but the game is growing and enhancements are being added all the time
Whoever (I can't remember now) recommended this game deserves a pat on the back, I think it's brilliant for footy fans like us
i'd recommend anyone to join and try
Cheers
Deca!!!
