Trawling through the internet and found this game...Premiership Coach 2011. Seems to be an attempt at an AFL version of Football Manager.

I'm downloading it now, but wondering if anyone else has it and has thoughts?

EDIT: Wasn't sure if this belonged in here btw, mods feel free to move if you feel it is off-topic.

yea great game you will like it

what site did you find it on, I have an older version of it.

The off-field structure of it is good but the actual gameplay itself is awful (though obviously some don't think so).. The only way I could play it (old and new versions) is to autosim the matches.

i tried the old version for about 20 mins........its no FM

Yeah, finding the match engine is total rubbish. Not even bothering, just simming the games, but the backroom stuff is great.

Now if I could only get the Dees to win...

Don't know why they didn't go for an option where you could just show the text overlaid on the player stats - showing the ground counts for nothing considering that it's well behind the text (which is generally impossible to follow because it skips and jumps).

As you said the off-field stuff is great (except the trades are a bit wonky. North were very kind to offer me Daniel Wells for the lowly rated in game Stef Martin) but the game 'play' itself is awful.

http://www.footyfanatic.net/ is ancient (came out in '07 I think and 2009 as late as you can get for lists) but considering that it's free it more than matches up if you don't want to fork out $25 for something which is badly flawed.

Got the Dees to runner up in the 2010 version. Lost the big one by 5 goals to St Kilda. Jack Watts won the Coleman with 80 something goals.

if we compare it to the early FM'ers, than i think it shapes up ok..

give it time, the afl cant get the rules right in the real thing, so it will take time for a game to get all the variables in the match engine up and running

has amazing potential though
