Premiership Coach

I thought at least a few of you might be interested in this game currently being developed. AFL fans have long suffered with inferior management games (the management side of the official AFL Live series is farcical) but this game looks to have answered the call.

check out the website for a features list and sign up to the forum to ask questions to the developers. the whole idea for the game is to give AFL fans their own FM style game for our great sport. soccer/football fans have been blessed with some brilliant games over the years so please get behind this game so that aussie rules fans can finally experience a world class game too...we've been filling the void with FM all these years!

Donners

Well, there are already some recent attempts at AFL management aside from the commercial disasters (Keven Sheedy's AFL Coach sttill makes me shudder):

First is TAR: http://www.stratagemsports.com.au/index.html It was formerly a commercial game, though I can't understand how people would pay for it. There are some nice ideas, such as hiring staff for recruiting, admin and the like, and a very clear game interface, but it seems quite shallow.

Second is Footy Fanatic. The new version of this looked like coming some time after Duke Nukem Forever, but appeared quietly at http://footyfanatic.net/ It has a clumsy game interface and no editor, but is brilliant from a stats perspective.

FF does have a great stats database, and Premiership Coach will have that also. TAR was a pretty well put together little package, but the gameplay just didn't really satisfy. also the UI was uninspiring.

Premiership Coach will be more along FM lines....giving the whole management experience.
