I am a long time Football Manager player and have always enjoyed a network/online games. The major problem with these types of games, I am sure you’ll agree is that 2 or more managers in the game really need to be playing at the same time. I would suggest an idea to improve the online game.
It would allow the ability for one player to play with his team without the other player needing to be online. This would allow him to play league matches, where the other side not involved and cup matches up to the next round or if the other players team is knocked out then maybe even further. Obviously both managers will need to be active to play each other and during transfers windows, however this would account for not a great percentage of the season overall.
It would allow great flexibility for players to play that may not be able to meet because of work, family or whatever else and for those who want to play that may live in different time zones. The game itself, I imagine will need to be hosted on a server both players can access easily, however this would have the added bonus of keeping it fair for both players and protect against any database changes one or another player may wish to make.
I believe the idea is feasible with the technology available and as a consumer would love to see it in practice.
