If you haven't heard of it, there's an online management sim in beta test.

It's called SoccerSim.

There are five or six game 'universes' running parallel with each other, and the the number of game turns per real time day (called 'ticks') vary with each game. Each game has about 900 players in it!

I'm not sure if they're still signing up beta testers, but it's worth a look anyway.

I'm in game 'beta3c' and am managing Millwall in the English 2nd Division. You can manage any team in Europe and the Middle East (providing someone else isn't already managing it).

Just for reference, the Millwall team used to have a bit of a bad reputation, the fans even more so.

Millwall fans are a bunch of nancy boys.

Leo - I don't have it, no. I had one of the Premier Managers for a while, but got bored of it. SoccerSim is better because you have human opponents, although I doubt that it's as good as the CM series.

I registered with SoccerSim, but they're filled up, though I on their waiting list.  When I get in I'll probably start 3rd or 4th division.

Sorry to hear that leo.

BTW, you can play any side in Europe.

I started in the Russian 2nd Division (Metallurg Kranyosarsk or something  ). The English leagues above the Conference League (4th division) are filled up,
