I've tried most other offerings out there. But they fail in different areas. As does T11. I wish they would up their game a little/a lot! Make it more detailed, stuff like individual orders for players, a much better market, allow messaging between friends, maybe add in a simple live game engine ... then it would rock! For now though, it's still the best 'free' manager game out there. It'll cost you to really go far in it, and I would rather an upfront general fee to make it fair for all. But, in this day and age, in-app is how it is.
I have been tempted to buy FM for the ipad/iphone, but couldn't see it being near as detailed. I will be buying FM 14 for the PC, I skipped on it last year.
