Some great advice

You know what I see? I see members mistaking the game engine in T11 for the game engine for Football Manager. People have to realise, if the AI was as good as Football Manager, do they really think they'd allow it to be free on Facebook? They'd sell it in shops and compete with EA.

Donations for Nordeous are no different than speeding up vegetables growth in Farmville.

This is true but I believe it is much more profitable and less expensive for Nordeus to use FB as an outlet to address the masses. Think about it: no packaging costs, available to 1 billion people, no consoles to make several versions for, and really, no competition. IF Football manager were smart, they would do what Nordeus is doing and they would put Nordeus out of business.

EA wouldn't do that, they'd cost themselves money by taking FM fans to an app.
That would be incredible though!

The market is different, FM tried a peer to peer game and it fell on its arse so they tanked it. They're smart enough to know that they are at the top of the market for what they do, so they focus on that

And the gunman is right, T11 has a much simpler engine than FM that allows it to work in this format

Not to everyone's liking of course, but then I know a lot of people (including me) who get furious with FM too
