Espn FC Manager this year?

by Tohoya on Feb 8, 2012 12:55 PM PST

Does anyone know if they'll be running it again this year, and if so, will Sounder at Heart be running a fantasy competition like they did last year? The main page hasn't been updated since the end of last season. The game had its problems and more than its fair share of detractors, but I really enjoyed it. If it's not running, will Sounder at Heart host a fantasy competition on a different service?

It's undecided which game we'll use this year

ESPN or MLSSoccer.com

but we’ll have one

If it helps make a decision...

I enjoyed the ESPN one much more than the MLS version, unless something changes for this season.

Despite ESPN FC Manager's problems,

I completely agree. It was the best fantasy game last year.

ESPN is massively better than MLS in my experience

The Seattle Sounders are just reDQulous

Agreed.

We’ll see if MLS’s version has vastly needed updates.

It's up and running now

I made up an entry last night. Some of the players are of course off, but hopefully all gets sorted by the start of the season.

Looks like Dave set one up

Here is the link. But I am sure he will send out something too.

MLS did it again almost all starters are way over priced

which makes the game not very playable

I believe development of ESPN FC Manager

Happens out of the Seattle office for ESPN. So it’s got that going for it…

Did it move from the Eastgate office in Bellevue?

ESPN is missing a ton of players - pretty much most of the new off-season signings

and there are some players on there that have no right still being there – they still have Koke as a player in Houston. Seriously. Hopefully that will get cleaned up before the season. Also, a few players have been put in odd positions.

Since LA, Tor, and we have pretty unsettled rosters for a couple games (and we’re not even active the first week) and Chicago isn’t playing the first week, either, apparently, that cuts down on choices a lot, too.

Ochoa the midfielder was one of my favorite errors

Some of those positional mistakes change player values. Fucito is listed as a mid, but will certainly be a forward. That means every goal he scores will be worth more.
