and a simulation football game eg.FIFA 2001.
Having a game that involves management skills and simulation skills will mean the game will appeal to a wider audience.
This game means you have to be good with your brain aswell as your fingers.
At the beginning of the game you create a football player.
This means designing his hair, eyes, body etc.
Then you have 35 points, which you have to share between 7 categories.
Handling.
Tackling.
Passing.
Shooting.
Pace.
Stamina.
Heading.
These points should reflect the position on field you desire to play.
The points effect the way you play and can improve as the game progresses.
You start the game off at the age of 15 in a youth team of a conference club, when you play well consistently you get moved into the reserve team and then eventually the 1st team. If you play outstandingly in the youth team you may go straight into the 1st team. If you play bad you may get dropped for a game or two.
You have your own agent that try’s to set you up with other teams.
Teams transfer for you when you play well/have a good season.
There is also another screen that gives you a number of options off the pitch.
Diet - Money - Training
Diet
Eat well = fitter/healthier
Eat badly = unfit/unhealthy
(Also effects stamina)
Money
Salaries (Vary depending on what team you play for and what kind of contract you are on).
Things you can buy with your money.
Football boots(effects speed, passing and shooting).
Shin pads (injury prone).
Hair cut (effects heading).
Charity (Popularity).
T.V (so you can watch the match highlights from the game you last played).
Food (effects diet).
Hiring agents (transfers).
Bribes (can effect popularity or success).
You receive money when you have interviews but this can effect your popularity with the club and fans.
You can also make money by betting. You can put money on before the game and can bet on a number of things:
Betting can make you a lot of money but can also damage your popularity if you bet too much and get found out or if you lose a lot of money.
You can also bribe people, your manager to get you into the first team, opposition goalie to score more goals, referee to be bias. One thing, don’t get caught or you could lose more than just your money.
Training
If you spend time in the gym or on the training field you improve your skills and therefore have more chance of getting into better clubs.
The objective of the game is to work yourself up the leagues.
When you get too old to play football you can retire and just concentrate on the "off the field option" and manage or coach a team.
In this game you have to be good at playing football and managing it.
I think that the combination of the 2 would be effective as this type of game has never been used before (Player Manger is similar but in that game you manage and play the whole team.......in this one you concentrate on just one player).
Hope you like the idea!

I have ressurected this topic!
I think DeeJay's poor attempt of having 3 people posting on his topic is pretty amusing, considering they are all by himself :)
