- On the ball -
|

Football manager games are quite common these days but on the ball is
very different from the others. The theme of the game is football yes
but you must manage all the aspects of the team you are managing from
seating prices, advertising and sponsering. All this is ofcourse to make
money and if you do well you will get a nice big bonus at the end of your
term.
The first thing to do is ofcourse to pick a team that you will be managing
and you can choose from a number of English teams. Then it's right to
business because you have a company to run and money to make. Usually
at the start there will be an offer to sponsor you team and you must decide
wether the offer is worth it or wait for a better one. Things don't cool
down from here though as you have to set seating prices for the stadium
and build new seats that might appeal to VIP's. You'll have to check player
transfers, which players are to play and much much more. The matches themselves
are not shown as play but you basically get the results after play and
that's it, but this is really fitting with the game because of it's serious
nature.
On the ball is quite a different kind of football management game. It's
not often the game focusses entirely on the business aspect of football
instead of the game itself. This does mean the game might be less appealing
to some gamers because they want to have more control over the play ascpects
of football such as plays and wether to concentrate on attack of defence.
However if you're looking for a business sim that just happens to be about
football then this if probably one of the few games you can choose from.
