Take a boring sport. Add pictures from all over the internet. Add a reasonable interface with major flaws (eg. Press F to Fire a Player, without any warning). Try and add a manager side of the game (although the main parts of this seem to be missed). Add fantasy races for each side (eg. Orcs, Dwarfs, etc). Put this together in one game and what do you get? Bloody Football.
Sorry, perhaps American Football hasn't seen a proper management game before. But proper football (soccer for those Americans out there) has hundreds of good ones, some free, which would take this game simply to pieces. Forgetting all the images that were taken off the internet, this game is poorly presented, poorly researched, and simply lacks the data required for a half-reasonable manager game.
If you want a good example of a free manager game - look at Handball Manager. I know many of you will be unfamiliar with the sport, as was I when I first played it, but it is by far a better game, and at least plays well.
