So far the game is exceeding expectations, and I'm beginning to regret only entering 3 teams, due to my apparently misplaced scepticism. Certainly SM are doing well on the PR front and if the game continues without any major cock ups many of us will have been proved wrong.

However while several of us sceptics have started to comment, there is still a deafening silence from those who were rabidly critical before the game started.

One thing is for sure this game is going to be won by someone who knows what they are doing. My initial mini bet would be on Mike Shipley, although 12345678 has now made a tardy appearance on the leader board.

All the game issues from the start still remain, mainly the clunkiness of the site, full page reloads for each transfer out then transfer in, no scrolling list of players, no bottom of the table league.

To be balanced though, we knew all that from the start (or at least 1st week) and nothing has got worse. Points updates have been fairly reliable and corrected where not and also quick. Good customer service too.

If I was drawing a comparison between this and SDT out of 10 for overall experience, I would've said 3 v 9 at the start and about 6 v 7 now so YTM is improving, simply by doing nothing else wrong.

I'd say big credit to Silent Manager so far. Very well done so far.

Hope you've all got your 4-3-3's set up :o

I can't even find the leader boards (not that I'm on them!). Would like to see how far adrift I am, though..... Don't really find this very easy to navigate in my old age....

...none really, other than the fact that I still hate the Site (not helped by seeing the 3 teams that I paid for being classed as inactive :evil: ) and, consequently, spend less than 5 minutes a week on it.

Anyway, I really haven't the time, or the inclination, to get my head around this new version of the game - but am genuinely pleased to read that others are enjoying it :) . OFL is now my favourite FF game - good to see a Site that looks as if it's been produced by professionals.

Thanks to a little help, finally found the leaderboard :oops:

The leading team actually seems quite decent and sustainable, even though he's clearly used a good few transfers to get there....

Hi guys,

Just a quick one to say thanks for all the feedback. The game is running really smoothly at the moment, and since the launch there have been very few issues to deal with, which has been brilliant, both for us as a company and for the people playing our game. I hope you all enjoy it and good luck!

- just to let you know, this is a relatively simple problem to fix. If you give our YTM customer support desk a call on 08448804573, someone will be more than happy to go through this with you - activating teams takes about 30 seconds. If you're experiencing a problem with the game, it's always worth giving us a call to see if we can help you.

Thanks,
SilentManager

No point in activating seasonal teams now, they're dead in the water. I sent Emails before the seaons started and they were ignored and I have no wish to lose even more money by racking up international phone call charges for no good reason. I'll limp along with my one free team and see if the game grabs me when I have more time to look at it, but I still think that the Web Site is awful.
