Lack of footy management games

It seems that the desire has the ability to run really decent games and yet football management games especially, are few and far between. There seems to be a demand for them but there just are not any decent ones out there. Ive tried MYFC, and RF2009 Manager but they are quite weak. The Android market has the potential to be as big, if not bigger than Apple but the choice of games in select areas are virtually non existent. I know everyone does not want the same thing but while I enjoy games that are arcade play, the simulation side is selective to say the least. Taking away a decent football management game, what about a horse racing game - nothing, a decent flight sim game - nothing. I know at the end of the day the Desire is a phone, but while cartoony games are enjoyable, some of us like something more in depth. It's just frustrating at the moment and I do appreciate there are developers working hard to bring us games and we, as an Android community, are grateful. I would just like to see a bit more for us strategists Take nothing away though, I think the Desire is an amazing phone and the market is growing at a tremdous speed so its all looking good.

You may be pleased to know that on the flight simulator front, x-plane for Android is on the verge of being released.
I have e-mailed the developer but cannot pin them to an exact release date but video demos of this are readily available if you google it.
It looks AWESOME!!

Thanks bobsie41, that's what I'm talking about. Showing the phone off to what it can play both visually and in depth. It really looks amazing, can't wait for that to be released If you can show me a football management game in that depth of capacity then I will be happy

im an SGS user but im in the camp of wanting a decent manager game for android, i would love somthing like an old CM game (i.e. 01/02) to be playable with a decent update.
ive been trying to find old ps1 games to run on psx4droid but the text on psx4droid always seems to be an issue so i cant get any of them to run well.
i think ill look into GBA and even Genesis/Snes if i have to just to pass the wait until we get somthing decent.

I'm happy if people were waiting for it to come to WP7 in order to switch, but I personally wasn't too impressed with the game.
It's pretty boring and definitely repetitive. The best redeeming quality is how many levels are included. (which is quite a few)

not released yet, but expecting

Yea.
The funnest thing about the game is the Sound Effects (the birds cheering, so CUTE!!!). Boring game, though, IMO. By the time I got to the boomerang birds, I was more than ready to uninstall it.
If there's anything I hate in a game, it's monotanous repetition.

I was done after 30 minutes -_-
actually its not that great of a game. I was bored with it pretty fast

I personally don't need an RPG on my phone to kill some time.. Angry birds is a perfectly good time killer game..

It's funny how many people post to say they don't like it. I think the download numbers speak for themselves... Two OS' have had MAJOR success, I don't think Windows Phone 7 will be any different.. . Great thing is, if you don't prefer it, it was free, and you can remove it.
Me personally, repetitive or not, it's a great time killer while sitting in the waiting room at the dr...
Thank You Rovio!

Pocketnow is reporting a MS confirmation of AB for WP7 and a release date of April 6.
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/microsoft-confirms-angry-birds-plants-vs-zombies-for-wp7

April? I'd personally prefer a surprise launch instead of figuring out why the hell this game is still more than a month away.
Was the legal issue ironed out? Release the damn game!

Every "Xbox Live" game is published by a major studio. Most of the time its Microsoft if its from a smaller developer like this.

Share your Acheivments Score..

Hi,
I think it would be nice if everyone can tell us each other their achievments score on XLive.. if your total includes score from Xbox than please mention it.. as Xbox players get higher scores easily..
My present AS is : 1825, all from Windows Phone games as I dont have Xbox ...
If you want to compare your scores with mine than you can always add me at: Pulakification.
I think its a shame that we have to be Xbox gold members in order to message each other.. sometime I get stuck in some level and I want to ask other players on my list how did they cleared it, but I can message them because I am not a Xbox Gold member.. also I think the 'gamer of the week' is always picked from Xbox gamers with gold membership...

I'm not sure what my exact GS is. Something around 12500 or so. Mostly achieved through XBox games though. If anybody wants to add me, see my signature.

mine is 4115. gotten mostly from Xbox games (GTA 4 containing the majority of them) and windows phone games,had my Xbox since Feb and my arrive since march so that's pretty good for 5 months. my GT is the same as here on the forums.

GT: Yannie Boy
107172
Game on my 360, HD7 and PC.

240
Yes, 240

Mine is 6700 about 1200 or so from WP7

i have an embarassing 365 pts.

Why embarassing? Honestly, these points don't mean sh*t. The only thing they indicate is that someone has way too much time to spend on games.

I have a lot of score only because I buy a crapload of game.. not because I am good at any.. I have only completed Need For Speed and Rocket Riot Acheivments.. all the rest I am stuck in some levels.. beside I am AS score sucker..
I have noticed that these new games which come out lately, all AS scores dont unlock easily untill you finish the game, once you reach the final levels all AS scores starts unlocking very quickly one by one...
On some games like Sonic and Ilomilo.. I am stuck at level 2 or something.. Ilomilo I dont know how to cross the first level itself..

What exactly is the point of the score? Can I buy something with it? Will anyone know me for it?
Seems like a pointless reward system to make one feel better about buying and playing a game, nothing more.

You can't do anything with the gamer score (Mines only 1550 as of today), It's just like this. Compare with your friends and beat scores.
I guess the very, very high people might get into some contests or something but, over all, it's just bragging rights.
I never watched it really, I do play games on 360, PC, WP7...but, from getting my trophy with your scrore in your face every time you go into games, I am interested now. Good marketing I guess...
My Gamer tag is the same as my user name on XDA an other sites...DavidinCT (also on PSN too)

not even! they help one to get the most out of games that they buy for more replay value. for example if this wasn't around one would get all the unlockables and then not play the game again but with achievements u can still play to get them all even after all the unlockables are unlocked so it's more than a "pointless reward system to make one feel better about buying and playing a game, nothing more". however u do have those who are obsessed with their GS and will buy the stupidest games just for an easy 1000-1500pts and as a result have a GS over 25,000.

The point of Acheivement Score is to give you a human opponent and competetion.. and whats the point of playing a game without any competition?

my ones 30025, all from 360, windows pc, and windows phone. got lots of games, some are finished, but most arent. still trying to get 5 more on parachute panic, 10 more on fruit ninja, and 9 more in ilomilo, and 7 more in max and the magic marker.
still waiting for microsoft money to come on windows phone 7.

The point of that score is to get it as high as possible and to do that, you need to buy more games. Basically I think that it's a way to "trick" customers into buying more games to get an as high gamerscore as possible

that comment sounds really stupid on this thread. Yes the points dont mean much, but on a thread titled 'Share your achievements' you should be embarrased.

My GS is 3380, combo of XBox and WP7. Gamertag is Omnifather, feel free to add me.

You know what a lot of people who write their gamertag and say feel free to add me.. and than when I add them, I get a message back like: "Who the hell are you? Do I know you??"
And than I cant even reply back to them because I dont have Gold Membership, I dont know what will I do with gold membership when I dont have Xbox and use only WP for my gaming...
That guy from Nokia release vedio from Sweden, with gamertag 'JiiKii', he in the starting of his Nokia phone presentation said 'Now you know my Live ID and you all can add me..' but I added him and he has not accepted me yet, one month now.. and I can even delete this request, its hang in their in 'pending' section..
And than someone with gamertag 'solaclipse' ... she wrote 'feel free to add me anytime' ... but when I did I got a message back 'who the hell are you?' and I cant reply back ...

Microsoft Annouces 14 new games for Xbox live and I want to shoot myself in the face.

Oher than the non live titles made by independant developers I am starting to think this phone will never make it past the casual gaming.
“Beards & Beaks: Cave Area”
“Bug Village”
“Burn the Rope”
“Chickens Can’t Fly”
“Collapse!”
“Gravity Guy”
“Farm Frenzy 2”
“Fight Game Rivals”
“IonballEX”
“Kinectimals Mobile”
“Mush” .
“Orbital”
“TextTwist 2”
“Toy Soldiers Boot Camp”
Seriously...

a phone is perfect for casual gaming. I did buy "The Harvest" and while it was excellent it wasn;'t nearly as enjoyable for quick plays when you have free time etc

Halo. Forza 4 (perfect for WP7, even downloading "ghost" cars to race against to climb the leaderboards). MIA. Missed opportunity.

Ya Know when they were hyping up "The Harvest" and talking about how games like this were an display of what windows mobile could do I should have known it was a trap.

People use phones for non-casual gaming?

I want Emigmo 2....I wish they would release that for WP7.... I beat Emigmo 3 times now (all 50 levels).

If you were expecting hardcore gaming on a phone, then, well... I don't know what to say.
Shoulda bought an Xbox instead?

Yeah I mean, I kind of agree with that. I have a 360 and consider myself to be a hardcore gamer and I'm just satisfied knowing that if I buy these games I'll get achievements with them.

This just looks like some of the new titles announced at the Gamescom event so i wouldnt take it as the difinitive list, specially seeing as there were over 60+ new XBL games for WP7 announced at the event. http://www.bestwp7games.com/
Maybe MS still need to attract the attention of the major gamehouses that furnish the other platforms with the titles i think you would like to see. Once the mango update is officially released and revenue begins to flow i'm sure the better titles will come.
Have patience though, MS has the Xbox platform and all of the software contacts it needs to make this work, they wouldnt purposefully make WP7 crappy imho.
In the meantime there are some top titles in the marketplace already (sonic, harvest, PES etc...) and i'm sooo looking forward to Toy Soldiers.
Regards,
Creamy

I think we'd all be better off in this forum if posters of topics like this did, indeed, shoot themselves in the face.

Forza 4 Maybe, but how the hell you gonna play Halo on a phone? It's hard enough on the console.

Meh, on the phone I want games that I can take up and play for a few minues when I'm waiting for a bus or something like that, games that is fast to get into and that I can quit anytime.
For hardcore gaming a have a PC.

You're joking right? You want to play these on a phone? The only hardcore game I would try on a phone is a RTS. That said, even on the casual front WP7 is doing poorly. The OS was announced 18 months ago and released 10 months ago and Xbox Live is still a joke. They should have just called it Games for WP and added the Live name in a year or two because as it is now it's doing the brand a disservice.
Oh by the way, there's no game release next week.

You gotta be kidding me.. such games are already their for android.. people say that: 'with an android phone with you, you dont need to buy those sony handhelds.. '
here is one example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZaMNMBfgr8&feature=fvsr
I am just giving it more time till mango .. if we continue to see current list of sub-par games like 'tic tac toe' and 'tap here to kill an ant and get achievements'.. than unfortunately i will make that switch by June. Because it is not an enterprise phone either, so if it cant help me in work than at least compensate that by bringing in serious entertainment.

The OP has a valid gripe. The horsepower is there and the talent is there. These franchises can translate to the phone. I play FIFA and NBA Jam and FPS games on my iPod touch and iphone. Why can't my Focus do the same?
