Football Managers Chart #6

As requested, here it is the new football chart. I was waiting for Hattrick to reach the 1 million mark before I updated it, but it seems it takes more than I thought.

Trophy Manager managed to climb yet another position. Trophy Manager has now more than double the number of users it had when it first entered the charts, on February 15th.

Online Tennis is more an RPG than a simulator so it-s not on the list

About

This blog is dedicated in bringing you the best Online Sport Managers. There are many online games directories and charts but none of them are accurate. Some of them have so many bad games indexed that it's very hard to find the worthy ones. Others have their charts based on the votes of the users, but those can be easily faked, if you take a look you'll see how low ranked Hattrick is, although it's the biggest game out there with almost 1 million users. So I've decided to make a chart based on the single most important indicator of a good game: the number of players. The number of players taken into account is the one claimed by each site, as I have no other means of checking. If there is any evidence of inflated values I will exclude the game from the charts. All the games in those charts are MMOGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games) and suits the newly defined PBBG type of games.

Rules

As of pbbg.com, a PBBG is a computer game that satisfies the following two criteria: It is browser-based. The game is played over the Internet using only a web browser. It is persistent. Progress in the game is achieved over multiple playing sessions. In addition to those rules the games must comply also to the following: They are free of charge. No fee is required for the game it self. Charging of advanced features is allowed. The games that gives advantages to the paying users are followed by a $ sign. They are endless. The achieves of a player are never lost. Only one account. Double accounts are prohibited and there must be an active system to track down the cheaters. No inactive users. Inactive users should be deleted from the system in a decent amount of time. A virtual world only. The events in the real world have no effect in the game whatsoever. No fantasy type of games. The games are global. Each player should be in a competition of some kind with all the other managers. Exceptions are allowed, such as dividing the users by countries.
