Since im a huge football fan and someone that threw away hundreds of hours at Football Manager games, i couldnt let this one slip by. It wasnt expensive to try it out, $5 for the beta.

Few things to mention first. The same guys that made Next Colony made this game. @rondras and @oliverschmid.
That was a game i wasnt very fond of. It was super grindy and theres was no actual gameplay until youre 3 months in. All you did was click upgrade every day. It was a mind numbingly boring click simulator.
When i saw this game was about to launch i was a bit skeptical.
That being said. I think this game has a greater chance at success then Next Colony.
If anything you get into gameplay right away. The UI isnt as convoluted and ugly as the one from Next colony, but it lacks polish. The aesthetics could use some work, some more life.

The theme of the game itself is much easier to get into. You run a team, buy and sell players, upgrade facilities, train your player etc.
Stuff you would expect in a game like this. I cant give you more info since the actual game is on cooldown right now for a couple days until the next season so ill move on to something equally/more important.
Tokenomics:
Ill just jump here since i find tokenomics to be in top 2 most important aspects of a blockchain game. "Novelty and fun" wear off quickly and what keeps people coming back is the tokenomics.
Games like Gods Unchained that had tens of millions invested in their development failed because of god awful tokenomics. Splinterlands did not.
Lets be honest here. You arent making a mainstream game. You are making a game for the crypto community so you need to adjust your game economics to their expectations.
What im saying is:
If the tokenomics remain as is, this game wont go far.
You might get a few months, you might even get a year but eventually people will lose interest once it stops being fun and they gain nothing from it.

Sorry, but this above wont work.. This here, being able to buy ingame currency will kill your game eventually.
Since you can trade RBN on Hive engine the price of the token on Hive engine will always be lower than the price you listed here. You wont be selling any RBN anyway. Selling it ingame is pointless.
What youre doing with this is putting a price ceiling on a inflationary token that will always sell lower than in your ingame market.
You reduced the incentive to play and constrained the market.
You need to dump that idea right away, not "peg" the token and find some other way to monetize the game for yourself without wrecking the economy.
I promise you, leaving it like this wont end well.
Conclusion:
I havent yet tried the gameplay since its 5 days till new league. (Not sure why so long) but i see potential in the game. Hopefully theres some depth in the formation setting.
This could be great if they rework their monetization idea.
Oh and why are there so many Chinese players and no Croatians?! We were SECOND in the World Cup! haha:)

Thank you for your feedback - and let me go straight to the critical point of tokenomics: We had long discussions internally about selling ingame token. I am with you, that once you open up trading off the token, it will most likely lead to lower prices than on the official platform. We have therefore started to add other products which you can buy for HIVE and not for RBN.
One thing though to keep in mind - I am hoping not to develop an ultra-inflationary currency. There is a number of factors in place which should help the game to balance itself over time - for example we have a mechanism which will result in salaries for players to automatically adjust upwards. Additionally, the pool for certain income types such as TV money income and Advertising deals can be adjusted - we thus have another lever to reduce inflation when necessary.
Finally, one last thing - there will be HIVE rewards for players - indeed they are already in place now. I do not want to use this as a marketing argument too much as I think that people should primarily join because they would like to play and not because they seek an investment.
Oh, and with regard to name - I started initially with a handful of countries but will add more step by step. Croatia will be on the list...
Awesome. Looking forward to it.

Good point about the tokenomics, an in-game token is a great idea but pegging it to the usd destroys the speculative fun of such coins.
Exactly
