Given what we learned from our last app and what we gathered from the many of you we've talked to who built them before, we decided to try another. Your feedback was helpful last time, so I thought I'd ask once again.

It's a football game in which you build up the best team. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

MUCH BETTER! Using Mob Wars as a template was a wise choice.

Still the invite component needs to be pushed harder. You aren't enforcing team size requirements for running missions and you aren't rewarding people for building rosters of real players.

OH, and you forgot to put in Offerpal. This is a great game for Offerpal. :)

I see you do reward $10 per hour per fan when you buy a hat logo deal. Not very obvious though and encouraging them to get more "fans" when they buy the hat deal would good. :)

Ah, good thinking. You also get paid more when you play games, which I should also make clear. Maybe I'll put a description in the fan page, and also in the challenge page.

Thanks for the advice.

Oh, there'll be a commissioner section coming soon. We'll even let people buy star athletes and such.

Do you have any demos or other ways of seeing or learning more about the application without the use of a facebook account?

Not really, sorry. If it takes off, we'll probably make a front end for the web and OpenSocial though.
