I tried to get my gf to play this game too when i was visiting her.
I was like check this out! You get to develop your players... buy them... sell them... build your arena... and you even get to watch the game LIVE! Like this!
her reaction:
So let me get this straight. You camp the pc to buy imaginary players with imaginary money.Then spend hours trying to figure out how to get said imaginary players, imaginary skill lvl ups from imaginary playing minutes. And you spend more imaginary money on an imaginary arena. Finally, you use all that practice imagining to imagine the game when you see a bunch of words appearing on your 'LIVE' game? WOW! COOL!
If you didn't gather... she didn't take to it!
