What is people's opinions on the monthly challenges?
So far no-one has actually completed a season with the January Challenge, is that just because I picked a rubbish one or are people not bothered about it?
I like the monthly challenges.
I don't think it was a rubbish one. It was a challenging one though. Can't remember ever getting sacked as fast in any other FM game.
I do admit that participation in the monthly challenge is a bit lower than i expected. (Though I don't think it's low enough to call it a total failure and give up on it - it's not that bad.)
Perhaps, to build up a bit of a "regular" crowd of participants, a slightly less obscure team for the next challenge would be a good idea?
Personally I don't mind managing in obscure nations like Peru at all, but a slightly more familiar team/league might appeal to a few more people. Not necessarily an English team, but maybe a French, German or Italian sub-top team who has a UEFA cup ticket, or something.
That would give people different competitions to perform in (league, cup and Europe), and it'll feature teams which most people will at least have heard of, which would be a bit more appealing.
And once they participated once or twice, it'll be a smaller step to also participate when the challenge is to take over FC Obscure.
