THE ZONE - MANAGERZONE.COM

The forums are an essential part of ManagerZone. It is the one place where all the cool people meet to discuss tactics, players, rant about a recent defeat or brag about a victory. Whenever your team is doing poorly, there is always the forums to cheer you up. Some people would say the simulator is the heart of the game, and that is a fair statement. However, without a good forum there will be a severe heart attack. If community did not matter, we would all be playing single player games instead of ManagerZone. We are here because we play against other people who share the same passion for manager games as we do.

Good suggestion

For Not Club Members » More slots in tactics - Signing underneat
By fhuryon (RA) 15-03-2013 01:49
	Hi ;) If you agree to have more free slots in tactics for who doesn´t are club member, sign underneath. For who doesn´t are club member and plays in leagues U18, U21, U23 and finally in principal championship (mandatory), how we can have four tactics specifies for each league? We only have three slots tactics available for four different types of leagues. CREW: I request to provide at least one more slot for who is not club member. Thank you. Cumpz

This suggestion was good. Crew decided to give non-club members who partake in one or more of these extra leagues, both a D and E tactic tab. This proves that Crew reads even the most remote parts of the forums, so if your suggestion is good, it might be implemented within months.
