My kinda topic! Can't decide whether I prefer it doesn't have many responses yet or not.

I've tried a fair few games like BB, most I still play.

Good:
Blackout Rugby (if anyone played in the past they've redone the finances and things seem more balanced now. I only recently re-signed up). Main issue - lack of short term movement. Small leagues where there's big disparity between the old and new clubs.
From the Pavilion (cricket) - 3 forms of the game inc youth = good variety. Training simple. Very few criticisms of this game.
Peloton game (cycling) - kinda my long term bff in online game terms. I bounce between the top division and the one below. Less than 250 users and the fact there's no programmer to make any changes to the game the main problems at the moment. Still a good game though.

Both of the first two have a good chunk of Aussie users if that's something that appeals to the OP.

bad but I still play:
battrick (cricket) - its not awful, but FTP is better in basically every way.
charazay (b'ball) - found this after BB, never thought it was as good, so why am i still playing? idk. set up my tactics at the start of last season, never changed them and came 1st. Logged in about once a week. Not sure I can be bothered with the division above.
Manager League (football/soccer) - it's fine I suppose. Not sure how anyone could get super into it.

things I've tried/played but no longer:
Broken Bat (baseball) - this is actually good, unsure why I stopped. Possibly felt it took too much time to be good / just don't have any interest in baseball in general.
Xpert Eleven (football) - played until a few weeks ago. Was probably on there for 10 years, ha. Finally gone :(
Top 11 (football) - played for a bit. Good, but too "pay-to-win"y.
hattrick (ditto) - didn't last long. Seemed kinda awful, nonsensical and too unrelated to real football.

I think cricket and basketball lend themselves to textsims really well. Much more than football anyway - if there is an actual great game out there I've not found it.

Hi. Peloton game doesn't really seem to work..at least, not right now. :)

Actually me and others users from BB (and outside BB) are playing in a multi anual league on a NBA simulator at

(http://basketball.sports.ws/)

Actually in september we are going to start our 2nd year and we've got few spots available.

I recomend that you can read spannish cause all our forums are on it.

the big win sport series which is for the android is pretty fun, but it is wild irish rose compared to the Dom Perignon that our silly little game represents, but it is a hell of a lot more fun than charazay bballzone and all the other poser sites that do not have the level of gravitas seen here.

I enjoy FUT on FIFA 16 and Football Manager 16

Maybe anyone could fin this interesting:

(http://www.bethecoachbasketball.com/)

This is a pure browser game based on college basketball. You compite against yourself (idk why but I love this game which allow me to not competing against other people. Do you know more of them?), so you can press the return button whenever you want trying to win that match or sign that player....

RedZoneAction (redzoneaction.org) is the best american football game out there. It is a lot like BB except training doesn't take forever and the draftees are actually good. Plus, it is a lot easier to get good fast if you are active

I think Basketball GM http://www.basketball-gm.com is a great game. It's more of an NBA type manager game than BB. You play at your own pace which is nice because you can get into it really fast and play as much as you want.

Also Big Win basketball is a really fun game. It actually has a live action game viewer which I find really impressive.

I play still following:

http://www.grid-iron2.org/ - - American football
http://www.teamhb.org/ - handball

In both the training once a week, one league match, a friendly match plus one cup match per week. It does not take a lot of time and continues to enjoy it. And it's easy even for novices.
