Thiago Netz

manager of Juventus, board member

My first memory of Managersim goes back to the very beginning, pre-RealityGames, the french company that once ran things, and all I remember is how hard and yet addictive this game was. So many people playing in different betas and I struggled to make money and buy players.

Back then, I was a student at high school years, and then cheered right after University when I was told the game was back, on Fulltest era.

What the best moment, memory or achievement I remember from those days?

I'm not a man of explicit achievements. Digital glory is for others, but I guess I have to say that when I was able to scout all players in the game, that was a damn good game improvement. Organizing the Soccersim Cup was also very fun.

My worst moment, memory or achievement was going away on vacation (RL) and finding out my designated assistant failed to log on and got me fired.

About who the best managers are, I wasn't playing seriously when most managers made their name, and I'm sure we had great ones that understood the game then and now in levels I wouldn't dream of. But one guy I was able to help into making the necessary tools to develop and that I am sure would start to challenge and to dominate was Phillip R. I. Stein.

What competition, league or cup is most fun?

Definitely League. Cup is for subs. None is a match for the Soccersim Youth Cup I used to run though.

About the new features, we have so many new features, I need to see how they work 1st. The mass MO is amazing.

What I don't really like is the hidden BCC.

I have few challenges ahead, to win more, maybe the treble in Italy?!
