That is actually a very good point MW in regards to Miggle! Are they actually available in stores? I have never seen one myself. I found the game again by searching online and got here first not to miggle.
One of the first thing I read on this site when starting to research it was their $150 product (the 620) was actually no good, and you would be better off finding an old one. That actually scared me away from the game initially because your next step up is around $400, now thankfully I looked into it again ten months later and decided the homebrew way was the best way to go for myself.
But you can't blame Miggle at all. They are a company trying to make money on their products. As we all would try to do. And make no mistake Electric Football is not the only game that faces these issues at all.
But getting back to the main point. If you want attendance to expand it has to be as outwardly open and friendly as possible. And as said before 'league' is a scary word for most people. (To me I see 'league' and I can't wait to get involved, but I also like standing in front of 100mph chunks of frozen vulcanized rubber so you can see how I'm in the minority
)
Proper information for people when they stumble across you is key. And realize that YOU (any coach who reads this forum) are the best advertisement for this game! A simple question for every dedicated coach on here is to ask yourself 'How many people have I given one the player cards (MFCA business cards) to? And can I give more away?'
Sorry for that bit of a rant

Custom products is just that custom, u can take a $10 Miggle team and compete, truly what were talking about is preferrences, what do u prefer, how much time are u willing to invest, do u have the patience to grow & create your own Franchise. The nature of the game has changed, performance far exceeds what has come before, when we start to speak of starter kits at whos cost & time is the next? We cant buy into the notion that u must have a $$$$$ team to compete, it all goes back to time or money. whats your preference?  |
