Really like this. Compares quite nicely to few manager games i used to play (hattrick, freekick, FTP). Have a few questions though:
What system are you planning to use for youth pulls?
Are you going to implement individual orders for players before games? (eg. Cheese, play defensively etc.)?
Will players have characteristics? (Eg. Aggressive)
And a couple of suggestions:
The amount of players on a team feels small. Maybe extend games to a best of 7?
Maps stats feel to simplistic. I'd like to see characteristics like an narrow natural giving advantage to the defenders micro or something like that, if at all possible.
Great work!
At the moment it's still too early to talk about these more detailed aspect, I'm still working out on the rough aspect of the whole game, when I'm done with that, I think I will be able to get into these.

Fixed, thanks for reporting.

I am abit at a loss for when it comes to training, how does it work? how long does it take for them to improve something, how long can you keep them training something before you have to put them to rest?
I have no data on how long it takes for a player to improve some skills, but here's how it works: the training takes place everday. Everyday, a player will gain a certain amount of condition. When the player plays a game, he will lose some condition. You would want to put them to rest when they go beyond certain level of condition.

Why arent the matches every day? It's kind of boring to wait few days for one game lols
If there are matches everday, a season might be too short...

It would be nice if you extended the player ID character limit up to 15 as well
Most of my players got their 'Mango' extensions cut off from their IDs :<
Sorry, 10 chars is really the limit for player IDs, it will mess up the whole site.

No more teams available :/
I will be deleting inactive accounts from time to time, for the moment just try out with the guest account.

At what time does their condition reset, and when does the training cycle reset? It would be nice if there was an indication of this on the site.
Really cool game btw.

I would love to help you out with this if I could get a team, I love this sort of game and would love to see it succeed.

If you can temporarily just use the guest account, I will clean up once I determine which accounts are inactive.

When things are settled down, I will put them on the site. Everything can change, but here's how it works now: At 00:00 server time the condition will recover by a little, if the player is not training, the condition will recover more. At the same time, player will gain skills if they are training.

This will make condition recover faster.
Practice at Battle.net
This would improve macro ability, attack and defense will have tiny effects as well.
Watch Replays
This would improve game sense, strategy and scouting ability will receive tiny effects.
Practice with another player
The player with lower skill will improve random skill, the player with higher skill receives tiny effect.
Practice with practice partner
This will improve micro ability, harassment will receive tiny effects as well. TODO: Perhaps add a "practice team" under your main team which consists of practice partners, they can improve skills by practicing with players and then get promoted to the main team eventually.
Work on build orders
This would improve strategy, attack and game sense will have tiny effects.
Play off-race against computer
This would improve scouting, defense and micro will have tiny effects. I'm always working on it and looking to add more features 
first off, awesome work dude.. the game looks awesome so far
Do you mind explaining what the last few traning things does?
Training on special micro maps: I guess this will improve the micro ofc..
Practice 1v2 against computers: what does this one do?
Practice keyboard skills: what does this one do?

Nice, thanks.
Although the wording of the effects I find to be quite ambiguous. It could be interpreted that practicing keyboard skill improves attack, as well as improving harassment and defense by a smaller amount. I guess it means that practicing keyboard skills will improve, by a small amount, attack, harassment and defense.

Ah well, practicing keyboard skills mainly improves attack; harassment and defense will receive small amount of effect. Uh, is the name not logical enough?

When you word it like that it's much easier to know immediately what you mean.
Before it was slightly ambiguous.

would it be possible to put the list of what training options do what in the game/site itself? its hard to remember what does what and kind of annoying to have to come back to TL for it.
also, there should be some method for a player's skill to decrease. otherwise, all players would just get kinda crazy good over time.

Yeah, I'm thinking about that but I can't find a nice place to put the details for the moment.
I would think about then when the game is more stabilized. Currently I'm still changing a lot of aspects in the game.

maybe you could do that kind of thing where you scroll your mouse over and it tells what it does.

Okay, when you select a training a description will appear below. If you don't see it, try shift+refresh.

Okay, because now the storage method for game commentaries have changed, I will need to replay every single match. Specific units will appear in the commentaries now, but the game outcome might be different. Also, the financial status will be updated every week from now on, I have temporarily fixed the sponsor income at $ 2,000.

my match for the 04-07 wasn't played, did that only happen for me or is something up?

I've reset your password, it's in your PM.
There's also now an in-game forum.
