uGP is still in beta stages they maybe have gave up on it. It doesn't work with 64bit browsers have to use a 32bit otherwise in-game text doesn't show up.
They have some nice ideas but here I still think is better where you can select suppliers.
Combination of the two selecting suppliers & researching new upgrade parts under the suppliers name would be nice each supplier would have different upgrade path on offer to get the same results.
On the down side that would be lots and lots of code writing and testing for you guys :(
Trust me James on this one thing.. uGP will have several big big changes by this time next year..
I have been playing Goal United for over 2 years and I know what the company is like and I also know that it is far from dead..
They have just changed the half time report in Goal United that now gives a direct link to the game.. There are way over 250.000 players on GU that they are hitting with this advert and it's only been on for the past 2 weeks..
They are changing the whole of Goal United around and it's Goal Next.. Looks a lot like FIFA.. Also the contracts they have with teams from all over the world.. Arsenal, Chelski, Man City, Milan and Madrid just to name a few and then there is all the top German sides because they are a German Company.
I warned iGP about it as soon as I knew that they was moving in to the F1 market because they have money... a decent size team of staff and the one big thing 100.000's of managers all over the world.
I love iGP.. Hence why I have been here for over 3 yrs.. but this is a big big warning.. uGP once it starts.. It will snowball. :(
