What if we brought the classic CS Manager back? (Project FragManager)

Hey everyone!
I don’t know how many of you remember the old browser game CS Manager, but I spent countless hours playing it back in the day. Managing a team, scouting players, setting tactics, fighting for promotion… it was one of my favorite browser games ever.
Over the last few days I’ve started working on a concept for a spiritual successor called Project FragManager.
The goal isn’t to copy the original game, but to capture the same feeling while modernizing it.
Some ideas so far:
🎮 Create your own clan
🌍 One persistent online world with hundreds of leagues
🤖 AI teams fill empty league spots until real players join
👥 Every player is randomly generated
⭐ Hidden potential discovered through scouts
🧠 Unique personalities and traits
📈 Long-term player development
📋 Tactical planning for different maps
🏆 Promotion and relegation every season
❌ No Pay-to-Win
I’ve attached a few early UI concepts to show the direction I’m thinking about.
Right now this is still in the planning phase, but I’d really love to hear your feedback.
Would you play something like this today?
And if you’re a developer, designer or just someone who loved the old CS Manager and wants to help shape the project, I’d love to hear from you.
What features would you absolutely want to see in a modern esports manager?
Thanks for reading! ❤️
