@ken/wolph - I don't think anyone could declare HT to be "lame" or "worse" than BB in any way, shape or form. You may like basketball more, and that will definitely have an impact (I absolutely enjoy basketball more). But there's a huge difference between "not liking soccer and that equating over into the browser game", and calling it "lame" or saying it's bad. Obviously given the people involved in the two - that'd be an incorrect assertion to make.
The game itself is way, way more developed, has far more options and you have far greater control. Add to that, if you play any significant length of time, you'll note that the devs are far more involved in bettering the game and sustaining a balanced game. As YC (?) said, it's like comparing checkers to chess. Even the aesthetics are more involved: I love the option of being able to develop a team uniform.
I've just raised my first coach from my team, and opened a Youth Academy. I'm battling to stay up in div IV, and planning how to be competitive in this league.
I'm not a soccer fan per se, but there are very few parallels between the management aspect of the two games, or the competitiveness of each.
