Top of the board01One login, four sports. PowerPlay Manager lets you run hockey, football, handball and basketball clubs on a shared engine: pick players and tactics, set the line-up, organize practice, then build the arena and balance the books. Matches play out in a live broadcast. It asks little of your computer and rewards steady, unhurried planning.
Purest hockey02Hockey Arena plays a game every day and runs an unrestricted free-agent system where the quickest manager signs the player. The interface is deliberately simple: line-up, training, ticket prices, sponsors and the arena. Leagues are organized by country, and the rules on inactivity are strict, so this one rewards a daily habit more than any other on the shelf.
Old-school depth03Launched in 2001, ManagerZone is one of the oldest web-based manager MMOs, running football and hockey. You handle the economy, drafting and training, grow a home stadium with clinics, restaurants and shops, study rivals by watching their games, and can even stand for national coach. It suits ten minutes a day or ten hours, as the operator says.
Hoops pick04BuzzerBeater puts you in charge of a basketball franchise in a sixteen-team league. Pick starters, backups and reserves, choose an offence and a defence for each opponent, then watch it play out in a live gamecast. Buy, sell, draft and train players, build a bigger arena, and climb towards Division 1. It is free, with a mobile app too.
Race-day thrill05iGP Manager is a motorsport team-management game of real multiplayer leagues and 3D races.

Free on browser, Android and iOS, from iGP Games in London, and live since 2011.
Quickest kick-off06Online Soccer Manager hands you a real club from real leagues, then lets you set the formation and tactics, work the transfer market, scout talent and expand the stadium.
