Unaccepted friendly match tactics settings

tuways · Post by **tuways** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 12:33 am

I would like to ask for a feature that would make it possible to set the tactics for a friendly which hasn't been accepted yet. The best explanation is an example

: Today I wanted to play a friendly to raise the morale of my youth team and part of my 2nd team. So I made an invitation for the 22:00 o'clock simulation. But the other manger didn't login until short past 9 and I was already far away from my computer. He accepted and the game automatically set my team, and as a consequence, my 1st team played the game. The feature, which I think would be very useful, is to select the squad for the game even if the other player hasn't accepted the invitation. If he accepts the selected squad is used, if not... bad luck. But you can avoid situations like mine now. The only unknown "variable", tu put it (very) mathematically would be the strictness of the ref, which, in this case, isn't very important. So, how about it?

Greetings

Happened again today... Is there no possibility to avoid this?

Problem solved by the new Pool-function

Yes and no. Now I can choose the date which I will be playing, but if I set a friendly pool for a 22:00 simulation at 21:55, and then want to go out, I can't because if someone accepts my invitation my assistant will choose my best team, instead the youth team I would like to play. I want the possibility to SET the tactics for a game which hasn't been accepted yet.

EDIT: I'm not sure if everybody understands the feature I would like to have in the game...

I understand what you mean.

There is a little trick that will solve this problem but is not ideal: make your D-squad into your A-squad and vice versa.
Last-minute games wil then be played by the D-team, the 'bad' thing is that you have to set your D-team for league-games, and if you forget your D-team will play the league.

Some managers already use this method.

That isn't such a bad idea... But it is risky. And it could cost you a promotion or relegation. The "always-able-to-set-my-team-even-if-no-opponent-yet"-feature would solve this. Right?

That's right.

This feature would have been most useful, however with the addition of the friendly pool, all my friendlies are accepted normally within about 30mins.

tuways, when i make a friendly request for hour 22 for example and i'm not available (the request not yet accepted), i'm puting in the A selection the team that I want. In A selection there is no reason to put the A players (the main players) because the official games u know them from at least a week and you can set them up. so i use the A selection for these matches. Still the problem can apear when you are not available for two simulations and you have two unaccepted yet friendlies. But i guess this is two much of a coincidence.

and what if after the 22:00 simulation you cannot log in to select the team for the morning league simulation...and you have a very important game?

well ... I set the team for official games before. because that's the most important. that team is set all the time. sometimes a day before.
and if a A player gets hurt ... the Assistant manager will automatically replace him with one from my reserves.
