Preview Article: Fixing Friendlies

[Patrick Hannigan]

Hi all, just joined forum to say thanks for proposed changes

3 hour interval between matches = brilliant

Friendlies maybe just impose a time limit instead(like when changing home fixtures) so you can't arrange one less than 24 hours from current time, this should give plenty of time for players to cancel and probably be easier to implement?

[Pranav Mehandru]

great idea but mutual agreement between both teams is must as well

[VMan Impaler]

Agree with July Fourth, should be handshake or mutual agreement

[Bee Caas]

there mustn't be any kind of injuries in friendlies.

The 3 hour window would be good and a step forward, but would be better if it had to be by mutual consent so the 3 window wouldn't be needed and then players can make a choice to play or reject

Great news at last - had too many saboteurs ruining the game! Like all of my friends and others on the forum are suggesting if you can ensure that both players have to accept it you can avoid any further aggravation.

Thanks for sorting this one major issue out!

Introduce very fast! Please!! I have time for my games at intervals of 30 minutes. This sucks!!

[Matthew Soderling]

Why don't you just make it so all friendlies have to be accepted and agreed to on both ends before they are played. I hate the idea of my players playing and ruining my system with out me being able to make adjustments. I want to play friendlies but I want to know about them and select which players I want to use in the friendly. Because of this I just don't have any friends. It is to big of a risk. I don't think this solves the friendly problem (however it makes it better) It does solve the problem of having games to close together so thanks for that.

FIXING FRIENDLIES - RECOMMENDATIONS

I would suggest the following decision: Give each manager the option to turn ON or OFF the requests for friendlies.
If a manager does not want to play friendlies he turns the option OFF and all requests are automatically denied.
If the manager accepts friendlies he turns the option ON.
