Friendly Arranged & Played Whilst I was Offline Today!?!
Q: Why, when a friendly invite is sent by a manager, is it the responsibility of the recipient of the invite to cancel the game if they don't wish to play it? :mad:
I arrived home this evening, expecting to find my players all well rested... only to find that they were fatigued after playing a friendly I had no knowledge of??? Then, in my news area this afternoon, I find a notification that I had received the invite at 15:31 and the friendly was played 4 minutes later at 15:35... :confused:
My gripe is on several counts!
* I was not on line to consent to the friendly! :mad:
* Why are friendlies automatically played without the consent of the recipient? :mad:
* I used tokens for rests after our league match at 13:11 today, so my players were fine for our next match!!! :(
* Expecting to see my players at 99% for a CL Final at 16:33, I get in to find they are all fatigued again!!! :mad:
If I am honest, I expected to lose the CL final, because our opponents had a quality field, so the 1-0 wasn't totally unexpected. However, this begs the question... what would have happened if my players were well rested as they should have been!?!
This is my first gripe against TopEleven, which has otherwise provided hours of fun for me. Now though, it is nothing more than a huge disappointment. Whilst my team is not the best out there and we were the underdogs tonight. I feel cheated by the manner in which the friendly was arranged only an hour before the big game and I had no say in the matter!!!
I have logged in every day since I started playing back in October, often returning to play several times a day. I have spent money boosting the team, especially today, to give us every chance of a big prize... only to find that I have been disadvantaged due to the way the game is set up. Well, not any more!
If this is the outcome of a season's hard work, then you might as well count me out, because the last 28 days have been completely spoilt by this one action... it seems to me that this is a loophole being exploited by clever managers at the expense of those who may not be at the top of their game, but enjoy playing for the challenge, none the less.
Thanks a lot TopEleven... for nothing that is! :(
