and 100 Dinera, if you really wanted to "enhance" the game, you might want to make GK abilities a bit different from outfield players, like in real life and other better football games. I would think that would be more important to gameplay than auto-assign.

and if you want to make it more realistic, try taking away the health, condition, morale packs? Other football games dont employ such wizardry/voodoo methods....a player is injured, you wait until they are better, just like in real life.

Just be honest: this auto-assign crap was unnecessary and only done to make it harder for people to tank so you can eke out a few more tokens. If you actually came out and said that, people would be a bit more understanding - they would still say what they are saying, but at least you would look honest.
