I mean i know in football that you're supposed to lose and all so when i lose i try not to get too passionate especially as it's just a game but if you look at most games out there, it's the players whose are most active that are superior. Now ik they try to make it fair for everyone so they still give inactive managers a chance but it shouldn't happen so frequently. Wins and losses should be determined based on a players choices both before and during a game. If you decide to do something that counters the absent managers tactics, there is no way that it shouldn't work (unless for some reason you're having a bad day). Results shouldn't be decided before the game has begun. There should be some mechanism that leaves it open for if players are present and if not then the predetermined result can stand(some may disagree).
