Subject: Suggestions

I think it would be appreciated if all scheduled friendlies on the days where the League Cup is played are cancelled as soon as it is known who will participate in the League cup.

But every one knows that top 16 participate in League Cup and which days r the friendlies....

Though i agree with your suggestion, it would be easier for all of us...

For those teams that do NOT participate in the League Cup it would make it much easier replacing the friendlies that are cancelled because their scheduled opponents do participate.
These teams are already getting lower OTR because they cannot participate and in addition to that their friendlies are cancelled one day in advance if they do not check the ranking of each of their opponents beforehand...

I don't know where to post this:

I think there is something wrong with the OTR bonus for promoted team.

I have never been promoted but I always have a "not so bad" ranking in my league.
My OTR is still 30 points less than the average OTR of my league ... even after a season finished 6th...

I think that the OTR bonus is too high and penalize teams which are not promoted ...
I'm going to have "bad" sponsors offers and a worst position for the cup compared to the last year promoted teams ...

I think that this bonus can be slightly decreased...

I can add that my team is 580th in team strengh ranking but 4902th in OTR ...
I know I'm not the best manager in PPM but I think there is something wrong here!

PS: Sorry for my bad english!

to allow players on bench to be set for penalty, free and corner kicks, as we have more slots

Just a note to let you know the adjustments you made to extreme defenses seems to be working just fine. I played the club that employed this non-football tactic last season. Sure enough he tried it again, but the match results this time truly reflected the abilities of the players and given tactics.

While the answer isnt perfect you have done a very good job in combating an ugly situation. Hopefully in the seasons to come you can find a way to eliminate non-football formations and ideas like using 5 or 6 central defenders in front of the goalie. Until then Im happy that non-football formations are at least not going to ruin this excellent game.

i think it would be great if managers could have possibility to divide players into groups.
for example, manager could create some groups and add players into that groups, so in players view it would look something like this:

i think that would be very useful, especially in training view.

I agree with that. Also maybe to be able to sort them in groups by position.

or at least, in players view divide players by position, so we have some blank space between goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers.
ofcourse, that would be possible for pro managers only because they have possibility to define players position...

Agree!

Maybe the league cup could be played in-season. It could be played on the date used for the national cup. After 9 weeks 511/512 of teams will have been eliminated from the national cup. You could have 1st round to reduced 22 to 16 teams, who would play the following 4 weeks. The 6 teams that lose in the preliminary round could play in two mini-groups of 3, over the next 3 weeks (each team would play 2 of the 3 weeks), and then a final placement match.

It would be nice if we could loan a number of players during the season....

I agree, however loaning players is a really difficult thing to program as can very easily be used by teams to cheat the system.

Also, loaning would have to be beneficial for both involved teams, and in PPM I simply dont see how both teams would benefit on it
