Guess I'm a casual player; losing the will to keep going with all the injuries, unreliable rookies and, having to monitor my team all weekend because of the team announcements and medical subs. I don't think I have had a full strength team in any round as of yet.
Making it really hard to play if you live on the other side of the world too. Would love a hard lockout.

Yeah as someone who has done it, it's brutal. I'd love to say it's the reason I've been so bad at loopholes but I think I've been even worse this year and last when I had nothing else to do but loopholes :LOL:

think the balance of fun and work has gone more towards work. Think a shocking injury run makes it look worse which can’t be helped. The biggest fun killer is the rolling teams.
Perhaps SC can add a new selection for our teams, a 'Sub', that might help.
- One 'Sub' is selected from the leftover Bench players after the 'Emerg' players have been selected. This 'Sub" player can replace one donut in any position.

I think thats a great idea, but i feel for this year we might need more than a sub? maybe extra trades again?

Nup, donuts are part of the game.
The game continues to get easier in terms of levelling the playing field, I'd rather go back to 1st game full lock-out, trades before 1st game, no loopholes for subs or VC/C. S

Set and forget on Friday and enjoy the football. Although the new team sheet release timings make this difficult.

SC has the 'Classic' and 'Draft' games, why not add a 'Set and Forget' as well, if it is going to help them to get more Coaches.

I actually reckon an "injury" sub could be cool where you can replace an injured player during the weekend.

I also would love if they'd implement the system you can use on ultimate footy where if a player plays less than 10% (or whatever it is) game time then the emergency replaces them.

Both help deal with the luck factor of injuries, especially early injuries. You still cop the price change related issues, just means you get a chance in the event of injury.

Be interesting to see if they could design an Injured Reserve system as well for when a premium gets a long term injury to have some way to not have to trade them but be able to replace them. Say for example you have Neale and he's out 8 weeks, you can pick anyone his value or lower to replace him for those 8 weeks and then after 8 weeks or whenever Neale returns, whichever is longer, you can then replace any player that is Neale's price or higher with Neale or something like that :LOL:

I couldn't imagine playing Supercoach from overseas this season, especially from a completely different time zone. I actually rage quitted NBA Fantasy back in February because I couldn't be stuffed keeping up with all the late changes and postponements associated with COVID.

It's really hard to find anyone who is a fan of rolling teams in 2021 ... except maybe the clubs.
