Season 4 - Moving to September

by **deerhaunter99** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:11

As this is a COMMUNITY as I've been told in the past, I believe that EVERYONE should be able to see this:

First round of the season and there's been a defwin already, there's a bunch of players who are missing and will miss a lot of the games over the summer, so why not have the season starting in September?? When everyone's online?

Of course people are going to say, "BUT THE SEASON'S ALREADY STARTED, WE CAN'T CHANGE IT NOW"

But I think we should postpone the season until September so everyone's online and avaliable.

https://feedmehaxball.forumotion.co.uk/t1936-should-the-season-start-earlier

LOOK at the votes. People didn't even want the season to be earlier than September... WHO ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THAT? Or did people who decided to push the season earlier, just do it for themselves? So much for a community it seems. We have voiced our opinion a month ago about the season and when it should take place and if I'm correct, the majority verdict (7) is the one used, not the vote with 4 people.

Inb4 I'm shouted at because I just want it for Arriba's gain, with me and Jonny missing a few weeks.

The fact is that it's not just Me and Jonny missing a few weeks, as for evidence, just look at the first round of games. A defwin already, that means that they couldn't even get 3 out of 7/8 players online to play 4v3. Where's the fun in that?

Also, take the hint that teams have wildcarded quite a few games and moved them into middle of August, now if there wasn't a two week limit I'm damn certain most teams would move it into September when everyone will be online.

2 things:

1) deliberately or not, but you're misinterpreting the results of the poll.

Should the season start earlier?

Yes, a couple of weeks earlier (mid-August)
6% [ 1 ]
Yes, a month earlier (late July/early August)
25% [ 4 ]
Yes + scrap the Summer Cup (early to mid July)
25% [ 4 ]
No
43% [ 7 ]

2) there's no reason to think that it's the move to an earlier date that's causing the problems, I've already told you that with 20 teams and limited squad sizes there are going to be difficulties with playing all of the games on time.

So, no, if there's something that needs to be changed, it's the roster limit.

by **Aidan** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:20

Agreed.

by **Girgensons** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:21

Also, the options in the poll are ridiculously biased and subjective, so automatically the results of the poll can't be taken seriously until they've been changed.

Just look at the amount of agrees compared to the ones not agreeing in this thread.

by Mick Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:26

This is way too late to bring this up now deer. Although I agree with you, tonnes of planning has already gone into this and everyone had a months notice before hand

I honestly think the draft is to blame for this. If you're a captain who has just been given a list of names and to choose 7 of those names at random, you may choose people that are inactive or bad without you knowing. I think that there should be a miniature bio of every player showing how active/good they are plus if there are any problems with them, so captains can choose based on that. This way, we don't get this happening.

by **Joehan** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:43

Or dev, captains could look into players and not be complete retards

by **Constantinople** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:46

Well can we make that one extra signing if this goes ahead that was planned when the season wss origionally being set to this date?

Tbh, I don't mind either way, whether the season is now or september.

Maybe for a premier league manager, but this is a league for an online flash game. You wouldn't be wanting to waste hours of your time looking into people for your club when you could be spending that time outside. Some people may have done, but that's them. I think it would just be easier to do what I said so as to cut down on errors.

by **Muddade** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:56

So a select few people spend ages researching players so captains don't have to...?

by **anglo** Sun 22 Jul 2012, 23:58

hahahahhaha this is a joke right? When u moved the league till july, we(Sparta) said: that isnt ok for us since many people in our squad would be gone, but u were like: oh thats life, sorry.

Now when your players arent turning up, it's suddenly megaimportant to move the league...

Hours?

It doesn't realy take 'hours' to scout players. Maybe an hour a day or so playing in rooms, trailling players etc. Tbf, captains should have a plan regarding who they want to sign pre draft etc. but I understand thats hard for the latter rounds when the more inactive players havent been picked.

And who goes outside these days? Very Happy

Poll options a bit biased, don't you think?

So you don't think captains have time to scout players...but that some poor bastard should write out a bio for everyone?

by **deerhaunter99** Mon 23 Jul 2012, 00:51

Anglo I hope you aren't having a dig at me, as I never wanted the league to take place earlier than September.

by **gavin peacock** Mon 23 Jul 2012, 00:53

this poll is biased smh should just be yes or no, did you not learn anything from school

by echsehh Mon 23 Jul 2012, 01:40

I dont see a reason to postpone this.. even if its summer its not hard to play sunday evening and maybe thurs (with 7 ppl in the team)

also the start of season 4 was announced pretty early and i havent seen many complaints

but i dont really care tbh, if the majority wants this delayed to september so be it

Looks like we have a volunteer! Smile

But honestly, this is a community as deer said. We can do things together, not just with 1 person. We could have 20-30 people work on it, then it would be easy and wouldn't take too much time.

So you're proposing to do it exactly like it's done now then, ye?

Wp.

by **Joehan** Mon 23 Jul 2012, 03:02

Devin, back to your original point: if a captain doesn't have the time to see if a player is active and maybe check them out to see if they're decent, they shouldn't be a captain.

by **Aidan** Mon 23 Jul 2012, 04:07

i couldnt be arsed to check if people were active or not still won the charity cup snm cant argue with charity cup champs
