There is a plan to add scrimmages, basically games within your team, offense vs defense. Those games don't produce any public accessible stats (only you can see them), nor do they add or remove anything from EXP/PC/...and of course there is no income from them. A manager might play as many scrimmages as he/she likes - as long there is no game scheduled. Playbooks, DC and so on are available for each side of the line.

Scrimmages consume credits, while Supporters pay 2 Credits per Scrimmage, Non-Supporters pay 4 Credits per Scrimmage.

To keep the implementation at a fair level for me, I would like to present some downsides...

1.) It might happen, that Mister X (QB) gets sacked by Mister X (DE). Might happen on ingame injuries combined with bad/flat rosters and DCs.

2.) The Offense is playing the 4 downs, and then switching the side - from Your Hometeam to Your Awayteam. This makes it easier for me to reuse the current engine.

3.) Scrimmages consume much more database load since we have to double rosters, playbooks, tactics and so on. This is why Scrimmages and the resulting statistic is only available for a very very short time, some days after the kickoff we will delete them from the database without any chance to export/keep them.


So finally, please answer the poll above. If you want to discuss, just open a new discussion in the discussion board - this topic here is for voting and updates on the Scrimmage thing only

This time I don't care about the majorities opinion , and make a XMas gift to myself


Edit: Just to point out a difference: I changed the costs to 5 Credits, and there are no limitations as the mentioned "we will kill the statistic"...
