World of chel - player substitutes

Is it possible to consider to add player subsitutes in world of chel? I mean if you play 4vs4 or 6vs6 game mode that you may add more players before start and they also can join in game, but they will start at the bench. And you can make player changes by skating towards benches. That would be pretty fun and add more tactical feature to game and you dont have to leave players outside.

    Hello, @smirbaa 

    This has been requested occasionally for many years. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. Games would have to be a lot longer in order to give everyone equal time to play. Most people don't want to play lengthy games as well. They also don't enjoy sitting on the bench watching everyone else play. So, I'm not optimistic this would happen, but the dev team is aware of these requests. Thanks for the input!

    quite a large part of the EASHL community are clubs. On a game day, from six to ten players come to play (with us).
    Six are playing, the rest are watching the screen.

    1. We have gorgeous cameras in the game - a real broadcast. Instead of watching the screen, it's cooler to watch the game from the game. (maybe it can be done by spectator mode)

    2. Be able to go out on the ice if you disconnect a partner.

    3. Replacements are really interesting.

    Many people play tournament games. For tournament games, this is a really cool and important feature. there is not even a need to discuss

    Many tournament games are played with a commentator.
    To be able to comment from a convenient camera is another level of development of the esports part. (the game looks so great from the real broadcast camera, but it's so unusual to play on it.
    The entertainment of the game would be cooler)

    Spectator - really solves this moment as well
