Suggestion: Allow Commissioners to Enter Custom Scores and Select Game Stage
Hello!
Thank you for the Connected Franchise mode. It is very interesting and has a lot of potential.
Our community already has a list of suggestions for new features. I will probably post it later. In this topic, I would like to suggest only one feature: the ability for the commissioner to manually add the game result and choose how the game ended — in regulation time or in overtime.
In the current version, the commissioner can add a result, but only as a 1:0 score. This is not always enough. Below are a few examples where a 1:0 technical result does not solve the problem.
Example 1
MTL vs NYR. Score: 2:2.
Regulation time ends, overtime starts, and then there is a lost connection. Because of this, the game result is not added to the standings.
If the players restart the game and play until the first goal, and then the commissioner adds the result manually, it still does not show that the game ended in overtime. Because of this, the points in the standings can be wrong, and the league table can also be sorted incorrectly.
Example 2
MTL vs NYR. Score: 10:2.
The third period starts. NYR is tilted and wants to leave the game, but both players want to keep this score. If NYR leaves the match, the result will not be added to the standings. The commissioner can only add a 1:0 result.
This can also affect the standings, because MTL should have more goals scored and a better goal difference.
There is one possible workaround, but it is not good for everyone and not always possible. If there is a random lost connection, players can try to recreate the match. For example, in Example 1, they can make the score 2:2 again, wait until overtime starts, and then play seriously. But this is not a real solution, because it takes valuable time that players could spend playing other league games.
So my main and most urgent suggestion for Connected Franchise is:
Please give the commissioner a tool to manually add the game score and choose the game ending type — regulation time or overtime.
Thank you!
