In my last game I won by default because my opponent is inactive. Fair enough. But in any game you count the total minutes all your players played and it's 240 (48 x 5). You count up mine in the last game and it's only 210. I got robbed of 30 minutes of playing just because my opponent is inactive! This screws up my whole training regime because my center was supposed to get 48 minutes. So why did this happen? And if it's just some kind of bug, should I go to the suggestion forums and ask them to correct it for future forfeits and/or should I complain to one of the bb's?

This isn't a bug. It's just what happens to the players in a walkover. The starters automatically get 36 minutes, while the backups get 10. If the backup is also put at reserve, then they receive 12 minutes. If a different player is set at reserve, they receive 2 minutes.

The BBs have already changed the score to 50-0, in favor of the team that dressed at least 3 players. Hope this clears up things.

Then let's say someone just put 5 players though with no backups or reserves, wanting them to play 48 minutes. It doesn't make sense for them all to receive 36 minutes. Who took up those extra 12 minutes for each position?? Noone. It just seems illogical. What I'm saying is if the manager has left the bench blank those minutes should not go to waste in a forfeit. It should be considered in the same way as if you put that one guy as a starter, a back up and a reserve all at once.

I'm aware there is nothing to be done for this game, hence I'm dealing with it. But why not make some improvements for the future. Also, I didn't even get 43 minutes for the players who were in a position by themselves so...

And by the way, I would've gladly lost 50-0 if it meant I would get my center the 48 minutes. Anyway, I don't mean to sound like I'm whining, it just seems you and the other canadian fellow who responded sounded a bit indifferent. I'm not saying to make a change for my game, I understand that's impossible, but why not make the change in the future to benefit everyone from people who are inactive.

Exactly, thank you. I was beginning to worry people didn't care about this. Do you think I should post this on the suggestion forum? Or is it a lost cause?
