Ontopic: I do not think this will be implemented, but I do not think it is a terrible idea.

Offtopic: *Clears throat* Get ontopic.

This option should be the number one choice for games against huge underdogs, like bots in cup games or newbies that recently joined the game.

This would allow the underdogs to score a decent amount of points, instead of getting slaughtered and losing with like -50 to -70 points.


I don't think its necessary. When you are playing these bots/newbie teams, you will usually play your 7-12/13th man and end up winning by like 20-30 points. Its rather silly to play a full strength side to win by 50-70 points.

I play two new teams and one bot (cup) this week, so two blowouts are inevitable. I think that would be standard in many small countries.

Slaughtering weak teams makes sense if you want to build a big point differential and get your players ranked higher in the league leaderboards.

However I would prefer to give the underdog a break and beat them with a result that makes them think they are not that far away from beating me, then they really are.

but those newbies would see how superior you are and play the same effort, or get slaugthered by there league college who know about it.

Newbies always play normal. Never seen them play CT or TIE

so the advantage team with close to their quality have, who know a bit more about the game get even bigger that they get slaugthered in league like i said? Even when not all play normal.

Also the advantage of forfeiting games, and getting bot in cup would get much bigger.

Edit: i forgot super tie agreements.

Did I say anything about a higher enthusiasm gain?

Only bonus I suggested was a short term merchandise bonus, no additional enthusiasm.

Super tie? What would that be? Imagine what the fan reaction would be if your team played with no effort in defense and losing. As I said this should be some newbie protection/anti blowout measure that would give financial rewards for lower point differential.

Whats your intention here? Why do you needle me with such stupid and unnecessary comments?

Small, short term merchandise bonus. How much would that be? I make 40k merchandise in my league, if i got a small bonus (10% or so) for like one week, do you think that would make me that much stronger?

At the same time I pay salaries much higher than necessary to beat a much weaker team. That contradicts your whole point.

Nice trollin Mr. GM.

so either it is useless, and there is no desire to make it or you gain an advantage from it.
