CPU Games No More....Time for Substitute Players

Instead of continuing the old thread, I'm going to create this new one, because of the new element...

I'd suggest that instead of awarding people with CPU games, that we start using substitute players.
There are enough MG members online, all the time, that we can do this.

There are 2 ways to do it.

1) You have assigned subs. You contact the assigned subs for each league, and they play the CPU game that your opponent misses.
2) Its random. Sometimes you might get me, other times you might get CP, Jmo, or FF... who knows. Whoever is online, and answers the call.


No more drama.
No more whining about SIM injuries being too high a percentage.
You get to play a LIVE PERSON....which is why you all say you are in these leagues.
And If you say you don't have time to play a sub game, then you didn't have time to play the Real game to begin with, and you should just SIM the entire game....

What do you think?

I like it

works for me.
seems troublesome from a practical standpoint, but it sounds to me like Shane is volunteering to run this sub program. so no worries

why should i play some1 other than the player i was schedule to play? are they gonna be the same skill level?

I dont jerk around restartn CPU games... I play my game - and take my injuries...

Perhaps - u could make this idea work by you get 1 chance to play the CPU game - but any start after the 1st has to be played vs a substitute player - i could live with that - because it wouldnt effect me - it only would effect guys who gratuitously restart CPU games because they get an injury...

Great Idea. I like it.

i dont like it.. bc i feel if i waited the 32 hrs to play my gm and my opponent has been to busy to get the gm in then i should be awarded the cpu gm... and not have to sit there and wait on day 2.. the day before the advance to see which random mg member i have to play.. when i derserve the cpu bc i was actually trying to contact my opponent and get the gm in and he was no where to be found or on this advancement had other stuff to do... next madden this yr is just way out of hand how they made injuries to players.. bc it always seems every other gm there is an player getting hurt with an stupid injury and being out an long time.. so i think its an great idea to turn off injuries for that gm so that the person who couldnt make the gm this advancement dont get injuries they dont deserve..

with the whole sub another mg member.. i would rather just sim the gm and possibly get the W or L and it be 50/50 then have to possibly play the same people over and over. when there is an sub gm.. like everyone in the mg has people they dont like facing.. as do i.. so if the sub player is an person i dont like bc of the way he plays or just bc of something else that happened else then i would just let the gm be simmed..

finally i again think we are trying to hard to make to many rules... if u want to put an thing on restarts against the cpu fine.. make it like 2.. if u want to have people stop crying bc injuries get turned off during cpu bc its the right thing to do then fine.. live them on so people stop crying.. but i wouldnt eliminate cpu gms... and do random mg members being fill ins...

+1 my point exactly.. just make restarts against the like 1 or 2...

i thought there was only one person complaining about it? i really don't care either way, i'd much rather play a human opp than the cpu so i like the idea personally.

ok i over exaggerate.. on saying people...

Thats a pretty weak argument. The point is to play a live person, and avoid CPU games. Which is why we are all here. Since the subs could be random people, you never know who you'd see. How would it be any different than you being matched up against them in a league game that was schedule? It is what it is. Maybe the random member sub is the way to go, so u don't face the same person over and over.
