Friends List Request for PT 22

Stanley Kuppchaser · 01-01-2021, 09:13 AM

I would really love to see a Friends List option in PT that would allow 30 like-minded PT players to occupy the same league and stay together without being subject to promotion or relegation. That is, a Friends List where the teams stay together week-to-week. I believe this would allow groups of players to voluntary streamline their rosters and avoid the copycat rosters that proliferate in PT. Some of us just want to carve out our little niche, and not necessarily chase the big dogs.

Also, what is the reason for the horrible scheduling that sees two teams play 10 or more games in a month? It really detracts from the realism.

I am not sure this would be a great idea. I could see some of the less honest players here creating a league and manipulating the teams so that their primary team racks up the PP. I like the randomness of PT. Also, The game is pretty good about joining up friends in the same level if that is set already.

The relegation and promotion does need fixed. It not only puts friends together but it places groups of friends in the same pot with other groups of friends. Our group is 3 teams but the algorithm puts us with BFF, OL, etc. That is not random for our group. It puts us in with a large group of playing LH Cheese teams. That is not our group style and it puts our teams behind the 8 ball from the start. It is very difficult when a normal team is placed in a league with many LH Cheese teams. It makes road victories unreasonably hard as a whole.

We do not mind taking our turns in leagues with our friends from those groups. We were once part of OL. It is unfair to us and other small groups that get placed thus over and over though.

The 30-team schedule is exactly what is used in real life. It is very realistic.

I'm guessing you're kidding, right?
