Sub increase
Have you all imagined how real it will look if IAG changes substitutions allowed in a match from 3 to the normal 5.
The bench could be increased to 7, 8 or 9 as it pleases IAG.
I would be happy if this changes are seen next season.
Anyone is free to counter, criticize or support this suggestion but it should be a friendly debate as ethics demands.

JEPCO.

The problem is that what mirrors real life isn't always what's best for a game's mechanics or balance. There is a school of thought that says that making substitutes can actually be detrimental to your team's performance in IAG as well, rather than beneficial. Is it worth making a change that might not even be used by many managers? What if bugs arise as a result of such a change, as happened when the youth academy changes were made?

This would also require some significant coding changes, which we very rarely get any of as it is, unfortunately.

I can't see it happening, but the suggestion is appreciated, I'm sure.


We'd all be happy if the game was changed according to what we wanted, but we have to consider that it's not a democracy. The bosses will make changes as they see fit, not as we do, I'm afraid!

Well i Don't see any reason why there would be such objections from managers like they did after the youth academy changes were made. The beauty of the game is the reality it tends to bring. If the changes are made in a way that managers who Don't want to make up to five subs in a match can use their normal three, it would be better. Afterall not every manager makes up to five subs in real football. Some may even decide to make only two in a match. The changes i'm appealing for is just to make the game look more real and increase the fun aspect.

This has been looked into before Jepco.

Unfortunately, the developer, RonManager, just doesn't have the time to be implementing major changes to the game. The last time he considered increasing subs number, he concluded that there were so many interactions with other parts of the game he just couldn't do it. And as Firesilver says, there would probablybe loads of bugs that hadn't been thought about creating more work in tracing and fixing.

So, in short, no, there won't be any changes to the number of subs allowed.

I understand the restrictions around developments.

I would like to see more options for the current number. At present, you have to choose "Drawing", "Winning by 1" or "Winning by more than 1".

I'd quite like a "Winning by 1 or more". which would save me using two options to bring a player on as long as I'm winning.

Edit to this: Or losing of course.
