Default Lineup Just For Scrimmages

What: Add a default lineup just for scrimmages.

Why: Mainly so that starters don't have their game shape ruined during meaningless scrimmages. When a user is unable to set a lineup. Be it due to a non-functioning website, or real life emergency.


I can't imagine why anyone would argue against this, but someone probably will!

So the website has been borderline non-functional this week, at the worst possible time (the start of the playoffs / relegation). Logging in took literal minutes, as well as individual page loads. If the pages would load at all & didn't return an error message instead. There really should have been a way to have a default lineup for scrimmages, in case the website is unresponsive or even real life emergency. This is a possible season destroyer.

Just wanted to add, I can't even set a lineup for my next game right now! I've tried repeatedly but keep getting an error page. See, things like this is why I made my suggestion. There really needs to be some kind of fail-safe.

I think this is a great suggestion. We can not be on hold browsing the site 24h. Sometimes you might have a 15 min window to set up a lineup during the day (work, family issues for example) and then the site is slow and you get error messages due timeout etc.

I've had this happen this week too.
Try adding 1 player to lineup, saving.
Add another, saving.

I have luck this way.

(How do I get rewarded? OT game ruining starter minutes before playoffs. Thanks game)
