You can't set a scrimmage though without logging in. If you are planning to just put out like max number of offers on Sat. and hopes someone bites that might work.

i think he don't want automatic scrimmage, but lets say you challenge your scrimmages and you aren't online anymore when one is accepted. And for this case he likes to makes his lineup before.

What you are suggesting is a solution, a viable one, but not very practical.
My problem is I can log in from my phone however i cant edit the lineups and other java script options. I can accept/reject a SC, I can browse the website but it is like a "Read Me" page. My suggestion will enable me to pre-plan my lineups before hand and at the same time every other manager will know what kind of matches he's awaiting. It is not hard to implement and it is not a damaging, game changing idea'; it is only cosmetics to the game.

I understand what you are saying but his suggestion is a good one. You can set your league lineups many weeks in advance and if nothing goes wrong then you can leave them. For the scrimmages I tend to have a very similar lineup, 3 backup players who need more minutes for GS and 2 trainees who want 48+ for training. You could just make this your standard lineup as suggested, then as long as everything goes according to plan during the week you can leave it and that is what will happen in the scrimmage. I can't see how that is much different from setting your scrimmage lineup for a specific game you haven't booked yet a week in advance anyway.

also for this po match it would be intresting, especially for teams who have no scrimmage yet(or don't want one).

Your games are just a list. It should be relatively easy to sort in a number of ways. You should be able to specify more than one season or even them all. Just show league games. Just show cup games. Just show private league games. Just show playoff games etc. It is just a sort feature and should be trivial to code. As always I guess it comes down to priorities. Would we rather the BBs be working on this or something else?

And before, as usual, everyone hacks on me and says, "don't you go saying what is easy and hard to code, you know nothing," I have taught IT and two of my best friends (I had dinner with them last night and we have written a computer game together) are computer programmers. I spent months discussing what sort of things are "trivial" and what sort of things are "brutal". They are both fairly high level too, having lectured at university, worked internationally including rather good companies like NASA, and both earning around the $200,000 PA mark.
