whats everybodys view on this a lot have asked for it as seasons would finish in half the time which saves it dragging out if your team is going nowhere keeps the interest and extra funds for ben as a game would have nearly 4 seasons a year.
some might not fill they have the time but a lot of managers do 3 or 4 teams over 2 or 3 games so just interested.

Obviously it is down to the UE gods, but I'd be up for this!

Very much against as I work shifts so i squeeze in turns around them as it is, if it did happen I would also have to drop all my teams in 120 to make time for it and that would hit Ben in the pocket

I am against it too. I lose everyweek and can't bare to see me losing 2 games in a row in a week. Due to either had a bad game and lose or the other team player have a bad game and they still win.

I would love it, certainly would give it a go however i think we are underestimating how quick and how much work this will be.

But would be up for it yeah.

I'd be up for it but it would have to be a 'gimmicky' game I think, the one season shootout etc as previously mentioned. Quickfire turns mean quickfire deals etc and that only suits certain managers

No no no no no

Sometimes can't be bothered to send one turn, never mind two.
Don't want to pay double the money.
Double the work for Ben
Double the complaints, they're bad enough already

This would only suit a certain percentage of managers yet would require time for Ben to set up, meaning a lot of work for a game that potentially rules out a lot of people.

I would never get involved in a game like this. It's an unnecessary change.

But If Ben goes ahead with the idea then good luck

It is not something that I would join simply because I take so long to do everything - a tortoise in a hare's race. I would be pleased to see such a game launched because the deal-happy members of the UE community would love it.

Not for me, but I would like an EFG along side a HFG (of one two come out a few weeks later) so you can one for serious play and another for getting the dealing out of your system lol.

this seems a strange comment from somebody that spends a lot of there time on whatsapp :D 15 mins entering a mds should not be a problem, most people are sending pms and trying to deal all week anyway so if its one or two turns that wont change
Don't want to pay double the money.
a season would probably last 3 month so payments would come quicker but a lot of managers seem to run more than one team so cash does not seem the problem
Double the work for Ben
double the profit for that game worst case just run the two turn game on say a monday and thursday with a max of two other games on a tuesday ,ben can have wed and friday off.. :D
Double the complaints, they're bad enough already
never gonna stop people complaining guess players need to just grow up ,it does bug me when people email ben just because they have lost a game ,if theres an obvious mistake fine but thats it

This would only suit a certain percentage of managers yet would require time for Ben to set up, meaning a lot of work for a game that potentially rules out a lot of people.
its a normal game just run twice a week so would be interested to hear from ben how this would take extra time to set up,i work long hours and when i get home have kids to look after yet 15 mins on a sunday morning is all it takes to imput the turn

I would never get involved in a game like this. It's an unnecessary change.
i think you would and you would like it the main reason why people quit is because they cant get there team to progress ,playing two turns would see your players get better quicker hopefully improving a players chances of winning something and if your season is crap its over quicker ,nothing worse than being midtable for 5 months just waiting for next season to start

But If Ben goes ahead with the idea then good luck

I'll try reply on a point by point basis

1. WhatsApp is my phone, it's much more convenient than sending a turn, nothing strange about it. This comment appears a little judgemental.

2. Cash is always the problem, sometimes I'm flush, sometimes I'm not. With a two turn week you must always pay or get booted.

3. I agree it would be profitable for Ben if it's supported.

4. Can't disagree with this one, many complaints

5. I don't send my turns every week as is.

6. Are you seriously telling me what I would and wouldn't enjoy? Just to be clear, I will never get involved with a two turn week as I wouldn't enjoy it.

I spend hours submitting one MDS a week, if I committed to two my Mrs would probably divorce me.

It seems a popular idea though, so could be worth Ben testing the water on this.

Don’t like the idea, imagine a 2 week holiday and you can send turn that’s 4 turns you could miss, even a week holiday is still hard enough. I don’t have the time to sit and do 2 mds returns a week, it would take the excitement out for your turn arriving also

Personally its not for me, but can understand some people wanting it. If Ben does try it out in another game and its a success would, still hope the HFG games would be once a week.

Without wanting to come across like a d*** I noticed a few post 'i don't this' and 'I don't that' when shouldn't we be generalizing the opinion on what would be good for the game and not individual?

If 'you' don't like it, you don't join, i don't see it being fair slating and criticizing the concept based on an individuals dislike in hope it doesn't get the green light.

It seems when some don't like an idea, they want to stop it happen rather than let it happen and just don't play it. Strange.

With respect Matt, we were asked for our opinions. I have given mine along with others.

I am one of those against the idea, good luck to those that play if it goes ahead but I won't be getting involved and I have stated my reasons.

If you want an echo chamber, simply email Ben and ask him to remove any dissenting opinions. This should have the desired effect.
