This would be awesome. They have something like it in hattrick but there's only owners and no players so it's not exactly exciting. The only problem with it there is you have to watch the soccer game in real time, and 90+ minutes is a bit much to sit there.

Therefore, I think it'd be awesome if this were done where the owners can set the speed of the game, as mentioned. Also, if you could do it more than once in case there are people who want to watch it right away and then another group when they get home from work in the evening, for example.

I actually think this should be a priority and I've thought so since I got my team in season 3. There is a level of interactivity in other MMO that isn't available here. Yeah, you can interact all you want to most of the time, but not when the actual "game" is taking place.

I'm all for it. This would build team like no other change would. I imagine it would also keep a lot of guys around who are considering quitting. I can see where this could be quite the lonely game, which is not the point of an MMO at all.

I like this idea, quite a bit. seems like it would build teams connections and make for tighter knit squads instead of 'I'm going to go to here for more money' ... even though money does essentially nothing in this game...

Very good idea.

This is an excellent idea. There is definitely something more exciting about watching a game unfold with your teammates. This would be even more fun if you could watch the game in the sportsbar "live" before the final score was posted anywhere. It would make it easier to resist the temptation to check out the final score before you watch...

I like the idea. Let the team GMs be moderators of their own private forum. Hell team owners can pay for this option - say 250 FP a season or something.

I agree...having played and GM'ed for TxSteve for the past 4.5 seasons I remember 'watching' the game unfold while madly typing in the forum. Gameday posts would be 6 or 7 pages long...now we're lucky to get 2. The MMO aspect of this game is lagging and I think it is causing the disinterest more than anything...you can only watch loldots so long by yourself before you become disinterested.

Great idea and I would love to see it implemented for S6

They make these, they are called Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MySpace Messanger, cell phones, telephones, walky talkies, CBs, Ham radios, satellite communications, web cams, tin cans with a string, smoke signals, and my favorite................watch it yourself and take notes type them into a PM, send it to the owner/GM/OC/DC and go watch a movie with a real life girl. This is football, not Match.com.

I am impressed that it took so long before a negative comment...even one that makes absolutely no sense. That must mean this is a great idea!

On the Evil Monkeys we have our own chat room and used to watch the games live, it really was a lot of fun. Made the games more exciting as your all waiting for the outcome. I support bringing this feature back or having something similar. Would definitely bring back some of the excitement to GLB

Great Idea, there have been plenty of times this season I wish I could have watched the game live.

I think this would be great for the playoffs, though with some of the uneven match ups in the regular season, there may be a better way, so every game does not have to be live. Maybe allow a team to pick like 4-6 games a season they can watch live, just set it up like 2 games in advance or something, and then every playoff game

+1 I would really like any option that let's us watch the game like an actual game not just reading stats later.
