What's people's opinion on improving the sun dream team game.

More transfers or less.
Improved player scoring
Star Man's being more reflective of actual performance.

Or any other ideas.

Personally 3 windows is enough for me

Improved player scoring
doubt there will be many arguments on this... but its always going to be subjective, thats the nature of the beast. I dont think there are too many horific injustices (obviously these should be eradicated)

Star Man's being more reflective of actual performance.
Apart from Teddy Sheringham's birthday, they usually are. Like the marking in general, there are always going to be disagreements... but by and large, not a lot can be done - and I quite like the lottery element :D


I'd like to see the website updated so you can see who your star man is (without going into the team)..... but appreciate this is only really of interest to those with more than 10 teams.

Would also like to see transfer windows to factor in rounds of games (whether it be EPL or internationals) i.e. the window closes on a Monday, yet there are 101 internationals on the Tue/Wed.

I'd really like them to put Man City and Man Utd in correct alphabetical order. I always scroll below Man City looking for Man Utd players when they are above.

Seeing the WDT star man on the main screen would be very useful.

I'd like the player lists to include what % of teams a player is in, rather than just the top 10. It would be useful when it came to making transfers. Even better would be if they managed to set it up so that we could see the % for only the top 500 teams or the top 1000 etc, or anyother cut off point you'd want

The 5 windows may mean that I will play again next season, if it drops back to 3 then I probably wont bother.

Much prefer 3 windows. Most of the guys I play with play the sun game because you don't have to pay much attention week in week out. Our numbers are down this year and will be much lower next year if 5 windows remains. Most are not big on football so don't want to pay close attention so often.

I love the sun ratings. Adds a great dimension that is different to the other games and i love tuning in to see what other points i may have picked up later. I've always liked the idea of 1pt for a 7 rating, 2 for 8, 3 for 9 and 4 for 10, or maybe 2 for 7 and so on. It's annoying when your player gets 9 and same as man of the match but the same points as someone who scrapes a 7 ;-) that said, given the moaning and controversy the current rating system causes, perhaps it's not a good idea.

I also wish weekend dream team kept the same extra 3 players reach week by default, so if you forget, at least you are entered.

How about this...Player prices are variable depending on how well they are performing.therefore players taking a risk on say putting sturridge in from the start ( or indeed any other transfer window) will be rewarded as if everyone else then wants to jump on the bandwagon they will have to pay a premium .
SIMPLES!

Its a very interesting idea, and I have thought about it in passing myself, but only problem i can see is say you pick your team for £50m, but due to performance, the price of a player rises from £3m to £5m, if you then decide to transfer him out, would you get £5m for him or just the £3m you paid and have to get the team under £50m again?

This system is place in other games. I don't think there is the need for it in the sun game because of the limited transfer opportunities.

Just my 2penneth worth.....

1/I would prefer it go back to 3(maximum 4) transfer windows....mid oct/dec/feb/april??
as peeps have said,too many team look the same with 5tw's

2/No more than 3 players from any 1 team....might make people change their views on block defences???

3/Pts scoring....hows about when the ratings come out,if your player scores a 5,you get 5pts,6=6pts etc,etc.....that would really throw the cat amongst the pidgeons :twisted:

Like i said,just my 2penneth worth :)

People moan enough about the subjective ratings. Imagine the gripes between someone getting a 6 or an 8.
