3v3 Review

Our 3v3 League is already finished. Some question concerning it i'd like to have answered and discussed by the participants.

Did you like the 3v3 league as addition to the normal FM league?
Was the time scheduling good (21:30CET)?
Would you take part again next season?

How did HTML work in a league competition? Did any problems occur?

I liked it and think it is cool for some teams.
The time scheduling was very good as teams treated it quite open and accepted playing a bit later when you had to play a postponed match or something like that.
I wont take part again next season (edit: eventhough if its played on same technology as 4vs4 i might consider).

i had no problems with html5 for the league competition.

Maybe I'm biased since it was my idea but I think it was one of best things FM did in years.

Was great to have more matches to play and not be bored when match is wildcarded.
3v3 was fun and lots of teams tried to play in exciting attacking mindset.
Saw some people playing which don't usually play 4v4 which is nice.
I think only 1 division worked well, fun to play vs different teams and nice change to 4v4.
Was anticipating lots of problems with wildcards but mostly was fine I think.

Only small problem was HTML rec saving issue if room is closed, hopefully basro fixes that soon.

That idea was one of the best I have seen here, in FM. We really enjoyed participating in 3v3 competition.
It was kind of try for the new version of haxball and It passed really well. I hope you’ll finally decide to change the mainly platform to html5 also in 4v4.
I think that 3v3 is pretty nice addition to 4v4 and I’m almost sure that most of teams still will play in this league in the another season.

I liked it aswell, not only to test html, but also to have something apart from the regular game(s).
It also helped to get more used to the html version, it still doesnt feel great, but alot better than before the 3v3 league.

I agree with this. It was great to give opportunity to players who usually don't play 4v4 or aren't in first line-up in 4v4 :thumbup:

+ It's also a possibility for "weaker" teams in 4v4 to have another gameplay and maybe be better in 3v3 and don't get demoralized of looses every week

I think the matches take way too long and should last 2x5 minutes instead of 2x7.. Also I'd suggest having a system overhaul, if that would be possible, of course. By that I mean playing once vs everyone and/or having top x teams play for the title vs each other again after the regular schedule.. Just a thought. :scratch:
