I know that sometimes missing games is unavoidable, but it's basically an hour to 2 hours (based on 2-4 games) each 3 days. It's not that much of a commitment.
I feel if more people used the match-up threads and/or text + right when the game advances, there'd be much less of an issue.

Not everyone has the same schedules.
For example I was online from 5-9:30 yesterday and none of the teams I needed to play were on. I am not about to get angry that peoples lives do not revolve around their playstations. Another example was when me and another GM recently had issues with a game. He was available only in the afternoon (I work and im not skipping a day of work to play a videogame) and refused to put his team on CPU suggesting instead I should (when my availability was any evening) I set my team to CPU and took the easy loss.
I am not one who sits staring at my phone hoping someone will respond to text+ or post in the thread, I like most do not have time for that.
Since the change over to easy mode CPU settings A LOT more games are going to sim because people do not want to take the guaranteed loss (and yes its damn near guaranteed) from letting their CPU get manhandled, The setting is wayyyyyyyy to easy. However the users who complained because in the second week because they were not instantly good at the game won out and now the league has to suffer for the remainder of the season.
With more then half of the GMs letting games go to Sims the last few weeks IMO the setting needs to be revisited.
