It is a bit of pain waiting for your cup to fill up, logging off, and finding that you technical lost all of your cup games because you had no tactics.

A option should be set so a default tactics set is used when no other tactics are set before hand.

Hi john,
you only need to be online when you are playing cups and friendly games. Later, when championship games are activated, you dont need to be present. The reason for this is, that we dont want that users play games while being absent. This is somehow an exploit or "power leveling" and the devs decided not to allow this.

Have fun!
