So I have a player that I promised 20 minutes to, he's averaging 17.4 at the moment and just sent me the "I'm confused, you promised me 20" email after 8 games. Every other time I've received that email in the game the pattern has been a 1-2 point loss in WE as a "silent warning," then if not corrected the complaint email with a slightly bigger WE hit. Since he's gained WE on the season though, I had figured he was in his "happy zone" until getting the email...

So the silly questions -- is it okay to ignore the email since there was no WE hit or does the generation of the email itself forebode a player quitting in transfer at season's end if I don't feed him that last 2.6 minutes?

If my past history means anything, you are very close to his "acceptable" number of minutes. I would think it is 18 or slightly higher. If you do nothing and he logs 17.4 minutes for the next 5 to 7 games you will get the second "I am unhappy" email and that will include the loss of WE. Hopefully you can give him a start against a Sim, or do something to increase him a minute or so this next few games.

Ask CubCub about his experience with this..

The latter, though not necessarily requiring 2.6 extra minutes. You do need to get the follow-up happy email to be entirely safe.

Bruh you’re close enough to his promised minutes that you have little to worry about, he won’t transfer.
