I think there should be an option to play with absolutely no effort/defense (what we see in allstar or charity games).

This option should be the number one choice for games against huge underdogs, like bots in cup games or newbies that recently joined the game.

This would allow the underdogs to score a decent amount of points, instead of getting slaughtered and losing with like -50 to -70 points.

For the favorite teams giving up a lot of points, those games could give a short boost in merchandise - everybody likes to watch those games where players are fooling around on the court and allow their opponents to score easy and spectacular points.

We need to find solutions to keep the newbies in small countries motivated!

Ontopic: I do not think this will be implemented, but I do not think it is a terrible idea.

Offtopic: *Clears throat* Get ontopic.

I don't think its necessary. When you are playing these bots/newbie teams, you will usually play your 7-12/13th man and end up winning by like 20-30 points. Its rather silly to play a full strength side to win by 50-70 points.

I play two new teams and one bot (cup) this week, so two blowouts are inevitable. I think that would be standard in many small countries.

Slaughtering weak teams makes sense if you want to build a big point differential and get your players ranked higher in the league leaderboards.

However I would prefer to give the underdog a break and beat them with a result that makes them think they are not that far away from beating me, then they really are.
