I think it is time that game shape training should be scrapped. The positives for it being removed are:
- More players being trained
- Users not being at a disadvantage for training.
- encourages game time management

Negatives:
-ehh... None

Same here. I consider it cheating.

Its a lot worse than using blank lineups, which was removed.

That's a really good question, and the simple answer is I'd prefer the superior talent. However the smaller the gap in talent, the more likely that the weaker player who is proficient GS will play better than his superior opponent.

I used to use GS training in the week leading up to the playoffs, since you can't be certain of GS changes regardless of minutes played, but I haven't opted for it in many seasons. I'd have no problem if it were scrapped.

cheating? really?


Well maybe not cheating, but it makes a different, pretty lame way to play the game possible. That was - in my opinion - part of why we are stuck in such a bad situation right now.
