this is my first complete season but i cant figure out why we need this useless all-star game.

This week ruined my patient efforts to build ethusiasm (i dropped by 3 level) and is a nightmare for gameshape. It means that the people who are most affected are the people who actually manage carefully their team. Cant see any good reason for that.

Besides, this has been a pretty boring week.

ASG sucks!

For training and gameshape, I would rather fill my week with 2 scrimmages than with a useless ASG.

Ad of course it is the same for everyone, but if ur enthusiasm was 9 and it goes back to 6 or 7 i think that u are losing more than your opponent that does not manage enthusiasm and stay at 5. Same goes with gameshape.

Managing includes the handling of the special, not only the running of a routine.

Click Schedule... notice it tells you the entire season schedule ahead of time, complete with dates? Plan accordingly.

Thought id add my two cents here.
- MVP for the game and add a line that they were MVP in their player history - not a trophy though.
- anything to do with benefits from the 3pt shootout though, im in total disagreeance. and here is why:

When you look at the guys who make the cut for 3PT shooting, there is a minimum of attempts of 3PT shots in order to be considered. And its actually quite high. So you never get any backups nominated, AND more importantly, those people who play inside offenses all season where the number of 3PT shots is small, will never get their guards nominiated, even if their percentage is mint. the players who get nominated are those guys who are on teams where the offense is Patient, RNG, etc and their guards are shooting lots of 3's.

Ive been playing since season 11 and have never had a player nominated for 3PT competition, because ive mainly focused on standard/inside offenses.

So the problem is, is that if you introduce a benefit for the guy who wins it or nominated, (ie: merchandise, pops), then how on earth am I going to get someone nominated? Im going to have to start using a different offence all season, and I will haev to make sure that the guy whom i want to get a pop from the 3pt shootout is a guy i actually want an extra pop for (ie: a trainee) which means sacrificing him in league games AND playing an offence which doesnt suit my team. suddenly everyone is using patient/motion/rng, and playing trainee's at PG position in order to get a free pop or $$ during ASG.

So no, sorry im violiently against any form of benefit from the 3PT shootout and in general, any real league/player benefit from the ASG.
im ok with general recognition in the form of something in their player history, (do the all-star game stats get kept in the player statistics? There is an additional feature that might be alright).
