so why do managers only seem to accept or offer home games for them?

Many perhaps want to follow the game at their usual game time or even worry about submitting their lineup in time. Or perhaps they don't feel their players deserve to go some place nice.

As long as I'm not paying their air fare, I don't care where my players go. :)

When i first started playing, i was quite enthusiastic about winning games, and i felt homecourt advantage would help me win :)

If I'm trying to buy a player I want to play my game as late as possible so if I pick up a free agent that needs minutes I can still play him and possibly even give him training minutes.

Just challenge them both ways home and away and let them chose what they prefer

There is one more way, that some people choose scrimmages.
1)If you play with an equal opponent you usually get 35-40 minutes played for the starting5, also you can get an OT and get some extra-minutes that can damage the player's GS, if they will get too many total minutes played.
2)If you play with a much weaker opponent - you will have your bench players playing in the last quarter, The starting5 will get about 25-30 minutes.
The same considers the tactics. If I need to play the equal match, like variant1 - I would put the "wrong" tactics for the match. I mean the worst possible one. If I need the second variant( 25-30 minutes for the starting5) I would prefer to put the best winning tactics to destroy my opponent during the first 3 quarters.
Sure, sometimes it's rather difficult to say on Saturday what variant you will need after 2 league games played, but sometimes I know that I will have 2 easy matches and I can arrange played minutes easily.
I usually prefer to play at home. The reason is that I will defenitely remember the exact time of the game and I will set my lineup in time.

It seems to me that this thread should have been made in the Help Forum..
