People have suggested before that the all star teams should be run by actual managers, and the response is always that people don't want other managers in the league to see the abilities of their all star players. What would be your incentive to get players on the all star team if it meant that then your league rival could see your best players' abilities? Plus, how does this make it more fun for everyone? I can see how it might be more interesting for the one guy who now gets to "coach" the all star team, but for everyone else, it will be exactly the same as it is now in terms of excitement level. And honestly, I don't agree with you that there's nothing fun about the all star game. In seasons when I've had guys on the team, it has been entertaining to watch. Same goes for the 3-point competition.

If I may, I would like to use this thread to write my opinion about the All-Star Day. And my opinion is simple: there are no such useless thing as this day. Most of the people lose money from a home game that won't happen this weak to see a boring 3-point contest, and a unrealistic, even more boring game. All of you think: what's fun about this game? Let me think... nothing. And I had to pretend that I thought about it.


The main reason we have an All-Star Game is to ensure that we have a week with 2 Cup games for larger countries that need to be able to fit the Cup into the 14 week season.

Also, making a user the "manager" wont work, since he would not be given the skills of all the players and thus rendering tactical decisions moot.

I enjoy the All-Star Game, as do many, many users, and it's unlikely to have any wholesale changes.

My mistake I didn't specified that part. But, let me do it now. My idea was never to show the managers the skills of the selected players. Let me ask you a personal question? When you are studying your next opponent, and you're looking to his players, you need to see his skills to know the best player of the team, for example? I know almost every team in my league, and I'm pretty sure I can tell you where every player of that today's All-Star Game is at, in terms of skills. I can name eyes shut the best starting 5 of each conference, without needing to look at their skills. But ok, even without knowing that good the players, wouldn't that be more interesting to see a game with the 2 very best lineups (yes, because not always the best players make it to the starting 5), with a solid combo of tactics, facing off each other, than see a game with almost randomly choosed players, where everyone scores from everywhere? Opinions are opinions, and I respect yours, but it's really lame to lose a league match because of this boring day.

About the suposed manager seeing the skills of the players, I talked about it the post above.

About the necessary weak with the 2 cup games, sorry, but I don't buy it. Spain has the largest amount of users, and the cup had only been played last season till the first weak of the Playoffs. Why use a weak with 2 cup games, if the majory of the countries end his National Cup so early in the season? Even in Spain, it doesn't last till the end of it. Is that 2 cup games weak really necessary?

scores should be lower, maybe add some skill contest where every team can send players or so, rookie allstar game or sthg else...

allstar week should provide some fun and participation for everybody in the league not just a few chosen ones...

I'm probably the only person here that agrees with you. You can tell how good a player is by more than just attributes. (for ex, Salary, Game Rating) The game would be more fun for everyone to see if the top manager from each league could set the lineups and tactics.

at least, i like to see the start of the season after the last economy update, and not sometimes saturday the final and tuesday the first league match ;) I am not sure, but the BB also have a favorite day to enroll updates because of less prozessing of this updates and i believe that is also bewtwenn those days.

So where you get your extra game, to fill up the schedule?

I lhave an suggestion how the participants of the 3 point shooting contest are "recruted", in the german Professional league you are qualified for the 3 point contest when you have the best 3 pt percentage from the players who hit more then 35 3 pointers.

Maybe we could make it the same here maybe with 20 or 25 necessary three pointer, which gives team the chanche to have an participants without playing every game with outside Focus.
