The repercussions of having messy training is that it is harming people's ability to supply quality players on the market. If you train 2 positions, you probably want to retain 2 starters and 2 backups for your team. This means you really have 1 player to sell (or 2 if you choose to give them less than optimal training per week, which means they train slower). Will there be enough players circulating around in the long run? I am not completely sure.


And this maybe will help us to avoid too many Divines in Market as much as possible...

I won't change anything which make it attractive to loose in the national Cup. Also i could imagine, that some guys play in their friendly to win, because i got games like that with friends in a similiar game and maybe and i think one scrimmage like that at the beginning of this season.

What i like to see is a chanche of the blow out rule for all game, so that the coach don't let the 1st backups play but try to spare the minutes average - so when a starter got big foultrouble and less minutes he would come late in the game on court instead oof letting the backup staying on court.
So the minutes becomes a little bit more predictable, but their are no advances in friendly and you also have a kick in viewing a game and hoping your minute calculation is right.

Background: It is put forth pretty clearly that scrimmages only serve one purpose: to give minutes to players that hadn't played a lot in league games in a particular week. As such, they bring no revenue and do not affect enthusiasm and fans.

I read some reactions to this post, but not all, therefor I am not sure that what I write is not written yet, but I didn't see it so far.

I think there is another reason for scrimages, to be able to play with taktics, line-ups, and to see how the GE reacts to certain things. Maybe this is even the main reason why there are scrimages (do not read: main reason scrimages are used for, but do read meant for)

I do like the idea to be able to tweak minutes, but always leave the option available to tell the coach to play as if it was a league game. So there is still this room for experiments.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
